This is heartbreaking. Dry Dreams was my soundtrack for so many years. RIP Jim, you were loved.
ReplyDeleteI was just listening to him yesterday while taking a drive...this is horrible news to start out a Monday morning...
ReplyDeleteI heard via your tweet yesterday.
ReplyDeleteMy 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.
ReplyDeleteDunno if you saw this interview with him from 1987...
