Jim Carroll, author of The Basketball Diaries and quasi-punk rock Bob Dylan (sort of), passed away this weekend. Even though I outgrew him, Jim Carroll was one of the writers who turned me on to poetry in late high school. Ill always thank him for that.

According to a suggestion by attorney Mark Geragos, David Carradine didn't die whilst masturbating – he was killed by an ancient sect of Kung-Fu assassins he was secretly trying to infiltrate. You have to love a mysterious death where the two most likely explanations are autoerotic asphyxiation or ninjas.
