He reportedly died Friday of a heart attack. He was 59 or 60 depending on what media outlet you trust. News of his death has just been reported in the last few hours.

This is heartbreaking. Dry Dreams was my soundtrack for so many years. RIP Jim, you were loved.

I heard via your tweet yesterday.

My heart is broken. Basketball Diaries, the book, not the shite movie, was inspirational. To my writing and too my drug use. A mixed blessing, but then, aren't they all? My heart is truly broken.

Thanks for the comment, Dirtygirl. This is a tough one.

Dunno if you saw this interview with him from 1987...
