Warren Zevon and Hunter S. Thompson

OboxerU Says:

Apr 14, 2008 - He had meso?Even so, smoking certainly wouldn't help.

bklynproud Says:

Apr 14, 2008 - Yes, he did. They think he probably picked up the asbestos either in his grandfathers carpet store where he played often as a child or in the home built studio he had near the beginning of his career. Asbestos might have been in the acoustical tile used as soundproofing.

bklynproud Says:

Apr 14, 2008 - No you're right it didn't help but it didn't cause it. I guess that is the distinction that needs to be made. Many people view smokers (and rightfully so) who come down with cancer surrounding the lungs as the creators of their own demise but Warren's case was different. He had quit smoking many, many years before his diagnosis and only took it back up when he was handed a cut and dried death sentence.

Jul 20, 2008 - People say smokers create their own demise And RIGHTFULLY so. Who the fuck are you? Rightfully is a malapropism. The word YOU want is RIGHTEOUSLY. Where the fuck do you get off knowing who dies from what carcinogen? But the real fuckhead concept of a judgement on blaming the victim as the cause of their own death? And you self rts. grr place a particlar distain for cigaretes, choose this pile-on for your noblesse oblige? What about the 90yo smoker who dies of a fx hip?

dynamoehummm Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - these are to bklynDid he create his own demise to be pardoned in the last 3 seconds of life by a blame-free banana peel? And some that give up smoking earlier then die of cancer? You have all the fucking answers and implied moral culpability, enlighten us with that beam of shit? My father died of pancreatic cancer at 52. Alcohol is to pancreatic cancer what smoking is to lung cancer. My father had two glasses of wine his entire life!So he's free from blame in his cancer.

dynamoehummm Says:

Jul 20, 2008 - I know stastistics and causality. I don't deny them, because they are numbers from studies. They themselves don't imply 'they deserved it' That 13yo girl brought it on herself with that skirt. Of course sodomy yer neck slit is the punishment fer that. That's the same mentality of simplistic moral superiority by those who can'tfucking handle things not neatly tucked in a box filed away. One agent causes cancet. Filed. Skirts and girls. Filed. Cut and dried sentence. There's a flexible mind

AnfoMerc Says:

Aug 27, 2008 - That was cool. I never got to see them around a house. I'll have to pick that DVD up. I celebrated their senses of humor and especially Warren's all around musicianship.

nWo24life Says:

Aug 29, 2008 - Hunter and Warren...two great legends who are sadly no longer with us. May both of them Rest In Peace, and we should all be thankful to them for leaving us such great work.

Sep 8, 2008 - amazing. Imagine being in that room...

fourhands52 Says:

Sep 11, 2008 - Just FYI, the kind of cancer that Warren Zevon died from, mesothelioma, is not linked to cigarette smoking.

ScarletKnights Says:

Oct 10, 2008 - It makes me sad to think that both of these men are now dead. They were both amazing.
