Both Dave and Paul really loved Warren:


Letterman recalled his "heartbreaking" meeting with Zevon in a dressing room after the show.

"Here's a guy who had months to live and we're making small talk. And as we're talking, he's taking his guitar strap and hooking it, wrapping it around, then he puts the guitar into the case and he flips the snaps on the case and says, `Here, I want you to have this, take good care of it.' And I just started sobbing.

"He was giving me the guitar that he always used on the show. I felt like, `I can't be in this movie, I didn't get my lines.' That was very tough," Letterman said.

That's very touching. He must've thought very highly of Letterman to do that.


I remember that Warren did a few shows with Dave in his last few months. After he died, Dave and Paul devoted most of a show to him and his music.

That was a rare thing for Dave. They were obviously quite close.

I know, I'd have cried like a baby. Actually I did when Dave was doing his tribute show for him.

I"ve been lying in a bed of stone
I"ve been dying all alone
I pray for the power to turn it around
I'm too old to die young
And too young to die now
WZ (from "Bed Of Coals")

Waaay too young...
