Pretty good. Checkin in. Agreed @noobpowner901...Rimbaud my hero. Do the funky chicken all over my empty Parisian grave. Don't believe everything you hear or read. Not even what you see. The hand is quicker than the eye. Then create something new w/ your mind. TLK
I like jim morrison to a certain extend but his poetry really is god awful it was more about getting women than it was about writing good works, was he a poet? yeah. but his poetry won't be remembered in the next 50 to 100 years but this music will
The thing that makes Jim special is that some people think he was a genius while other people think he was a madmen. I think he was both. which is positive.
@pashedmotatos I disagree man, He was a poet before a rockstar. In fact, he hated being known as a rock singer. His real vision was to be a poet. He was an amazing showman and a genius. Musically I'd say that Ray was the glue holding everything together; but if it wasn't for Jim; The Doors wouldn't have been famous.
@nosdog136 read Walt Whitman, Wordsworth, Mirza Ghalib ,Jelaluddin Rumi even L. Cohen and then tell me Jimbo was a poet. He was a rock lyricist and a front man for a very hot live band .
His 'poetry ' on "American prayer" is often laughable. I still dig the doors and am looking for a copy of full circle and other voices b/c I like the music more than the words.
@taariqtaariq Literary snobs like you are disgusting... You think you know shit because you read Whitman, Wordsworth, and Cohen? Bravo, why don't you go spit out some more generic names. As for Jim Morrison, he was a rock lyricist verging on poetic, yes they are different mediums but you must understand poetry is words. Poetry is song. Get off your high horse and stop trying to make yourself feel better.
@Macknsteez I don't think he was as good as Blake but I certainly think he was better than Rimbaud. Rimbaud is just such a legend and his hallucinatory depictions were unlike anything else the world had ever seen. It's like saying Jimi Hendrix was a better guitarist than Stevie Ray Vaughan; stevie was just as good but Jimi came first and was the innovator and influence of stevie's playing
@noobpowner901 I respect that you have such an interest in poetry, but by your statements I feel like you have never read A Season in Hell?!! If you have, it would be clear how Morrison is literally nowhere near Rimbaud status, in fact no one since Rimbaud has been anywhere close to broaching the energy and passion the way Rimbaud does. Morrison was the greatest lyricist and vocalist of all time, but Rimbaud is on a whole 'nother level. PS SRV in my opinion kinda sucks, so ya...
maybe you didnt understand??^^he sometimes deals with totally different topics......but if you listened to "the severed garden" and you say he was no poet, then you are the one who knows nothing about it.......and dont you think its strange to say.....the way a writes is poetry, the person b writes isnt???
I didn't care when i found out the literary world dislikes Bukowski and i don't care when i realise simple minded people such as yourself dislike Jim Morrison.
@pashedmotatos All due respect to Robby and the rest of the band, I doubt they would have been anything were it not for Jim. I believe that Jim was the intellectual core of the band. He gave The Doors their image and their power. That is talent. And just so you know, every intellectual, every musician, every poet is a poser. Poerty is not above music. It is attractive to the senses, to the aesthetic. It is no more nursing to the intellect than music.
Why did he have to be taken so soon? I mean damn, who hasn't snorted a little blow and gotten laid? Such great music, such a god. Thumbs up if you agree.
@SgtPepper96034 " Where's the guy with the penis!?" He's at the lake man.
Ride the snake, ride the snake. To the lake, the ancient lake, baby. The snake is long, seven miles. Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold...Jim Morrison
God! Why does everyone think they know what went on in jim's life. You only know what you have read. So why dont you let the guy rest in peace, and just enjoy the music.
@MarthaCobo He wasn't a junkie. In fact, he had an aversion to needles. Heroin was the one drug that he didn't get into to. Now his girlfriend, Pam, was a junkie. And ironically, it has been speculated that he may have od' on Pam's heroin, in the form of powder, which led to his death when he tried it in Paris, mistaking it for cocaine. He did enjoy coke, too. Of course, this is just one theory. And no one really knows for sure. The death certificate just said heart failure, w/o an autopsy.

Please check out my vocal cover in the video response. I work hard on all my doors covers that i have and would love ur feedback. I promise u that u wont be dissapointed!
@Kuqulkan how is it obvious that he wasnt on acid all the time?? Were you there? Did you hang out with him?? im just curious how you're so sure. Im not agreeing or disagreeing.
@mbphofan I tend to agree with the idea that he wasn't constantly stoned out on acid or peyote. Both are drugs you build a tolerence to pretty quickly. They also have very specific side effects. Sweating profusly and unstoppable laughter are the 2 I am most personally familar with. Peyote also tends to give you the pukes. Jim usually just looks drunk in these old videos. I have no personal experience gained by hanging out with him. In the end it was heroin that got him by all reputable accounts.
@voodootex2u but you know what? having such a high iq, and the personality he had, he was able to handle hallucinogens and function just fine. You should check out his biography (if u havent already) it makes for some amazing reading. And im sure youve seen his biopic?? And one more thing...it was never proven that he died from heroin. He died from a heart attack
@voodootex2u It's not conclusive whether he died from Heroin, if he did it was because he snorted while already incredibly intoxicated, leading to a cardia arrest. Plus he hated needles so it's unlikely that he died or was addicted to heroin.
@douchecock427 im sure he did acid quite often, among other hallucinogens like psylocibin, DMT, mescaline etc...but peyote along with booze were what he was using for the most part. And yes he was on it alllll the time. The entire band would do peyote and then write music in the desert. Peyote also remains active (half life) up to 3 days
@mbphofan The band did not go out into the desert and write music, that's just wildly over exaggerated in the movie, plus if you've ever seen any documentaries, the band excluding Morrison realized acid would not lead to enlightenment, however Morrison just continued to booze it up.
@Macknsteez before you start telling me whats false and whats accurate....read his biography. i know you have not read it because you wouldnt argue my statement if you had. Morrison was obsessed with the desert, with snakes and indians because of what he saw as a kid. The rest of his family says theyy remember nothing about an accident and dead indians. I never said once that acid leads to enlightenment, but mescaline and peyote do. And yes, having a higher IQ leads to better funcionality
@mbphofan It's clear you've read his biographies, but you've failed to read my comment. I said the entire band did not go out into the desert and write music, I never said he did not have a fascination with the desert, and did not venture out their while tripping. And no, intelligence has nothing to do with being able to function. However, biographies on him and others tend to exaggerate the myth of him, and to have discussion based on his personal life that you have memorized is pathetic.
@Macknsteez why are you still talking? ?? u dont know me, stop talking to me, ur a loser bro. i bet ur day job is driving around in an old cargo van with cardboard windows, holding a bag of candy out the window in a school zone, u fucking weirdo you
@mbphofan That may have been the worst retort I've ever seen... you went from speaking somewhat intelligently to just a random jumble of incoherent insults. And my current "day job" has been swimming on the beach as all 15 years should be... A little embarrassing that you can't compete intellectually with a teenager huh?
I think it's interesting that The Doors actually got to play a song--on nationwide TV--that wasn't one of their hits. It was the B-side of "Touch Me" and was also on "The Soft Parade" LP. I've always liked this song. It's weird, but it's cool.
I noticed they didn't put him on the revolving part of the set.. Hes proably got a hard enough time standing up on the still stage.. lol, I love me some jim morrison.. Greatist Rocker of all time
One of Jim's heroes was an 19th century explorer-gun runner who supposedly just disappeared one day in Africa after getting fed up with "The Lifestyle". This could be related to the song.
what does he mean when he says remember when we were in Africa? maybe he had a weird trip while doing drugs over there, he was tripping, he's got some unfoggetable experience, who knows what uh!
The laugh was pure Jim. He always admired Sinatra and apparently was self conscious of his singing voice, if you can believe it. One of a kind. I've been a Doors fan since I was 10, and I'm 45 now. We cover them in my band, and I enjoy playing them more than any other band.

do believe the rest of the band had to really work to keep him going.
But I think all of them were onstage sometimes high on acid. Love them.

@douchecock427 im sure he did acid quite often, among other hallucinogens like psylocibin, DMT, mescaline etc...but peyote along with booze were what he was using for the most part. And yes he was on it alllll the time. The entire band would do peyote and then write music in the desert. Peyote also remains active (half life) up to 3 days

@mbphofan The band did not go out into the desert and write music, that's just wildly over exaggerated in the movie, plus if you've ever seen any documentaries, the band excluding Morrison realized acid would not lead to enlightenment, however Morrison just continued to booze it up.

@Macknsteez before you start telling me whats false and whats accurate....read his biography. i know you have not read it because you wouldnt argue my statement if you had. Morrison was obsessed with the desert, with snakes and indians because of what he saw as a kid. The rest of his family says theyy remember nothing about an accident and dead indians. I never said once that acid leads to enlightenment, but mescaline and peyote do. And yes, having a higher IQ leads to better funcionality

@mbphofan It's clear you've read his biographies, but you've failed to read my comment. I said the entire band did not go out into the desert and write music, I never said he did not have a fascination with the desert, and did not venture out their while tripping. And no, intelligence has nothing to do with being able to function. However, biographies on him and others tend to exaggerate the myth of him, and to have discussion based on his personal life that you have memorized is pathetic.

@mbphofan That may have been the worst retort I've ever seen... you went from speaking somewhat intelligently to just a random jumble of incoherent insults. And my current "day job" has been swimming on the beach as all 15 years should be... A little embarrassing that you can't compete intellectually with a teenager huh?

I think it's interesting that The Doors actually got to play a song--on nationwide TV--that wasn't one of their hits. It was the B-side of "Touch Me" and was also on "The Soft Parade" LP. I've always liked this song. It's weird, but it's cool.

One of Jim's heroes was an 19th century explorer-gun runner who supposedly just disappeared one day in Africa after getting fed up with "The Lifestyle". This could be related to the song.

Odd, I just noticed he looks very young in this video, more so than in "Touch Me," done on the same show. To me, Jim always looked older than he was.

what does he mean when he says remember when we were in Africa? maybe he had a weird trip while doing drugs over there, he was tripping, he's got some unfoggetable experience, who knows what uh!

He was just awesome.
The laugh was pure Jim. He always admired Sinatra and apparently was self conscious of his singing voice, if you can believe it. One of a kind. I've been a Doors fan since I was 10, and I'm 45 now. We cover them in my band, and I enjoy playing them more than any other band.
