He's Not So Excitable Now
(Props to Kirsti)
Warren Zevon, whose musical career was so much more than the song everyone knows, Werewolves of London, died yesterday at the age of 56, more than a year after being given 3 months to live in his battle with lung cancer. Zevon's career could almost be a soundtrack for the Dead Pool, with such songs as I'll Sleep When I'm Dead, Life'll Kill Ya and Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead, and his final album, begun after the announcement of terminal cancer, Knocking on Heaven's Door.

With such advance notice, most people jumped on the Zevon dead-wagon: Kirsti, Keith, Conni, Mark, Greg, Michelle, Christine, John and Me, or everyone but Joan-Marie and Shawn, the Lanterne Rouge of our Deathwatch Peloton.

The leaderboard:
1st: Kirsti 5 dead, 48.44444444
2nd: Keith 5 dead, 43.88888889
3rd: Conni 5 dead, 26.11111111
4th: Me 4 dead, 33.88888889
5th: Greg's Wily Veterans 3 dead, 26.22222222
