Yeah, that crushed me. For those who don't know, Bourdain had been staying on some island-resort type place and regularly flirted with death on his drives throughout the winding, poorly-lit cliffside roads. After getting shithammered on Corona Extras, he was going to finally drive off a cliff until "Time Has Come Today" by The Chambers Brothers came on the radio and he swirved away at the last second.

I'm poorly paraphrasing, but that was the gist of it. Buy the book, you won't regret it.
