RIP Jim Carroll

[stringtheory]

I know, I know, Jim wasn't primarily a musician. But, he wrote a few great songs as "The Jim Carrol Band" and IMHO the world is at a loss with him passing on.

RIP Jim.

loved that book and that song - played it many times. We used to play this bar/restaurant that was owned by this Greek guy. He didn't know anything about music, but he loved that song. We'd play it and his eyes would light up and he'd go crazy for it.
