James Dennis "Jim" Carroll (August 1, 1949 – September 11, 2009) was an American author, poet, autobiographer, and punk musician. Carroll was best known for his 1978 autobiographical work The Basketball Diaries, which inspired the 1995 film of the same name, starring Leonardo DiCaprio as Carroll.
Carroll was born to a working-class family of Irish descent, and grew up on New York City's Lower East Side. When he was about 11 (in the sixth grade) his family moved north to Inwood in Upper Manhattan where he attended Good Shepherd School. He was taught by the LaSalle Christian Brothers, and his brother in the sixth grade noted that he could write and encouraged him to do so. In fall 1963, he entered public school, but was soon awarded a scholarship to the elite Trinity School. He attended Trinity from 1964–1968.
He briefly attended Wagner College and Columbia University.
Carroll identified Rainer Maria Rilke, Frank O'Hara, John Ashbery, James Schuyler,Allen Ginsberg, and William S. Burroughs as influences on his artistic career.
James Samuel Carroll (born May 6, 1943 in Jonesboro, Arkansas) is a former American football linebacker in the National Football League for the New York Giants, the Washington Redskins, and the New York Jets. He played college football at the University of Notre Dame and was drafted in the twelfth round of the 1965 NFL Draft.
Jim Carroll (born Tipperary in 1968) is an Irish music journalist, blogger and editor who is currently employed by The Irish Times. He runs a blog titled "On the Record" for the newspaper.
Carroll is a co-founder of the Choice Music Prize, an annual music award given to one Irish album from ten nominations. He also has a radio programme on Dublin's Phantom FM. In 1997 he founded the internet music magazine Muse.
Carroll uses his "On the Record" blog to air his views. In October 2006, Irish Independent journalist Anne-Marie Walsh reported that his views on the Humanzi album as "the most expensive and embarrassing flop of 2006" contrasted greatly with NME's report that the band were "the biggest new act in the country " and that their success "has stopped Dublin in its tracks". His views have also been mentioned by the BBC.
In 2005, the Irish Examiner included Carroll on a list of "those who called the tune in Irish music" that year, saying his column "remains one of the most influential on music".

Plot: Film adaptation of street tough Jim Carroll's epistle about his kaleidoscopic free fall into the harrowing world of drug addiction. As a member of a seemingly unbeatable high school basketball squad, Jim's life centers around the basketball court and the court becomes a metaphor for the world in his mind. A best friend who is dying of leukemia, a coach ("Swifty") who takes unacceptable liberties with the boys on his team, teenage sexual angst, and an unhealthy appetite for heroin -- all of these begin to encroach on young Jim's dream of becoming a basketball star. Soon, the dark streets of New York become a refuge from his mother's mounting concern for her son. He can't go home and his only escape from the reality of the streets is heroin for which he steals, robs and prostitutes himself. Only with the help of Reggie, an older neighborhood friend with whom Jim "picked up a game" now and then, is he able to begin the long journey back to sanity.

Your uncle's scandals shook the house of lords
Your daddy's squeezed out as Chairman of the Board
No more doctors write you no more 'scripts
No more intercontinental trips
No more luxuries
No more luxuries
No more crystal pistols up your nose
The dry cleaner wants money on the clothes
The Rolls Royce, my dear . . . need it be said?
If I were you I would think "Mo-Ped"
Refrain:
No more luxury . . .
No more luxuries
And all you are left with is me
Left with me
Left with me
No more luxuries
You gotta do it in a whole new way
But I'm gonna make a vow to stay
We gotta eat it off the floor a while
You don't even have a phone to dial
Do it in a whole new way,
Honey, that's the price we pay
Your necklaces have turned to centipedes
They slowly crawled away . . .
And the bar is empty and there ain't no waiter
The ice all melts in the refrigerator
The dead meat drips
On the asparagus tips
There's no more luxuries
You're left with me
No more, no more
There's no more luxuries
That article on you in Interview
It was dropped for a feature on Monaco's Zoo
Calvin called, he wants his hand-made vest
And it's snip snip to your American Express
No more luxuries
No more luxuries
And all you are left with is me
Just me, mon cheri
No more lunching out at "21"
What you get now comes inside a bun
"C'est la vie," the color TV
That's gone too, but I'll stay with you
