I am a huge fan of his music and was excited to find out more about who he was, but my brother, also a fan, sent me the book after reading it himself and said that he had a hard time enjoying the music now after reading about what a mean, abusive maniac this man could be. So i turned the first page with a small amount of fear that my pedestal for this musical genius would be destroyed. In all honesty he had a large number of faults and dealt with many things poorly, but in the end I was pleased to find that my respect for the man and his legacy had not lessened. In fact it grew more to the point that I am building my collection of his entire discography. He was a treasure to the music world and he will be missed. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

When Warren Zevon died in 2003, he left behind both a fanatical cult following and a rich catalog of dark, witty rock-n-roll classics that includes "Lawyers, Guns, and Money," "Excitable Boy," and the immortal "Werewolves of London." He also left a trove of misadventures and anecdotes, a veritable rock opera of drugs, women, celebrity, high times, and hard ways. As Warren once said, "I got to be Jim Morrison a lot longer than he did." I'll Sleep When I'm Dead is an intimate and unusual oral history of one of our most original and distinctive rock-and-roll antiheroes. Narrated by his former wife and longtime co-conspirator, Crystal Zevon, the book draws on over eighty interviews with the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Stephen King, Billy Bob Thornton, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and countless others who came under his mischievous spell. The result is a raucous and moving tale of love and obsession, creative genius and epic bad behavior. 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.

It's not something I'd recommend to anyone but a Zevon fan, but it's an intriguing peek into an era and one of the most unique and creative songwriters and performers of rock and roll. ( )
