jim morrisons death. (lyrics, effect, concert, quote, artist)

if in order to awaken your poetic conscious you need drugs than its better that you never decided to write in the first place. As a poet and lyricist myself, I am not a fan of his musical work or "poetry" which he still produced in a drug state.

I do like the song "Who Sre You".

Um well I've never read his poetry but I hear its mostly about his penis.

In other news, David Crosby had this to say about Jim Morrison:

"If there were flower children, than jim morrison was a mushroom child, keep him in the dark and feed him shiit"

I never said he was

You said (And I already quoted this once so you knew what I was talking about)...

Quote:

he was just on acid. stuff like 'the end' and 'crawlin king snake' are all just results of drugs, theres no thought put behind those songs.

See I never mentioned poetry anywhere , I was talking about his songs that you dismissed as drug addled ramblings with no thought.I simply pointed out that if you can say that about the Doors I can make the same arguement against Beatles songs.

Clear?

Lately "American" seems to be durogatory.

For those talking about [B]JimMorrison, if you think his books of poetry A crap U obviously haven't read them and are therefor uneducated on this topic to basicaly shut the ****up. Jim was an artist, don't think so well **** you. If anyone knows his life story, U would know about his childhood and his encouter w/ the shawman, and the effect that encouter had on his music, poetry and life.
