On October 30, 2002, Zevon was featured on the Late Show with David Letterman as the only guest for the entire hour. The band played âIâll Sleep When Iâm Deadâ as his introduction. Zevon performed several songs and spoke at length about his illness. Zevon was a frequent guest and occasional substitute bandleader on Lettermanâs television shows since Late Night first aired in 1982. He noted, âI may have made a tactical error in not going to a physician for 20 years.â It was during this broadcast that Zevon first offered his oft-quoted insight on facing death: âEnjoy every sandwich.â He also took time to thank Letterman for his years of support, calling him âthe best friend my musicâs ever hadâ. For his final song of the evening, and his final public performance, Zevon performed âRoland the Headless Thompson Gunnerâ at Lettermanâs request.
