I was sitting in a garage in Bolinas when Jim walked up and asked if he could read a poem while we played. We did not like him. His very first poem that day was Catholic Boy, and the Jim Carroll Band was born. I was with Jim that first night at the Mabuhay when he pulled it off, and a star was born. Jim, I miss you more than all the others, and I salute you brother! BRAD from BOLINAS. :)
Great story. For decades I though his band was a bunch of hard core New Yorkers... then I found out he lived in Bolinas and the band came from there. KILLER BAND. As they say in Hollywood "God made it click." Once when I was a young kid, I hitchhiked through that area. Ended up at a band/dance/party in Bolinas, seemed like EVERYONE in town was there. Nobody in Sacto had any weed at all, Nixon had closed off the border. But they had it in Bolinas. Lovely experience. Lovely times in some ways. Had a very good friend who tended bar at Mabuhay, Allen Murdock was his name. Very good friend of mine... he died.
Jim Carrol was one of the most underrated artists of the time and I hope in the centuries to come people and aliens can get up and dance to his art... I feel sad because I never knew Jim passed away:{ He was the real deal... One more friend...that died...
I didn't know Jim had passed away either until I came across this video.As far as I knew these last ten years he was alive as a poet and songwriter and as someone who's story about their own addiction helped make me realize I needed to get off of heroin myself if I ever planned on being alive again.I can now announce that I'm happily sober for almost five years and successfully living one day at a time......Thank you Jim Carroll,may you rest in peace and always be remembered well and in the light of the bright sunshine............
+lasquaw666 Good luck in your detox. stay strong and don't rush the detox. Take as much time as you need and you will succeed. I 've been on Methadone for 40 years and I am trying to detox again. Now that they have computerized dispensing, the clinic can detox me one milligram at a time. It will take two years to detox, but I hope to avoid all the suffering I experienced every other time I tried the old 10 mg at a time method.
I do I'm last one alive in my family dad gone brother gone mom gone sister s both gone one sister had 4 kids they are gone 2 I do know what you mean I'm not gona even get into friends but its the way of the world you must be greatful to have more time then those that don't have the time to put things right b4 they are cut short of time and make it right with little time you have left
Catholic Boy came out when I worked at Tower. All the hip people couldn't believe how great and iconic it was. Core rock. One of the greats. All Jim needed was one album to be up there in Rock heaven.

Clearly you've never met her; she's an arrogant, semi-talented sociopath; I met her at Liss Ard in West Cork in 1998; the most unpleasant performer I've ever encountered; she has no respect for her band, who were good people, or herself. She walked around with a hostile affect; maybe you have to do that when you're pretending to be a punk, but I'll never forget that ignorant bitch.
too many OD's before 20 years old, then the best guys died of HIV, a good 10byears without having some sorrow then my husband and Tim suddenly released.......and Michael got smashed in a car.....and i can't stop thinking of these.....threee///......starrsa
Perhaps you should loosen that tie lumpy... This song is considered GREAT by Jim Carrol's PEERS and most other folks...what will they write about your art when you die?
I love the original , but unfortunately this version is pretty bad . If you want to hear great covers of this track then go listen to the version done by the band Gwar or Hollywood vampire's
Why do people think Patti Smith was relevant? She had a damn good remake of a Springsteen song and a Saturday Night Live appearance iconic for being hated..... ?????
You obviously are not an fan of poetry or punk.You can't believe people "think" Patti Smith was relevant?PATTI SMITH was and STILL IS FAR BEYOND RELEVANT!!!!!!!!!However,you are entitled to your opinion,even if it sucks.

...one of my favorite songs from the early '80s -- what a way to remember its author who, himself, passed away too young!
Catholic Boy came out when I worked at Tower. All the hip people couldn't believe how great and iconic it was. Core rock. One of the greats. All Jim needed was one album to be up there in Rock heaven.
I would kill to work in a record store. That is all.
And Jim loved a good jew too doren garcia. That´s especially important, isn´t it? I mean for a Catholic boy.
@@pauldailey4477 doesn't make sense
Why wouldn't he?

2024-----Terrific song of the times.....Hits home every time! Amen!!!
It's a great song!!!!!
The most beautiful of poets. RIP, Jim. (2009/09/11)
Beautiful version Patti , Dan Green
I played the Catholic Boy album constantly when I was 10 years old. Incredible
My Mom passed in October 2012. WE MISS YOU DOWN HERE, MOM!!!
this is one of the all time best rock songs in my book
Lou Reed es rl mejor
I loved Jim Carrol and I LOVE this song ever since it came out 🙂
I can't believe I'd never heard this until about a month ago, I guess it proves if you can remember the 80's you weren't there.
I saw him at the mabuhay gardens I went out with him once
He was very special, miss him
Beautiful!
Ty Patti for the Jim Honor!

They died... but we're ALIVE!
Testify.
SHE S THE ONE!!!!!!
Jim died, died on 9/11
I love that woman
Clearly you've never met her; she's an arrogant, semi-talented sociopath; I met her at Liss Ard in West Cork in 1998; the most unpleasant performer I've ever encountered; she has no respect for her band, who were good people, or herself.

The Beastie Boys should have covered this song.

pretty good
So, why couldn't Patti sing this?
That one guitarist looks like Larry Hankin, the crazy actor, LOL.
Marty, Bob, George, Pam...
This would be way cooler if Patti actually sang the entire song but cool she did pay homage
I like the part when Patti Smith shuts up.
Lmao....I had no idea she was so fucking annoying..
Patti is "Crow" in the song "Crow" by Jim

Agree totaly🙄🧐

Patti Smith at the Paramount, Portland, Ore., 1978 (?). One of the greatest shows ever. But this is silly. She's now silly.
+N. Carter Wood Why?! That was a tribute to her friend. Her friend who made the song that she is singing in honor of him.
Great sentiments, great singer, great band - but the song is terrible!
Denis MacEoin I think the Jim Carroll version is better as a "listen to this one first" version
Horrible

I hate to say it but I agree. Over-wrought crap. Original was genius.
@@cavendishlung-sukki1082 Well, they're trying to do something here.
Yes, the original is was (is) genius.
What did you do, since?
