Patron Saint of Sandwiches*, he is.
Warren Zevon is not quite six degrees away, more like five. I can imagine him in my living room, enjoying a something or ruther.
The Late Show With David Letterman
Don’t miss The Late Show with David Letterman on CBS tonight, Friday, September 5 at 11:30 pm ET/PT when Dave welcomes Steve Earle as his featured musical guest. On this broadcast Steve will pay tribute to Warren Zevon with a performance of “Reconsider Me”, a song by the musical legend, who passed away almost exactly five years ago to the day.
Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is a mystery.
Today is a gift.
That’s why it’s called the PRESENT.
Forgive me Warren, for I have cliched.
*Enjoy Every Sandwich: Songs of Warren Zevon is a tribute released in 2004 to the late Warren Zevon.
The album’s title comes from an interview Zevon did on The Late Show with David Letterman following Zevon’s having been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Letterman asked Zevon if there was anything he understood now, facing his own mortality, that he didn’t before. Zevon replied, “Just how much you’re supposed to enjoy every sandwich.”

The Lunch Encounter 
As I sit at my desk, staring at a computer screen all I can say is Amen to that Warren. Each day is a present, especially those that include a trip to Breadline or a fresh Toast post!
I’m with ya! My gift of a day yesterday wore me out and I was not up for Steve Earle. How bout you?
