I do think of him often. And in light of my proximity to the big fault line, these lyrics keep coming to mind:

"And if California slides into the ocean
Like the mystics and statistics say it will
I predict this motel will be standing until I pay my bill..."

Yup. One of my all-time favorites. Probably because we have (had) pretty much the same outlook on life.

He was able to quit the booze until informed that he had a death sentence, then he drank heavily till the end of his life. Thankfully, he had the strenght and the talent to collaborate with his friends and put out his final album - while he was Knock Knock Knockin' on Heavens Door.

The perfect sing-a-long, drinkin' down the road tape in a 74 Capri...packed with idiots and beer...but we sang along to Bruce and everybody else too!

Front passenger seat was a Coleman cooler....

Good times

One of my favorites. His final appearance on Letterman and "keep me in your heart for a while " makes me tear up still to this day. Enjoy Every Sandwich is a motto and may become a tattoo before too long

I didn't know that. Somehow, I've managed to develop a sarcastic pessimism remarkably similar to his while remaining (for the most part) stone cold sober. Maybe I should drink more.

Great lyrics...

He found him in Mombasa
In a barroom drinking gin
Roland aimed his Thompson gun
He didn't say a word
But he blew Van Owen's body
From there to Johannesburg

Little old lady got mutilated late last night.....
Rolls off the tongue like Lyle Lovett’s
Put down that fly shatter and get me some ice water.
I recorded Zevons interview on Letterman and watch it periodically for inspiration.
What did Dave say after Zevons first appearance, something to the effect ‘ want to go out and have a drink?’ They wound up in a rented car some where like Witchita.
Thought it ironic his second to last album before he knew he was terminal the title was.
‘My Ride is Here’.
