RIP JIM CARROL


What's up with everyone dying? And young?
For those who don't know...Jim Carroll, 60, a poet-turned-punk rocker whose book "The Basketball Diaries" chronicled his descent from elite high school basketball star to Times Square drug addict, thief and prostitute, died Sept. 11 at his home in Manhattan after a heart attack. Mr. Carroll's best-known work was an autobiographical account of his years from 12 to 15 when he received a basketball scholarship to Trinity, an elite Manhattan high school, and began abusing cocaine and other drugs. The journal, excerpted in the Paris Review, became highly popular on college campuses and was published as a book in 1978. A 1995 movie version starred Leonardo DiCaprio as Mr. Carroll." from the Washington Post

Grasshopper is dead...


David Carradine, star of TV series Kung Fu, Kill Bill, Death Race 2000, etc, etc was found dead of an apparent suicide in his hotel room in Bangkok where he was shooting a movie. Bummer. An investigation is to take place. His rep says that he would never take his own life. Sad.
