Warren Zevon RIP --- For those of you who don't already know. The world lost one of the true greats. Warren Zevon died in his sleep Sunday at home. A unique voice, a gift for songwriting, a twisted wit and a bottomless thirst for Mountain Dew are a few of the things he'll take with him. They don't make them like Warren Zevon anymore.
