It's rare that I don't finish a book but I just couldn't take any more of this one. Warren Zevon was a great musician but an awful person. This book, which is a series of narratives, anecdotes, vignettes from family, friends, fellow musicians, and his own diaries tells the whole ugly truth of his addictions, womanizing, obsessions, violence, and other bad behavior. I didn't know much about him other than his music and I'm sorry I found out. Before his death, Zevon asked his ex-wife to write this book and spare no gory details. She followed his wishes. Maybe in the future I'll pick it up and finish it.
