Nearly a week snce my last post. It isn't that I don't have anything to say, just not much time to say it. When Warren Zevon was told that he only had three months left to say his piece, his reaction was to book a studio and start recording his 14th album. VH1, the music channel, recorded the process for their (Inside)Out series and later released it on DVD. I saw the show when it was on TV before Christmas, but I only just got around to watching the DVD. I'd forgotten what a tearjerker (Inside) Out: Warren Zevon (Amazon UK list this as Warren Zevon - Keep Me In Your Heart, but they are wrong) was. It is quite casually shot, with excerpts from a wide range of Warren's music, and chronicles his dying and the making of The Wind". It is well worth seeing, even if you are in the majority and you've either never heard of Warren at all, or you've only ever heard 'Werewolves of London'. The DVD has a number of extras, as is the fashion, and some of them are worth a listen. I particularly like the footage of Bruce Springsteen recording his stuff for 'Disorder in the House'.
Stop Press: Jordan Zevon, Warren's son, has just released some footage not used in the film of Warren with Hunter S. Thompson. Read about it on the Warren Zevon Bulletin Board.
