Says, "He allowed himself to be adored but not loved." Ends with the lines, "Like for this cat, the only reality is death, man. Here in his final appearance on the Great Stage of Life -- uh, you can applaud if you wanna -- "<BR/><BR/>I saw the VH-1 show about Zevon when it aired.

Then I did a five-season outline, the first four seasons taking their names from one of Zevon's works -- Season 1, Mohammed's Radio; Season 2, Desperados Under the Eaves; Season 3, Accidentally Like a Martyr; Season 4, Keep Me In Your Heart. Only the last piece, "Never Coming Home," doesn't come from a song by Zevon -- and that season ends with a really great song by him.<BR/><BR/>I didn't listen to anything but Zevon while I was writing that outline.
