Having spent the whole weekend buried in work, I missed the news but less than a couple of weeks ago I finaly got a chance to see the (not really faithful) movie taken from the Basketball Diaries book. That set me up on memory lane big time: I remember stumbling on a copy of the book at my library when I was fourteen and getting blown away while reading it with the fact that he managed to do so much (both good and bad) at such an early age...

After the hype of the film faded I was still happily reading his work and enjoying the fact he'd do readings and the like well into an age he probably never thought he'd see. The liner notes for The Best Of collection of his music is worth reading and checking out, has a lot of nice little bits of info. My favorite pic of him remains the one with Patti Smith. Rest in Peace. Think I'll go listen to "No More Luxuries" a couple of times...
