Going out with grace and dignity

So often Americans spend their last waking moments not with family or a loving mistress, but with a lawyer and a pending lawsuit. They blame everyone from Phillip Morris to Philly cheesesteaks for the cancer or the lumpy gravy pumping through their veins. So it was quite a relief to see how Warren Zevon dealt with his lung cancer, which he passed away from Sunday night. A lifelong smoker and heavy drinker in his younger years, Zevon realized he "chose a certain path and lived like Jim Morrison and lived 30 more years. You make choices and you have to live with the consequences." Shouldn’t we remember him for those wise words instead of “Werewolves of London”?
