Interesting story. Most people will only  remember "People Who Died," (one 
of the premier nihilist songs ever), but he  was much than that. 
 
Cheers,

You know I have his album "Catholic Boy" from The Jim Carroll Band  since I 
was 12, and I first heard him on KROQ radio in 1980. He is one  of my 
favorite poets and even got to see him perform poetry and read  from short 
stories for free at UCLA in the early 90's. I should have  went up to him for only 
one girl did, but I was a bit shy. Most of the crowd  was UCLA students and 
we seemed to be the only punks. He was a crack up  though! RIP JC.

Jim  Carroll, 60, Poet and Punk Rocker, Dies
By WILLIAM GRIMES

Jim  Carroll, the poet and punk rocker in the outlaw tradition of Rimbaud  
and Burroughs who chronicled his wild youth in “The Basketball  Diaries,” 
died on Friday at his home in Manhattan. He was  60.

The cause was a heart attack, said Rosemary Carroll, his former  wife.
