"it says it is a family business, there is no reason to believe he was not part of it" - Jim Carroll

Ah so his father divorcing his mother shortly after his birth, her remarrying and him moving with his mother out of the family home didn't register then Jim? Not as though he was at the centre of things was he?

He didn't have any money at all until he received his "cut" when his natural father died, but even then he had nothing to do with the family's construction business.

Still Jim never let facts get in the way of a good story, it has never stopped you in the past, it is only a great pity that there a few here on this forum who pull you up on your wilder flights of fancy.
