RIP
Jim Carroll: author, rocker, junkie, street poet, and the closing symbol in the parenthesis that was punk rock.

By now you’ve probably heard, but writer of the Basketball Diaries and The Book of Nods, the Ginsberg of his generation and the hustler-saint of Inwood and the LES is dead, at the age of 60, of a heart attack (Friday night).

It feels like the Last Days of New York.
Stay handsome, Jim.
