"IT MATTERS TO ME"



Warren Zevon said, "It matters to me," in a story Crystal Zevon tells in her book, I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD: THE DIRTY LIFE AND TIMES OF WARREN ZEVON. Don't know how I would have made it through the last year of R's life without the benefit of having read Crystal Zevon's book, written at the urging of Warren Zevon.

"If you do it, you've got to tell the whole truth, even the awful, ugly parts, because that's the excitable boy who wrote them excitable songs." (quote from the above video -- the segment where Crystal Zevon is relating Warren Zevon's words about the book he wanted her to write and which became I'LL SLEEP WHEN I'M DEAD: THE DIRTY LIFE AND TIMES OF WARREN ZEVON, published in May 2007.)

I titled my blog "Old Girl of the North Country" in December 2006, before had I read Crystal Zevon's story about Warren's song, "Old Girl."

"It matters to me."
