On This Day In 2003 The World Lost A Great Musician

On this day in 2003 musician and songwriter Warren Zevon died of pleural mesothelioma, a cancer caused by exposure to asbestos. The title song from his final album The Wind still brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.

  2. It's a terrible disease and Canada continued to export asbestos to foreign countries long after the danger was known. There are shocking pictures of kids in India playing in asbestos waste.
