“People who died” – THE JIM CARROLL BAND

I just finished a small piece about the awesomeness that is The Basketball Diaries by Jim Carroll. It’s a short text that will appear in a basketball magazine called FIVE next month. Anyways, Carroll was a man of many talents who also released some great music and here’s one of his more well-known songs.

JIM CARROLL

“Author of numerous books of punk poetry and short stories, and occasional rock star, Jim Carroll was a junkie for many years before cleaning up his act and performing on a more regular basis. Between 1980 and 1984 he produced three albums with his descriptively named Jim Carroll Band, the highlight of whose output was by far the epic song “People Who Died” from the album Catholic Boy. From the mid-1980s on, Carroll concentrated primarily on his writing, and recorded more spoken-word pieces than music. The 1995 film The Basketball Diaries, starring Leonardo DiCaprio, was based on one of Carroll’s autobiographical books published in 1978. Along with Richard Hell and Tom Verlaine, Carroll brought a literary sensibility to punk and was able to use his druggy past to evocative effect in chronicling a life almost wasted, but in which a true poetic talent was somehow nurtured through an opiate haze.”

- Brian Cogan, The Encyclopedia of Punk, (2006)

Drammatico, Ratings: Kids+16, durata 102 min. - USA 1995 Il film si ispira al romanzo Jim entra nel campo di #basket di #JimCarroll sotto forma di diario romanzato. Kalvert cerca di sfruttare l'appeal del giovane DiCaprio per raccontare una storia di dissoluzione nel precipitare nel vortice della #droga. Trova nell'attore e nella Lewis due interpreti che danno di più di quanto la regia non sembri chiedere. #sunartmovies #sun_art_heart #cultmovies #cultmovie #movietime #movie #cinema #movies #영화 #hollywood #instamovie #filme #favorite #poster #films #believeinfilm
