jim morrisons death. (lyric, John Lennon, American, quote, songs)

since he died, everyone calls him a legend and a poet and stuff, but when he was alive, not many people thought that way, most people hated the man. i have a shirt with a picture of jim on it and above it, it says "an american poet" which i think is ridiculous because 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. dont get me wrong tho, i think he's kickass, i just think callin him a poet is a bit much.

My opinion of Jim Morrison is that he was in fact a poet, maybe you've never read his 14 books of poetry he wrote in paris b4 his death. Yeah some did'nt get that he was a revouluionary he was about opening peoples minds. Durgs helped as they often do but to atribute his life's work to drugs is just an insalt to music. Read his poetry and yr opinion will change.

he was just on acid. stuff like 'I Am The Walrus' and 'Yellow Submarine' are all just results of drugs, theres no thought put behind those songs.

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.

Well jim wrote more than just songs, he had his book published, the other examples u gave were simply songwritters NOT poets.

Urban Hat€monger ? · 04-15-2005, 10:31 AM

Yes but he was talking about songs in his original post so thats what i made references to

IMATOOL · 04-15-2005, 10:34 AM

Still drugs R not creative they don't have ideas on their own, Jim was a brilliant writter drugs R just for fun not a means of creation.
