I love when Letterman is asking him about his health, and Zevon says "I may have made a tactical error by not going to a physician for 20 years."

His jocular attitude in the face of certain death is pretty inspiring.

His song "My Shits Fucked Up" is a perfect reflection of his attitude while dying.

You know, I see this as his life-long kind of cynical self. Keep Me In Your Heart….written 3 months before he died. I think he let down his guard and showed his soft side and we are all better for it. I cry every time I hear that song.

I really enjoy that song, but I don’t listen to it very often because it’s such a gut punch.
