Gone way too soon.
Check out my friend & former colleague Mackenzie's eulogy to the great man. I was lucky enough to see Jim Carroll perform spoken word shows at The Bottom Line a few times, and it was always mesmerizing. I was too young to ever get to see the Jim Carroll Band perform, unfortunately, but I did once encounter Jim sitting on an East Village stoop eating a bologna sandwich back sometime in the late 80's. He was gracious and accommodating and tolerated my starstruck gobsmackedness, but ultimately just wanted to eat his sandwich. He is, was & e'er shall be one of the coolest gents ever. Respect.
