Poet, punk rocker, author of "Basketball Diaries", Jim Carroll at age 60. From one lapsed "Catholic Boy" to another, Goodbye Jim.

The more I think of it, the sadder it is – all the folks from that period; Joey, Dee Dee & Johnny Ramone have already gone before him years ago. What a bummer.

I totally remember this Eighties song, but didn't know who the artist was. Now I know. Thanks.

Godspeed, Jim, and thank you.

Another one gone from the Punk/New Wave era. This song often showed up on compilation albums for 80's music.
