InsideOut: Warren Zevon - Keep Me in Your Heart

Starring: Warren Zevon

RS: 3of 4 Stars

Few have ever said goodbye with the dignity of Warren Zevon. (Inside) Out -- a repurposed VH1 documentary, with added interview footage and two Zevon videos -- records the final days of the acclaimed songwriter as he digs deep and produces one last masterpiece, the 2003 Grammy winner The Wind. The man who wrote "Poor, Poor Pitiful Me" shows no self-pity. "I think it's a sin not to want to live," he says at one point. "Life is too good, whatever the circumstances."
