Obit watch: Jim Carroll, author (The Basketball Diaries) and musician.
I’m not really wild about embedding the YouTube videos, so here’s a link to Catholic Boy on Amazon. When I get a chance, I’m going to put on the headphones and crank “People Who Died” all the way up.
Edited to add: Here’s a link to the NYT obit for Norman Borlaug as well. I didn’t note this over the weekend, even though I’m part of the Borlaug Fan Club, because it seemed to be well covered by FARK and the mainstream media.
