fuck jim morrison

Well, the people who defend him (as far as I've seen) are generally more obsessed with his modeling abilities and are completely obsessed with him--Unfortunately, I really don't give a rat's ass about that and I probably never will when it comes to music I want to actually hear/purchase.

So... whoever wants to can ride the damn snake all they want, but that's not going to get me to change my opinion.

Great thinker, pretty good singer, that's about it... he should have been up there on the stage with Twiggy.

Oh and let's not forget...Ani DiFranco, John Prine, etc. Hell... even Jack Johnson.

While digesting Reader's Digest
In the back of a dirty book store,
A plastic flag, with gum on the back,
Fell out on the floor.
Well, I picked it up and I ran outside
Slapped it on my window shield,
And if I could see old Betsy Ross
I'd tell her how good I feel.
​

Chorus:
But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
They're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
​

Well, I went to the bank this morning
And the cashier he said to me,
"If you join the Christmas club
We'll give you ten of them flags for free."
Well, I didn't mess around a bit
I took him up on what he said.
And I stuck them stickers all over my car
And one on my wife's forehead.
​

Repeat Chorus:
​

Well, I got my window shield so filled
With flags I couldn't see.
So, I ran the car upside a curb
And right into a tree.
By the time they got a doctor down
I was already dead.
And I'll never understand why the man
Standing in the Pearly Gates said...
​

"But your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more.
We're already overcrowded
From your dirty little war.
Now Jesus don't like killin'
No matter what the reason's for,
And your flag decal won't get you
Into Heaven any more."

If you want to insult someone, the least you can do is make it a complete sentence...

One percent of most people probably even met Jim Morrison--People really must face the fact that he is not the center of the universe.

 

I never looked at him as a model. I looked at him as a songwriter/singer.
Sure, his good looks are a bonus
I appreciate his music for the sake of the music. It's esoteric, so I don't expect to understand it all the time. I think for the period that it came out of, it's pretty good. I just wouldn't say that he's below average compared to today's artists. I think he outweighs the songwriters of 'Nsync and the Backstreet Boys anyday.

 

That was a decade ago and you're not looking at all your options from every angle.

You need to search for some new stuff. I'm listening to Warren Haynes right now.

 

??? Now you lost me.
You are equating me with the teeniebopper wannabe hippies that like Morrison because he's an emblem of the hippie movement. I AM up-to-date with my music. I just appreciate the classic rock/older music. Good for you listening to Warren Haynes.

I'm watching Jackie Brown.

 

I'm not a hippy. I have never called myself that nor will I ever... and to be honest, taste in music doesn't always have to do with subcultures.

I appreciate classic rock/older music, as well... To each their own, but I don't get the Jim Morrison thing at all. I never have.

I've seen the movies, read the books and poetry, listened to the music. I just continue to ask myself if I've missed something... or if I'm just a complete idiot.

But alot of people are like that with the Grateful Dead and all, so, like I said, to each their own.

 

haha

 

Hey the Dead are my Jim Morrison. I can't understand what the attraction is to them. I like Touch of Grey, but that's about it. I understand differences in music tastes - just don't make assumptions. You know what they say about when you 'assume'.

 

Touch of Grey is probably their worst song... imo, solely because it was the most famous and I didn't care for the reverb and 80s sound.

 

Why does the sunset in the west?
And why does my heart keep beating in my chest?
What ever happened to the Duke of Earl?
I got a PBS mind in a MTV world.
Is it ignorance or apathy
I forgot these lessons taught to me.
Some say life isn't fair,
Hey, I don't know, I don't care.

Ambivalent, well, yes and no.
Hey where did all the hippies go?
Our conversation sounds like actors' lines.
Is it time for your medication or mine?
Is it ignorance or apathy
I forgot these lessons taught to me.
Some say life isn't fair,
Hey I don't know, I don't care.

Therapy is extremely expensive.
Poppin' bubblie wrap is radically cheap.
You choose which one helps with your problem.
I'm gonna get some sleep.
I'm gonna get some sleep.

Sandy beaches in distant reaches
And oh those lovely Georgia peaches.
It's never too much and never too late
To pack your bags and get out of state.
Is it ignorance or apathy
The worried will all disagree.
Some say life isn't fair,
Hell, I don't know and I don't care.

If you're looking for a quote from me
I'll be under the mango tree.
Just can't say how I'll get there
Hey, I don't know and I don't care.
I don't know and I don't' care.

his is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end of our elaborate plans
The end of ev'rything that stands
The end

No safety or surprise
The end
I'll never look into your eyes again

Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need of
some strangers hand
In a desperate land

Lost in a Roman wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain
There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the king's highway
Weird scenes inside the goldmine
Ride the highway West baby

Ride the snake
Ride the snake
To the lake
To the lake

The ancient lake baby
The snake is long
Seven miles
Ride the snake

He's old
And his skin is cold
The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here and we'll do the rest

The blue bus is calling us
The blue bus is calling us
Driver, where you taking us?

The killer awoke before dawn
He put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall

He went into the room where his sister lived
And then he paid a visit to his brother
And then he walked on down the hall
And he came to a door
And he looked inside
Father?
Yes son
I want to kill you
Mother, I want to.............

Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
Come on, baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus

This is the end, beautiful friend
This is the end, my only friend
The end

It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me

The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die

 

Why does everyone think stars have some sort of super power or that their some sort of super human? I mean all stars are is people..human beings. We make mistakes and we are all far from perfect!

 

I got a friend who watched that movie with me and now he hates jim morrison, lol he thinks that he tries too hard. so every once in a while i bug him by saying something like "hey teddy, there's no yogurt left in the cafe'... i think this is a good metaphor for your soul because the yogurt is your heart and people just keep taking more and more till it's all gone" and then he hits me

 

jimmy buffett is AWESOME.

 

ouchhh...

 

and why does everyone keep bringing up that hes human?
DUH. i know that he was probably just a normal guy

1. i was talking about him in the movie..the way val kilmer portrayed him
and 2. his music still pretty much sucks

 

i put myself in the 67-68's and their music was indeed, very good. but the only problem is they didnt really evolve into more complex sounds. (even though they didnt really have the time)

for example pink floyd, from piper to Atom Heart Mother.
"Yes" from a hippie pop band to complete progressive epics

but Doors were just Doors to Doors. which i in no way hate though. i love their sound.

 

T3H!!!111 Gawd... the only difference is that they aren't dead and they're making good music to this day, while maintaining a sense of originality.

 

The dorrs aren't really psychadelic, they are classified as just an american rock band. They deffinately have some psychadelic influens, but they aren't really classified by anyone as psychadelic.

 

I have only read to the second page, BUT...

i really lke the doors. I love their sound, I love the lyrics. The lyrics to light my fire were kind of corny, but I think they were intended to be so. For then, it would be the equivalent to saying: Come on baby, turn me on.

But I really love them quite a bit! I have the D2K DVD I got for christmas (The doors 2000, they were doing their LA Woman tour they never got to do when Jim was alive because of him dying because the government killed him, just like Hendrix and Janis. All 27 years old, all died from supposedly "Partying too hard".) and it is quite nifty. The guy they got to replace Jim was really awesome. Looked a lot like him and sang like him too.

Personally, I love jims baritone voice...

Honestly Micha, for making this thread (not for disliking the doors, but for making this thread about disliking them) I would say you suck at life if I knew you didn't... But you rock at life, so I will let it slide. )

 

mmk well
i think that
everyone needsta chill

cos i didn't even remember making this thread
