JC died 2 days prior, sept 11. he wrote one half decent book, a modest collection of poetry, and one good song "people who died". had he not lived w patti smith he would have been just another punk on the street, a complete unknown. he had soul and spirit and talent, but he also had a major drug problem that stuck to him like a ball & chain. he was dragging his coffin around since the day he was born. he could have been somebody.
