Jim Carroll, the punk rocker who spun engrossing tales of his crazy youth into “The Basketball Diaries,” died Friday in Manhattan, according to The New York Times. He was 60 and the cause of death was a heart attack.

His bit about getting picked up by the hunchback chick, and shooting up while she "gets into something more comfortable" is one of the classic hilarious bits in all literature.

I always loved that song to death. (no pun intended)
I love how they used it during the end credits of the Dawn of the Dead remake from 2004

Never heard of this guy. If Kanye was involved then maybe I'd have a clue.
