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.
