Next to William Burroughs, he’s probably the longest-lived longtime heroin addict I can think of.

He lived longer than I expected. I really like his stuff: the poetry and the music. I saw him give readings a few times in the 80’s too. Interesting fellow.

THAT’S the song...I thought he was the guy who did “88 lines about 44 women”.

micro-hijack ... Burroughs also wrote the best book of the counter-culture era, “Naked Lunch”.
Jim Carroll, God rest your troubled soul.

I saw him and band twice in New Jersey. His first album is a bona fide gem. Everyone knows his , “People Who Died” but songs like “Wicked Gravity,” “Day and Night,” “I Want the Angel” are better.
I thought he had kicked he habit, I guessed wrong.
R.I.P.

If you use sterile technique, a 5 micron filter needle, and have some idea of the potency of the junk you can use it indefinitely with only constipation as the primary adverse consequence.
The head of neurosurgery for a leading university hospital was one for over 30 years. He had the benefit of a quality-controlled source.

That was The Nails.
The singer from that band is a frequent poster on a music forum elsewhere.

Keith Richards also made it past 60 (but IMO he gets an asterisk because of the blood transfusions). Chet Baker was another, I think.
