Ok, this isn't actually about "music" but actually about Jim Morrison poetry. If this in the wrong place, I'm sorry Anyway, does anyone else really like Jim's poetry?
i love jims poetry i love jim he was one sexxy beast his poetry was his music and it made it all the better
"out here in the perimetre there are no stars... ....out here..we are STOOOONNNEDD................ immaculate"
I dont like Jim Morrison alot but his poetry, I thought was really good, I've got a book af it at home.
Jim Morrison is a drunken buffoon posing as a poet........ I think lester bangs said that, and that is pretty much true.
"Wow, I'm sick of doubt Live in the light of certain South Cruel bindings The servants have the power dog-men & their mean women pulling poor blankets over our sailors I'm sick of dour faces Staring at me from the T.V. Tower: I want roses in my garden bower; dig? Royal babies, rubies must now replace aborted Strangers in the mud These mutants, blood-meal fro the plant that's plowed They are waiting to take us into the severed garden So you know how pale & wanton thrillful comes death on a strange hour unannounced, unplanned for like a scaring over-friendly guest you've brought to bed Death makes angels of us all & gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as raven's claws No more money, no more fancy dress This other Kingdom seems by far the best until its other jaw reveals incest & loose obedience to a vegetable law I will not go Prefer a Feast of Friends To the Giant Family" I love his poetry.
Hey, Lester Bangs also had his share of buffoonery. Haven't you read his book? You know...that one about menure? That was the biggest sack of crap anyone could put on pages.
I really like alot of Jim's poetry, but I understand when people say it is drunken jibberish. Not all though
His poetry is not that great. Most of his stuff I read and then think, "Gee, that wasn't as good as I expected." I think people just get caught up in the whole doors/jim morrison fad right now. I would ask them to name at least 10 other poets beside jim. That's not even a sufficient enough list.
I have all 3 of his peotry books. As a fellow poet (and Doors fan) I support him, but some of it is weird. Then again, would anyone expect anything less? I mean, this is Jim, & that's part of what made him famous. And yes, he's absolutly gorgeous...sorry, couldn't help myself (hehehe)
jim morrisons poetry is really overrated, he could never even dream of being half the song writer, singer, artist or man that john lennon was
Even though I'm such a Doors fan, I admit that most of Jim's poetry is nonsensical ramblings. Well...it might make sense if you're always fucking stoned. Lester Bangs....hahaaa...
I beleive he had other spiritual beings working through him trying to deliver a message of beauty and the sins of the world but he could not deliver when he turned into a worldly drunken fool. He came close early on but lost it
