The COVID-19 Diary: Sunday 30 October

Twenty years ago today Warren Zevon gave his final performance. The Ringer has a nice article about it. The link to the performance is below. Zevon’s music has a significant place in my life’s soundtrack, particularly from 1978 – 2003. He’s in my pantheon of People to Admire but Not to Emulate, along with his friend Hunter S. Thompson, among others. I miss him. Requiescat in pace.

Stay healthy and safe.
