Summary: Dirty Life And Times
Review: VH1 broadcast an outstanding documentary about Warren Zevon making his album "The Wind" while he was terminally ill. It's great to finally have that documentary available on DVD, but the additional footage is a bit disappointing. I was hoping they would show more of Warren's last appearance on the David Letterman show, and include a complete performance of at least one song from that, but they didn't. Also, it was hard to hear the interviewer in some of the bonus interview footage. On the plus side, the music videos for the songs "Keep Me In Your Heart" and "Disorder In The House" are excellent. It's also a treat to watch Bruce Springsteen playing all of his guitar part, including two sizzling solos, for the song "Disorder In The House," while Warren watches in amazement. Warren Zevon touched a lot of lives and made a lot of famous friends. Several of them made guest appearances on his last album, including Jackson Browne, Ry Cooder, Don Henley, Tom Petty, Joe Walsh and the aforementioned Bruce Springsteen. My hope is that their experience of working with Warren will motivate them and other great musicians to participate in a tribute album to Warren Zevon.

Summary: Keeping him in my heart...
Review: When Warren Zevon was diagnosed with terminal cancer, he decided to make one last album, "The Wind," and the process is documented in this DVD. This effort is genuinely touching without being the least saccharine. Warren faced his last months with courage, grace, and a last surge of creative genius, and we are the richer for it. I'm hoping that someone will come up with a documentary (and/or a book biography) exploring Warren Zevon's entire "dirty life and times." He came of age in Los Angeles at a time when the music industry there was enormously prolific, and it would be of great interest to know more about Zevon's astonishingly durable web of friendship, his good times and bad ones as well.
