Singer/guitarist Jim Carroll, poet and author of “The Basketball Diaries,”
discusses NBA lockout.

“I could care less,
you know. College basketball has started. I don’t really follow the pros. To me they are
only playing seriously during the playoffs anyway, you know. So maybe they should just
have the playoffs and get over it. There’s actually so many games where they’re just going
through the motions. … I’m sick of the whole thing. I really got to like baseball. Maybe
I want a slower pace and stuff, but I’m more interested in college basketball. I have been
for years.”
