@Snafu1OH1 putting basketball diaries and dawn of the dead in the same sentence is borderline retarded.

[Snafu1OH1]

RIP Jim Carroll. RIP CBGB. RIP Punk Rock.

[TheSonofhender]

[SonnyJamesJefferson]

@blondieesss The first time you see Elliot's house, you can hear it fade in and it's playing in the kitchen when they're playing Dungeons and Dragons.

[Kylesesh]

Amy's taking drugs she's 27 years old, took to many drugs, one time, she peeled over and started to chug, on a load of weed and a cocaine line.

(sing chorus) :)

[gluserty]

This song was also played briefly in the obscure 1985 film "Tuff Turf" in which Jim Carroll had a cameo (he played the song "It's Too Late" in some kind of underground club).

[IJERKDUMB19]

R.I.P MICHEAL JACKSON

[IJERKDUMB19]

@Antnj81 hahahah youre being sarcastic

[notahemi]

Just damn. I mean, I have known people that died, but It looks like it is dangerous to be this guy's friend.

"ODed on Draino"? Who eats Draino? That is a bad way to go.

[Lrpesme48]

@notahemi Nofuckingbody eats draino, and I agree, I do NOT want to be considered Jim Carroll's friend.

[Devourthebook15]

Murdoc's Pirate Radio, fuck yeah. ;)

[amthewalrus1951]

Amie Winehouse must have never seen Jim

[BenFlexin]

@amthewalrus1951 fuck off with the winehouse shit

[CleansWithRag]

This song is in the credits of "Dawn Of The Dead" remake.

[markblyn]

Loved this song, even before they used it on 'E.T.' - remember when they're eating dinner before the kid sees the little guy. I would like to say that I'm glad I was never Jim Carroll's buddy - they didn't seem to fair too well.

[pieman5ooo]

grate song, lol i herd this song from dawn of the dead re make i think and i found the vid right after watching cabin feaver 2, lol both good movies.

[LeGette88]

R.I.P RYAN DUNN

[boats752]

crap

[MrLovro123]

deep song

[jaslinc1]

@Nicodemas Jesus was a friend of mine Died. All my friends might live.

Jim rocks Death itself. Great beat just have to shut up and let Him do it all.

Wasn't Carroll the 'Jim' that LouReed had such a hard good time trying to live with?

[fuzzprobe]

15 people were offed by the very same bikers!

[Tylerfeigl]

its mrs life aka bitch

[russocomedy]

I liked the Diaries film. Good performances by the actors and a realistic reflection of the mean streets but while I was impressed by the dark entertainment value I would have liked a glimpse into the structures of the heart that grips us so hard we become addicted, unaware we are designing our own destruction. I'm grateful that Jim Carroll left us this powerful message before going on to his next gig.

[woonsocketrocket]

I still love this song all these years later.

[leldux10]

I just watched "Basketball Diaries" & all I wanna say is: don't fuck up your life cause you only got on chance,one life to live! You can live normally ,even successfully but you can also live and feel like your already died. Please choose the first one! R.I.P. Jim, thanks for your strength&talent!

[bloodCONTRA]

@cjpetit right on man

[dryter]

@bloodCONTRA Jesus was a friend of mine. He died.

[cjpetit]

95 people a minute die, you do the math, this world ends for you when you take your last breath, then eternity starts either in Heaven or hell. Choose Christ while you have breath. One month later you will not even be a memory in most people's mind. Life goes on with or without you, you are a vapor of mist in time hear on earth, born for eternity.

[dryter]

@cjpetit Jesus was a friend of mine. He died.

[WYXnick]

did he died

[Gongeman76]

Also a great song I love!

[RussellRiot]

Love all jim carrolls work,, although the movie portrayed his book and they got jims blessing to do it,, they are real different from each other. I love both. I like the book better though because whenever im high or feel like it you can open the book and start reading anywhere and enjoy it . You dont have to read it from start to finish,,, although ive done so a few times,,, i looove to just randomly open it and start reading from that passage.. I really want to read downtown diaries,

[krizonras17]

marky mark ftw

[mikeshanteler]

This song was a fav of my pal and me back in '79-80 when it came out. We lost touch and I just found out he hung himself.and died. RIP Jim and Paul.

[scgiants]

to JC - 1 yr DEAD

[markblyn]

I loved this track. Remember buying back in what...81' or something and then a year or so later where do I hear it. E bloody T. I wonder who knew who to get that record into the film, and I wonder if it's on the soundtrack. Hang on, let me look on Amazon...........Aha, Nope it isn't. Should be though.  Ah well all in all I'm glad to say I was never a friend of Jim Carroll. Doesn't seem to have done anyone any good being his buddy!

[RCassII]

Grateful Dead Fans are "People who Dyed, Dyed."

[robojony91]

it this from a movie? cause thats di caprio right?

[VoodooFrost]

@robojony91 In the movie "Basketball Diaries", Leonardo Dicaprio plays the role of Jim Carroll, a young teenager who gets addicted to drugs and his life crumbles around him, but in the end he finds a way out through his writing. Jim Carroll wrote "the Basketball Diaries" as an autobiography, but in addition to being an author/poet, he was also a musician. The man singing in this video is the real Jim Carroll. It's pretty cool that the man lived to see his autobiography made into a movie. RIP

[poushk]

@robojony91 the movie is Basketball diaries, a must see!

[sagebrushing]

@robojony91 jim carroll is from the 70's..new york..poet..poet..poet....chec­k him out , it's worth it....

[mauvaisehabitude]

@robojony91

Carroll was best known for his 1978 autobiographical work The Basketball Diaries, which was made into the 1995 film of the same name, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Carroll. Really powerfull movie...

[TheCatwoman27]

Also, I wonder how this would be if J.Cash sang this O_O AWESOME!

[TheCatwoman27]

Did anyone else count how many people died?

[st1lker]

heroin kills

[Lado1965]

You Rule, Jimi! I agree with thomasbaron06: All the ones who dislike this epic song, need to Die! Die!...

[stephenhayesuk]

Jimi I miss you more than the others but I'm sorry for them all

[TVI713]

In there early to mid70s punk erupted in NY city in a club called CBGB's. Bands like The Ramones with their heavy guitar driven sound would later on influence British Punk super stars like the Sex Pistols turning the focus of the movement over seas. But there was a lighter side to early punk in Bands like Blondie and Richard Hell & the Voidoids. New wave is a term that was used by the press later on to describe the lighter side of this movement in music. this is sits some where in between. Imho

[14Mcini]

isnt this like fucked up ?

[hyperdog67]

I wrote this song!

[earlajune]

wait he died too?

too many people who die!

[littlewolf60]

This guy is the greatest ! RIP Jim.

[tiredofyou83]

R.I.P LIL BROTHER now you can fly every second

[SackToucher]

It is the most beautiful compilation of tragic events that ever was and ever will be.

[kellyannexoxo]

I know this song from Tuff Turf and Dawn of the Dead. I'm a country girl myself but I really like this song!(:

[StudebakerBronson]

What genre of music is this? I LOVE it!!

[insane0143]

@StudebakerBronson It's called New Wave

[etniies99]

know this of dawn of the dead!

[forgetthepope]

Klimaexperte@ its a song about being a teenager and having your friends die. no morale in this one, just young death.

[nathen821]

I was in rehab when he died, so I thought he was still alive until last thursday, when I found out he died I said "God Dammit! All of my favorite poets are dead now."

[wex4sex]

this guy was like versatile he was a musician, a writer and he made a movie hes like great!

[Klimaexperte]

Maybe thats a stupid question...but does anyone have an idea WHY he writes a song about this topic?! and where is the morale?

ask for answers !

nethertheless it's a fucking great song.

[TheTrainRex]

@Klimaexperte All the people he wrote about in the song were real people that he knew who actually died like they did in the song.

[scrapkillax2]

I'm not really a fan of this genre but this song has made me feel otherwise, it's fooking awesome.

[meggiemegmeimei]

the world certainly needs more people like this- like jimmy.

[jahluva79]

to all our friends

[TheWendyHour]

Exquisite

[birdhaldol]

Jim Carroll is attracting good teenagers into being corrupt like him. I have him on tape masterbating to the show "LazyTown" on Nick Jr when Stephanie and Robbie Rotten have a scene together. I traded the tape to God for the right to visit Hell and use the con-man Jim Carrol as a punching bag. Quick Negros easily keep him from scoring by attacking the rim. they TAKE THE BALL from him.

[GHTnl]

@birdhaldol

Do you really think it is up to you make Mr. Jim Carroll suffer more in hell than God, in His infinate wisdom, has already decided?

[birdhaldol]

@GHTnl I just wish he had not glamorized cough syrup with codiene in it. My cough syrup w/codiene always has not-announced on the bottle LSD in it.

[MexicanShiznit510]

@birdhaldol wtf is wrong wichu?? where da hell would u get ALL THIS INFO???

[birdhaldol]

@MexicanShiznit510 First you have to read his book AND DOUBT HE IS COMPLETELY TELLING THE TRUTH. He came to Real de Catorce several years ago to take peyote and decided to stay. "I do believe there will be several problems with conserving peyote if we don't act," Medellin says of Carrol's intent to stay "un-alive" there.

[sanitysevered]

Lost my best pal last year, he loved this song, suicides fucked up! And Jim know youre up there smiling prolly hanging out with my pal, shoot some of that heavanly with him, and we'll all be down here blasting your favs....Cricket (70-09) rip homey!

[AntacidForTheMind]

Thanks for one of my favorite songs, Jim. Why did you have to die?

[FlipReaper1986]

Awesome song. :D

[clink09]

RIP marcus, tyson, joe, justin, jayden, lisa, dave, mike, richard, anthony, dawn, i miss you all. its only been a year since the crash but im still holding up. i made the varsity basketball team mike.. i hope your proud of me.

[baby8dingo]

RIP Burgie, you liked this song but you died. Even Jim died. And all my other mates who died. So i will die.. RIP me for later :)

[exco182]

im pepeple 666 who like this stupid fuking great song!!!!

jim you are the best =D

[timjessa1]

book was way better than the movie, they took too many libertys with jims story. but what the hell, it got his name out to the squares who never heard his awesome poems and songs. .sometime the ends justify the means....

[ddillybar1]

@timjessa1 the book is almost always better, although the movie can sometimes be really freaking great also. That seems to be the case here.

[IvanMesniaa]

Today is the day Johnny(John) took 23 E and drank himself til he died.

I miss you and wish you hadn't died, died.

[skyehoyt1971]

now I CAN DIE!!! D.I.E,

[sanjurodog]

@skyehoyt1971 ..but, I'd miss you if you died. Please don't die. [see below]

[razrzjee]

RIP Jim Carroll..

[RomaVictor73]

[alternativetomain]

[jiqqi]

[andrew182matches]

[susanwallace82]

Jim Carroll died?! I did not know that ,just thought this was great song-of course,I saw

sorry -I guess when you write a song like this you must know you will eventually have

this in your Obituary=The guy that wrote People Who Died Just Died.R.I.P.

[limalu]

"bobby had leukemia, 14 years old
