About the book
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.
