" i never liked the doors. i found them terribly offensive...when we played with them. it was back when jim morrison was just a pure mick jagger copy. that was his whole shot, that he was a mick jagger imitation. not vocally, but his moves, his whole physical appearance were totally stolen from right around mick jagger's 1965 tour of the states. he used to move around alot, before he started to earn a reputation as a poet, which i thought was really undeserved.

TIL that Jerry Garcia hated the Doors. Who knew?

Yesterday Lileks had Van Morrison, today you have Jim Morrison. If you get them mixed up, just remember, the "a" in "Van" stands for "alive".
ReplyDeleteI wonder if Jim started to believe his own press. He certainly seemed to have cheesed off a lot of people.
