	Actually I'm pretty sure the speaking part was done by Artie from Pete and Pete. That man is awesome, and talented.

No Picture C.J. Wanna Be	#2 by C.J. Donnelly at May 19, 2006 at 7:03 AM EST

No Picture Emmanuel Average	#3 by Emmanuel Morales at Sep 12, 2006 at 12:33 PM EST
	Yeah, this is listed on Jim Carroll's website as one of his performances: http://www.catholicboy.com/catholicboy.com-asp/audio.asp It's remarkable how much Jim Carroll actually sounds like the guys that sing for Rancid, except clearer. I personally think the mix of Carroll's spoken word poetry with Rancid's distinctive punk music is absolutely brilliant! Regarding the accent, has anyone else noticed that the guys in Rancid are very good at doing voices? I mean, yes Tim has a slurry too-much-heroin voice, but he doesn't in every song. He clearly deliberately exaggerates the slur, particularly in this song. I wouldn't be surprised at all if he took a cockney (or similar) accent into account when he decided how to sing this song. And actually, I looked it up out of curiosity and it doesn't appear that any of the band members were ever junkies or heavily into drugs at all, though Tim was an alcoholic. I haven't found anything of the sort at all about the other band members. Yes, random personal websites say they did lots of drugs just like they say about every musician, but no reliable sources do. As far as I can figure out they're just really talented performers creating characters for their songs, their music is really alot smarter and more deliberate than it sounds upon casually listening.

No Picture A Lead Player	#4 by A J at Sep 15, 2006 at 11:58 PM EST

	Tim doesn't talk like he sings, sorry, he has a weird accent/speach pattern thing......but it has nothing to do with his being dyslexic................and the speaking part is done by JIM CARROLL sorry every thats who does it......its not any of the randoms you said it was it is 100% Jim Carroll I think he even has a websiteso if you don't belive me Im sure it is there..........Im right you are all wrong sorry..... this song rules by the way.

No Picture Taylor! At The Average	#6 by Taylor! At The Disco at Jan 24, 2007 at 10:22 AM EST

No Picture Timmibob Average	#7 by Timmibob The Great at Feb 27, 2007 at 9:44 PM EST
	TIM ISNT BRITISH SO WHY DOES HE SING LIKE THAT. Meh, I still like this band and song though, is it possibly about a junkie man? hahahaha

No Picture jon Wanna Be	#8 by jon jeffreys at Jun 8, 2007 at 6:09 PM EST
	Tim does the speaking part, but I don't know if its from anything. All it really sounds like to me is something someone on drugs would see or think up. Hence the song's title; Junky Man.
