Jfk78, there was no delusion. The Doors and Morrison were more creative than most and the music reflects Jim's philosopher poet mind. Only dumb, nasty or bitter people use the old 'psychosis' argument about geniuses.

In truth, Morrison saw himself as a kind of shaman. He saught to find and uncover truth, and was also a revolutionary. He was very much a product of his era. He also refused to cater to the 'teenybopper' crowd by writing trite or juvenile songs that could have been played on AM radio. He surely deserves credit for sticking to his ideals, in that way.
I think he had no real desire to live a long, drawn-out 'celebrity' life. I strongly doubt that he had future visions of his being a 70-year-old retired rock-n'-roller sitting on his porch, with a grandchild or 2 on his knee, telling them "Oh yes, sonny boy, I remember when I was a young whippersnapper on the Ed Sullivan show" He probably was instead trying to achieve a kind of nirvana (and unforgettable legacy) by burning brightly (as an artist and performer) as he could, and then letting that flame burn itself out on it's own accord. -

Don't you have anything better to do instead of posting a stupid comment who you don't even like?
Jim Morrison is a legend. If you don't appreciate his art, then maybe you should try different types like I don't know, Lady Gaga? Or someone who doesn't have any talent but covers it with sound effects. Or someone who pays for a guy to write lyrics and still suck. It's your life, your quality, your decision. But don't you try to be disrespectful about Jim Morrison or The Doors.
