Jim Carroll’s spoken-word performances were what hooked me and started all this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember conversations I had with him trying to explain how absolutely mind blowing his spoken-word performances were for me, how powerful they were. Well, my arguments didn’t make a freakin’ dent, even over like 20 years. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jim didn’t want me to share my audio recordings of his performances. He was OK with me recording them, but, you know, I couldn’t share them. I didn’t. But now? I honestly don’t know what the situation is now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have always disagreed with him about this. I understand his worries as an individual performing in public. If I was in his position I would totally not want someone recording me and streaming it on the interwebs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I would like to share everything I think is important – and not in any way embarrassing or detrimental to Jim Carroll, the person and artist I adore and would never intentionally harm in any way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anyway . . . I have also realized my 1990s audio page leaves much to be desired. I created a new page to experiment with different ways to display audio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I will be adding all new audio to this new “experiment” page<\/a>. I hope you will check it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
