Reply to This weekend is the 20th anniversary of Warren Zevon's final appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman by TheResurrection
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.

And the whole plan was just a fuck up from the beginning.
It was all planned for a different location, then changed last minute without adjusting anything.
Dulles even mentioned privately afterward that he always knew that the invasion would very likely require US air or naval fire support but just assumed that when things were going down, Kennedy would agree. Kennedy did not agree to intervene militarily though.
More than anything, this is on Allen Dulles.
