...first made a splash with the 1978 album Excitable Boy, featuring a novelty hit, Werewolves of London, about beasts who mutilate old ladies and then drink pina coladas at Trader Vic's. He went on to show his skill at tender ballads, true-crime tales and bluesy odes to doom and death in more than a dozen albums. After he went public with his cancer diagnosis last year, he produced, with the help of admirers like Bruce Springsteen, Emmylou Harris and Tom Petty, a goodbye album, The Wind, which was released last month to critical and commercial success.

Predictors of doom said Saddam would set oil wells on fire, causing an environmental disaster, and that his Republican Guard would cause our troops horrendous problems. Mostly wrong! They said Saddam would use chemical or biological weapons, killing tens of thousands. Wrong! They said Saddam would launch Scud missiles into Israel. Wrong!
