A total, utter, complete bloody genius!, don't even think about disagreeing, this man was so talented and unique.

No-one can fill his shoes, we have lost someone special, thank you Warren, thank you so much!

Cancer is a wierd bastard. You can look ok on the outside but you're being eaten away within. Chemo makes you look on the outside like what's going on on the inside, totally messes you up and might add a year to your life depending on the cancer you have but it's not the way out I'd like. Warren chose his exit and went out good-looking and un-chemofied. Can't do better than that

Happy Birthday WZ!! I'm happy for the experience of meeting and partying with you and your memory hasn't wavered.

[Jayk4896]

@mrbadx19 From your comments on how WZ chose to live his life and your glib comment about his politics only shows who is the real idiot. BTW, you should try educating yourself about mesothelioma and whom you should actually fear politically.

OBAMA 2012

@mrbadx19 How exactly did he bring us Obama?

[Rikk303]

@mrbadx19 I'm totally apolitical and don't see why that should be an argument anyway. As I said, certain cancers are best dealt with by a dignified acceptance. You'll see that in any person who's had to make the choice. Heroic is the only way I can describe it

[mrbadx19]

@Rikk303 my dad had cancer 32 years ago, had an operation and chemo, couldn't tell the difference, bastard was bald when he was 17, 32 years later he's 73 and still kickin'. warren was an idiot, choosing hunter thompson for a doctor. well liberals are that way, i liked warren's music, but i feared his politics, he brought us Obama..

There are amazing acts on this show. I like how Letterman is respectful and knowledgable about good music. Paul and that band are one of the best in the world also and you can see Warren knows it.

240P we meet again

Major props to Letterman on this too, held it together very well. I would've cried like fuck (and I am now).

Fantastic, touching stuff. Like Tori Amos' performance on the post-9/11 episode of Late Show, Warren's performances here are just so touching and profound.

I play Roland on my IPod and usually sing along to it if no ones around. Terrific and clever song.

I love Letterman and think he shows incredible class and taste with shows like this one and the now-iconic 9/11 show.
