The Jim Carroll Band - People Who Died

[farone100]

one of the BEST SONGS EVER WRITTEN

[MishMash212121]

i got this from basketball diaries, epic movie:3<3

[MrMickthemonster]

@MishMash212121 Yes it was a very good movie based on the book which Jim wrote himself about his fucked up early start in life. Great movie but hard to watch at times!

[MishMash212121]

@MrMickthemonster i know, the part were his mother wouldnt let him in, tore me up inside

one of leo's best performances!

[MrMickthemonster]

@MishMash212121 I know right! leo is one of the greatest actors of all time. I remember a really sorta funny part as well when they were all smashed and they broke into the milk bar!

[gorillazrock21]

I got the from dawn of the dead, anyone else?

[MrMickthemonster]

@gorillazrock21 Darwin awards. I've seen Dawn of the dead a million times but I never heard the song on it. I must sound like a real asshole!

[sloucho84]

@MrMickthemonster It's the song over the closing credits, so it's very possible you didn't hear it or stoppe dpaying attention by the time it came on.

[coolbros1210]

I heard this song in Highschool It took 20 YRS but I found it TXS Youtube

[sapia67]

6 dead people clicked on this.

[bclionsroar]

[1234roadking1]

[Chadolution]

R.I.P. Jim Carroll (He was my friend and he died, died.) 

[OMFGILUVBOOBS]

i like the part where mac miller copied this song

[Niagru9]

I ment 20



[PainInTheAssKid97]

@Niagru9 Its 26 reds and a bottle of wine, not 20 cigarettes. 'Reds' refer to pills, meaning she took an overdose.

[Niagru9]

2 cigarettes and a bottle of wine

[fabianoftw]

''I miss you more than all the others''

[groovylocks]

Hi Maya, Nicole, Brian, Dave....

I miss 'em. They died.

[bowlchamp411]

dawn of the dead-remake

[rbleattler]

@bowlchamp411 if you're referring to the 2004 take on George Romero's 1978 film "Dawn of the Dead" This movie "The Basketball Diaries" was out 9 years before Dawn of the Dead, and based on what I know, this song was not in existence in 1978, nor was it present in the film.

[rbleattler]

@rbleattler Not to mention that this song was written by the writer (Jim Carroll) for the movie "The Basketball Diaries".

[bowlchamp411]

@rbleattler ya im referring to the 2004 remake which to my belief is the only remake of dawn of the dead and that this song is in the credits

[rbleattler]

@bowlchamp411 yea, it's not a remake though, the movie "The Basketball Diaries" was released in 1995, this song was written FOR that movie.

[bowlchamp411]

@rbleattler i know this song is in the basketball diares and yes dawn of the dead (2004) is a remake to the 1978 dawn of the dead

[fizzygillespie]

@rbleattler This song was not written FOR "The Basketball Diaries." This song was on the album "Catholic Boy" which was released in 1980. 15 years BEFORE the movie.

[rbleattler]

@fizzygillespie I apologize, it wasn't necessarily written FOR the movie, but the autobiography "The Basketball Diaries" was published in 1978, and that is what this song was about. Regardless I stand corrected.

[dave1391]

i dont know anyone who died

Jim came to Little Brothers in Columbus one night and told a very amusing story about pleasuring himself using his mothers pork roast meant for that evenings meal. I've never been able to look at a pork roast without laughing since. Everyone at Kroger thinks I'm insane.

[Gimmeshelter11]

I MISSED the news of his passing-saw his name in a Year Review of Famous people - who died. I did meet him few yrs ago, having been granted an interview. If I didn't have the tape and his empty cig box, it would seem like I dreamed it. What a wonderful, funny person to talk to. Devastating to hear 6 months later.

[thomas242007]

i heard he died this in the late part of 2009, what he die of??

[Gimmeshelter11]

hi-it was a heart attack-60 yrs old. It's been reported he was sitting @ his desk, writing. Not a surprise,huh? He was SO shy. It's 1 year tomorrow.

[thomas242007]

wrote till up to the point he died huh, guess he died doing what he loved to do, RIP JC

[thomas242007]

another question did they ever follow up as to what happened to his 2 running friends??

[gregreag]

man i can't believe he died, i wanted to meet him so bad

[GorillaInella]

@gregreag crap i didnt even realize it was only a couple of months ago

[gregreag]

@GorillaInella yea i don't know what he died from but at least he's in a better place

[GorillaInella]

i think it was a heart attack, plus he was doing drugs when he was younger. but yeah at least hes in a better place

[TheChainzaw]

[warftrat87]

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten

Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed

They were two more friends of mine

Two more friends that died

[warftrat87]

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room

Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs

Judy jumped in front of a subway train

Eddie got slit in the jugular vein

And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others

And I salute you brother

[warftrat87]

Herbie pushed Tony from the Boys' Club roof

Tony thought that his rage was just some goof

But Herbie sure gave Tony some bitchen proof

"Hey," Herbie said, "Tony, can you fly?"

But Tony couldn't fly, Tony died

[warftrat87]

Brian got busted on a narco rap

He beat the rap by rattin' on some bikers

He said, "Hey, I know it's dangerous, but it sure beats Riker's"

But the next day he got offed by the very same bikers

[warftrat87]

Teddy sniffing glue, he was 12 years old

Fell from the roof on East Two-nine

Cathy was 11 when she pulled the plug

On 26 reds and a bottle of wine

Bobby got leukemia, 14 years old

He looked like 65 when he died

He was a friend of mine

[warftrat87]

G-berg and Georgie let their gimmicks go rotten

So they died of hepatitis in upper Manhattan

Sly in Vietnam took a bullet in the head

Bobby OD'd on Drano on the night that he was wed

They were two more friends of mine

Two more friends that died

[warftrat87]

Mary took a dry dive from a hotel room

Bobby hung himself from a cell in the tombs

Judy jumped in front of a subway train

Eddie got slit in the jugular vein

And Eddie, I miss you more than all the others

And I salute you brother
