Anyway, then I searched YouTube for a live version of Jim Carroll's "Catholic Boy," but couldn't find one, so we'll have to settle for this. R.I.P. Jim.......
inspirational verse; every lyric line of this song is truly great, but I hadda pick just one;
"I was a Catholic boy / Redeemed through pain, not through joy" - Jim Carroll, 1980
"I was a Catholic boy / Redeemed through pain, not through joy" - Jim Carroll, 1980
ps. By the way, for those of you scoring at home, "Catholic Boy" is also
the title track of one of the seven best rock & roll debut albums of all time.
(The other six; The Velvet Underground, The Modern Lovers, The New York Dolls,
the title track of one of the seven best rock & roll debut albums of all time.
(The other six; The Velvet Underground, The Modern Lovers, The New York Dolls,
Elliott Murphy, Lloyd Cole & The Commotions, and The Strokes.)
(And yeah, four of those six are from New York City, I do find that problematic.)
