Jim Morrison

This morning I got the chance to watch Oliver Stone's biography of The Doors, undisputedly the best band of the late 60's... Jim Morrison, The Lizard King, is truly a class apart and befits his priviledge of being interred at the Poets' Corner in Paris. The man was a true team player who never wanted to have his name overshadow that of The Band. But thus is the way of prodigy and genius that even today when you us the name The Doors, the only thing that comes to mind is Jim... Everytime you hear a pice by The Doors, you wonder if this could have been made possible without the generous dose of psychedelic drugs the band, and Morrison in particular, used in copious amounts. My opinon - Hell No!!! How can you possibly write lyrics like those on Riders on the Storm, The End and Break on Through unless you are in between two worlds???? And a fitting tribute to Jim's greatness was the fact that the remaining members of the band Ray, John and Robby never added a new member to sing after the mysterious demise of James Douglas Morisson in 1971. No other band that I can think of has shown such dedication to its members ( well maybe Def Leppard when they waited for their drummer to learn to play with one hand) and no one can hope to do so too in the materialistic world that is today... Music for the sake of music is long dead and cannot hope for a resurrection. Of those here today?? Well I like Metallica, though they are commercial in every sense, Judas Priest, Iron Maiden, Megadeth etc. etc... They all make good music. I also love the sound of Rammstein... Music is a passion for me... though I cant play any instruments even if I'm peering down the barrel of a gun!!!! Can lsiten to most styles though am hooked to Heavy Metal and Western classical.... Have an iPod that has 15Gb of music n still greowing... Enuf ranting for now... C ya later...
