And thank you so much for not succumbing to the "People Who Died" 'Punline' Blogfrenzy.

R.I.P. Jim Carroll
Back in the mid-1990s, my band played for the first time at the Bumbershoot Festival in Seattle. We were playing a stage far too big for us -- long and sparse, ill-lit, hollow-sounding and very much unclaimed. We tried to spread ourselves out among the blank canvas of it all, but we felt tiny, and our songs spewed forth into the ether, misshapen.
Jim Carroll was on the same bill as us. He was tall and lithe, with a ghostly, otherworldly mien. Carroll was reading poems with no back-up band, no team, no amp to crank to up to 10. But he didn't have any problems covering the stage, reaching the corners and permeating the room. Carroll died Friday at age 60, but here's a moment to remember him by:

why do you think ap of all people (? organizations) pulled their own video. they never do that.
do you think they're subtly showing drunken solidarity with Kenya and BeyonCE and Hennesy over the Taylor Swift slight-by-proxy, in some sort of corporate conspiracy cabal. Whatever the case may be, your post just doesn't breathe without it, so i'm currently going to my Dailymotion or YouTube http://www.youtube.com/nichopoulouzo channel to fetch you the URL for one of the ones which I have uploaded and disguised by title as a cooking show, so you may reinstate the authority which your piece deserves.
and really, it's okay to tune into bad award shows every once in while. it shows others that you're capable of empathy for their bad taste.
and that haircut you saw happens to be an Emogene. it was all the rage back in the 07s but has since been confined to 'played out' status for mo-suck-ups. I've been told that it is responsible for anywhere from five- to fifteen-extra-thousand illegal downloads per album in the Midwest alone.
