Ain't that pretty at all

There's an article on the first (and so far only) Warren Zevon biography to come out at the NY Times Web site. It gives the thumbs up to the new work, and describes Zevon as "lovable but aberrant." I preordered a copy from Amazon, and hopefully it will be here before the weekend, because I am anxious to read it. Although the article is positive, I remain skeptical, because the book was put together by Zevon's ex-wife Crystal (at his request.) I hope it's a balanced look at the man and artist, and not a vehicle for bashing or glorifying him. We shall see.
