## Article Content
Please note -- I am not Jim Carroll, author, poet, rocker singer -- the fellow best known as author of The Basketball Diaries . That's him on the right...... and if you are looking for him, try his Web site here . I do own many of his albums, have seen the movie, and have read many of his books -- and yes, I'm a fan. Jim does a lot of spoken word on campuses today. He tells a powerful story concerning his upbringing, drugs, and the challenges of addiction. He's a good person, and has a huge number of worldwide fans. I hope to meet him one day.
