Read his poetry and yr opinion will change.

im gonna have to agree with this..
He was very much a poet, more so than an actuall lyricist in my opinion. Sure he did lots of drugs, but the majority of the artsy type poets of that time (and now) were/are on some sort of mood altering substance, and to give credit to the drugs alone is obsurd. Plenty of garbage has been written on acid, hell even ive written some songs on acid. Some decent, others instantly tossed away. It still takes a person with writing abilities to write songs/poems, sober or not.
