It is with great saddness that I report this item from the LA Times: LOS ANGELES -- Warren Zevon, a restless, sardonic bard who embodied the dark edge and excess of the famed singer-songwriter scene in 1970s Southern California, died after a battle with lung cancer. He was 56. Sleep well, Warren. |

Who else remembers seeing him substituting for Paul Schaefer on the Dave Letterman show as band leader and comedy sidekick? |

And he did it without wearing flaming pink suits and matching sunglasses either. His wit was so dry he'd catch David off guard, fun to watch. Definately a musician with his own style. |
