Hero Worship and Jim Morrison
I’ve had a “thing” for Jim Morrison of the Doors ever since I hit puberty; never mind that he died when I was around two. I dug the music first, then I read his poetry, then I read “No One Here Gets Out Alive.” Never mind that some of his profundity might have been drug-fueled (ok, was definitely drug-fueled) and never mind that there’s probably a lot of folk especially the young kids who probably don’t have a clue who he was.
I think that he was ahead of his time, especially with this internet stuff and the 24 hour news cycles….where privacy is non existent and where people think nothing at all of exposing the most intimate details of their entire lives to the whole world. So in no particular order I thought I’d share some quotes with y’all from Morrison that ought to make you think. I’d add a picture of him but I’d bet they’re all copyrighted and I wouldn’t want to get in trouble! (more…)
