Jim Carroll Basketball Diaries
Just in time for the NBA Finals clash of titans that is Lakers vs Celtics, Jim Carroll Basketball Diaries is on TV again. If anyone hasn't seen it, they should. It's a great movie and probably the best individual performances in the careers of the writer, director, and actor.

1. Good movie. Filmed in part on site; i.e. Inwood/Riverdale.
De Caprio was taken seriously as an actor after "Diaries".

2. Jim Carroll Band
Was a pretty good "punk" rock band back in the early eighties. They released a really good self-titled album back then, I don't know if it's available on CD. Yes, same Jim Carroll.

3. "People who Died" by the Jim Carroll Band is one of the best...
punk songs ever. The whole "Catholic Boy" album is awesome.
