The Doors

[Melvin]

Jim Morrison is a god

Jim Morrison was an enormous tool and the Doors as a whole were extremely overrated. When you grow up, you will realize these truths to be self-evident.

There was group from the same place doing the same scene as the Doors 3 years before them can't remember what they were called though,it will come to me

I don't think they would have gotten anywhere without that unique sound of Ray Mazarek...the man starts playing, puts me in a trance (he did the bass on the keyboard as well)

These guys die young, they still do.  Bunch of Money and anyone to tell them any different.

I'm fairly certain I wouldn't be here if I had that sort of access at that age

Overrated like the Beatles and Nirvana.

Being familiar with their music since before birth many of you cannot truly appreciate the Doors' uniqueness for the time.

do what? 

If everyone here was listening to the Doors in the womb, how can they be objective of their uniqueness for the times?

This from a cubs fan speaks volumes.

I am well read on The Doors.   I know exactly what you are trying to convey.

Exactly. I'm a fan of one of the crumbiest sports franchises of all time. Yet even I am aware of how much Jim Morrison blows.

Someday you too may catch the net.

And don't go giving me any of that fanciful Lizard King crap. The guy was an ultra melon. To deny it is foolish.


EDIT:  ultra melon, that's hilarious.

Well convey it to me, because I don't get why folks put him on a higher level then ..lets say Grace Slick, Arlo Guthrie or Dylan. Hell there's tons of others that conveyed similar messages for their times, like The Stones, The Who, even Syd Barrett for that matter. But it's Jim Morrison that has thousands of folk flock to his grave to pay homage every year. I don't get it. Is it because he died too young? Well so did Joplin, Hendrix, and Winehouse. Heck at least Jimi could play a Gibson upside down and be trippin' on top of that!  

The only reason I say Jim was dumb is because he had the world by the balls and friggin' blew it all on some dope. Money, fame, women, world travels, all gone at 27 because he just had to get high. It's a damned shame! I'm still pissed at Amy Winehouse. Damn I hate drugs....they ALL should have stuck to weed.

Melvin.   There is always next week, try then champ.

I don't think Morrison has any more notoriety that Hendrix.  If Dylan had been killed in that motorcycle crash he would have probably have been bigger than all of them.
