Catholic Boy


1980/81
It was down it LA where J-nine, Helga and Patrick wanted to go see The Jim Carroll Band. It was after his release of "Catholic Boy". I was blown away buy it. There was maybe, 50 people there, we went outside and got to see him up close. He came out wraped in a towel, dripping with sweat.

Now is is dead at 60, a heart attack, given the use of all the drugs he could fathom.

I shall remember The Jim Carroll Band forever. It was sweet, I say, sweet!

Those are people who died, died.

That album holds up. I listened to it awhile back and it holds up. Really holds up. Like your blog, Dan!
