    No radio station ever played this, not where I grew up. It wasn't that kind of song. But one night in 1983 when I was 13 I heard it on The Dr. Demento Show and it made a huge impact in my mind. But I never heard it again. The years went by and I began to think I'd actually imagined the song, maybe I was the only one who'd heard it, maybe it never really existed.
    Thank God for movie that revived this song, and thank everyone for internet and RUclips. This is an amazing, true punk song.

    I remember hearing this song on the radio shortly after its release. It was incredibly shocking, this upbeat tune with a hook that won't let go, and then you realized what the lyrics were, because you had only your ears and your friends, no lyrics or movie or video. Yes, people talked about it. We were simply stunned. And we knew it wasn't the Ramones. We didn't know who Jim Carroll was yet, but we did know he'd written a brutal song, and wondered what life must be like for him.

    And now Nate a'int ever comin' back
    Cogsy Cogs blew out his own brain
    and my life hasn't ever been the same
    Frick's a guy who took his own life too
    And man I thought that really blew
    Brian caught cancer of the bones
    Now the cemetery is his home
    Those are people who died, died
    They were all friends of mine
    And they died!

Good performances by the actors and a realistic reflection of the mean streets but while I was impressed by the dark entertainment value I would have liked a glimpse into the structures of the heart that grips us so hard we become addicted, unaware we are designing our own destruction. I'm grateful that Jim Carroll left us this powerful message before going on to his next gig.

    A mixture of fear, sadness and grief listening to this song, when it comes to death, even after my father died in 2009 I still don't understand it, I don't know what happens after you die, even though I mostly follow the whole Christianity thing, I still don't know how much of it is true and how much is BS.. No one who has died has ever come back and if they did there is no 100% proof of what happened, where they went, or what they saw.

      MRXBOX n VAN BC well we could make it easier by doing just what you said there. Just try to find anything that can make us happy and try to focus on those things, just try to stay away from negativity best we can and kind of take the attitude when something bad happens.. "Aww well you know at least I am alive, have a roof over my head, food in my belly, and.. bleh bleh etc etc.." it's hard to stay on your cloud, but I think if we kind of intentionally direct ourselves to try to find any little bit of happiness we can and good that we can in any situation, we might just make it you know?.. Maybe..
