I'll Sleep When I'm Dead
I'll Sleep When I'm Dead: The Life and Times of Warren Zevon | Crystal Zevon
5 posts | 5 read | 5 to read
When Warren Zevon died in 2003, he left behind a rich catalog of dark, witty rock 'n' roll classics, including "Lawyers, Guns and Money," "Excitable Boy," and the immortal "Werewolves of London." He also left behind a fanatical cult following and veritable rock opera of drugs, women, celebrity, genius, and epic bad behavior. As Warren once said, "I got to be Jim Morrison a lot longer than he did." Narrated by his former wife and longtime co-conspirator, Crystal Zevon, this intimate and unusual oral history draws on interviews with Bruce Springsteen, Stephen King, Bonnie Raitt, and numerous others who fell under Warren's mischievous spell. Told in the words and images of the friends, lovers, and legends who knew him best, I'll Sleep When I'm Dead captures Warren Zevon in all his turbulent glory.

Holy Christmas, Batman. Guys - I'm friggen beat. I've been working 12+ hour days for the last 2 weeks. I'm a chef and run a kitchen and I'll tell ya what, Christmas time is a ridiculous season for us in the hospitality business. I still have tomorrow & Christmas eve to work, will get the 25 and 26th off & then it's right back into it.

This was a heckuva lot easier when I was younger. 🤣

I'm not complaining, love what I do - but boy...I'm tired.

robinb Hope you have a Merry (and restful) Christmas! 😊 And Thank You for providing such wonderful and delicious options for all of us! ❤️ 7y
Tamra 💪🏾 Hang in there! 7y

GrilledCheeseSamurai Thanks all. Sore feet and achy backs are easily fixed with a stiff drink, a good book, and the company of good Litsy friends. 😊 @BookInMyHands @IamIamIam @Tamra @robinb 7y

Best rock 'n roll biography out there! Written by his ex and told from many perspectives, it's not the usual sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll saga. Zevon was a writer and reader, a lover of literature.

Last minute #musicandbooks #AugustPhotoChallenge Part II! As you can see, I am interested in the stories and myths we tell about rock and roll - both in the songs and the people. Rock music seems uniquely suited for "oral history," too. These are just my paperbacks - I have a number of hardcovers as well!

MrBook Nice! 😊👍🏻 9y
RiotMom Please Kill Me is so good!! ❤️ 9y
