He fought very hard. RIP.

Wow!!
That's too bad.

Now he can do a sequel to "Ghost", and he won't have to act.

"It's amazing Molly. The love inside, you take it with you. See ya."

Jim Carroll

NEW YORK (AP) — Jim Carroll, the poet and punk rocker who wrote "The Basketball Diaries," died Friday. He was 60.

He died from a heart attack at his home in Manhattan, his ex-wife Rosemary Carroll told The New York Times.

In the 1970s, Carroll was a fixture of the burgeoning downtown New York art scene, where he mixed with artists such as Andy Warhol, Patti Smith, Larry Rivers and Robert Mapplethorpe. His life was shaped by drug use, which he wrote about extensively.

Carroll also published several poetry collections, while his 1980 album, "Catholic Boy," has been hailed as a landmark punk record, and he became known for one of its songs, "People Who Died."

But it was "The Basketball Diaries," his autobiographical tale of life as a sports star at Trinity, an elite private high school in Manhattan, that brought him his widest audience.

The book, which began as a journal, was first published in 1978 and then became even more popular, particularly on college campuses, when it was issued as a mass-market paperback two years later. A 1995 movie version starred Leonardo DiCaprio.

His poetry career started even earlier. Carroll was in his teens when he first received recognition for his poems, especially "Organic Trains" in 1967 and then "4 Ups and 1 Down" in 1970. Among his other works are collections such as "The Book of Nods" (1986), "Fear of Dreaming" (1993) and "Void of course: Poems 1994-1997" (1998).

With Smith, who encouraged his music, he formed the Jim Carroll Band. Among his other albums were the less successful "Dry Dreams" (1982) and "I Write Your Name" (1984).

Patrick Swayze is awsome in "Roadhouse". That movie along with "Black Dog" are two of my all time favorite movies. "Red Dawn" & "Point Break" are two other good movies with him in them.

RIP Patrick

Outsiders is another classic with him in it.

That's too bad  The ole lady will be upset. She watches ghost 2-3 times a year and still cry over it  I think she watches road house even more.

[MoparManJim]

 


He will be upstairs doing more good movies  

Black Dog, Road House, Red Dawn, and Ghost was all good movies.
But Ghost is the only movie that can get me to brake down real fast though.

He was a good actor.  Many good movies, Roadhouse was one of my favs.  Anyone remember the movie the Outsiders?  How about Red Dawn?  RIP.

[Tilar]

I think Red Dawn was one of his first ones. Very good show. It's a shame he died so young and so fast.

[4cruzin]

[ODZKing]

The Beast was an awesome show.  Thought he might not mnake it back because it didn't get renewed for a second season.
God spped Patrick
