I wish I hadn't stumbled on this thread, but here goes.

Jim Carroll reminds me of that famous Monty Python toy - the 'naughty Humphrey - press him in the back and he vomits - breaks the ice at parties'.

I don't doubt Carroll's abilities as a collector, but he is a 'naughty Humphrey' for our times - press him in the back and admire the stream of invective which ensues. Give it a rest, Carroll.
