Editorial Review: Product Description: 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. Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Very funny and entertainingGreat book about an interesting person. Warren was a unique person to say the very least. His apartment is West Hollywood was called "cat piss" manor. I laughed until I cried. Rating:  - ZevonGreat Book, it shows the good, the bad and the ugly of Warren. Also gives great insight into the songs and his influences. Rating: - What a great Read!An amazing insight into the life journey that was 'Warren Zevon'. This book really gave me an even greater appreciation of all his music and songwriting abilities when I realised the conditions and context under which he compiled his material. It also gives great insight into the many, many people who loved the guy for who he was and helped him whenever they could, even when his addictions made him unpleasant to be arround. A honest, up front insight into his life and the lives surrounding this genius. Few such as he will pass this way. Rating: - Warren Zevon "I'll Sleep When I'm Dead"Fascinating! Great insights from the people who knew him - interesting to hear from so many different types of people - writers, singers, actors and just plain old characters. Especially interesting for long-time Warren Zevon fans, but an interesting read for anyone. Couldn't put it down! Rating: - In the eye of the storm. . . Very sad tale about a guy who's talent ne'er waned, even when he was drinking, drugging or sexing himself to death. Took a lot of people with him, most of whom are quoted here, and you really find out what it was like to be close to him. Reason I gave it 4 stars: The one thing missing that the writer could never have known was what Zevon's rising and falling star looked like from the outside, and how it affected the rockin' culture as a whole. A lot of that perspective gets covered as a matter of course, but some of it is missing simply because almost everyone interviewed was very close to ground zero. That's also what makes this book so riveting, and I think it had to be written this way. Best stories: When Waddy ... Read More: |
