October 30th, 2002, Warren Zevon guests on The David Letterman Show. He’s the only guest. The entire episode is dedicated to him. Warren has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, and he comes on the show to talk about it with his friend David Letterman. He performs 3 songs, which are his final public performances, and chats very frankly with Dave about what’s happening in his life at that time, and leaves us with the very sage advice of “Enjoy every sandwich.”
Today in 1999, Lenny Kravitz releases his 6th album, “Lenny”, which features the Grammy Award-winning hit, “Dig In.”
Today in 1982, Men at Work’s, “Who Can It Be Now?” goes to #1, giving them their first chart-topping hit.
