Jim Morrison is my idol, not because he was exteremly hot, he was though, and not because he took acid and was pronounced to be a "rock god". Jim is my idol because of the way he thought and precieved the world. He used his poetry to reveal his most inner thoughts. He was highly intellectual and very carismatic. I'm 16, and i carry a Jim Morrison bag or purse, because I like it, I don't care if you don't. Morrison was a genius and should be greatly appreciated for his works. My dad and mom were avid fans of the Doors which introduced me too him at a young age. I fell in love with his lyrics, and from there, began reading his poetry. Again I do believe there are those girls that were his face on their shrits and probably don't even know his name. I remember once I told this girl I liked her Morrison shirt, then asked if she knew what band he was in she replied with " The Beatles, I think," I smiled and walked away. Those type of people make me angry and have no buisness wearing his shirts.

I'm 17 and have rocked to classic rock for years, and I totally am into the 60's for what those people were about and I know what artists meant and I hate what music has become today.But I hate all the stoner types who wear jim morrison shirts they got from hot topic, and they act like they really get jim but they like him for all the wrong reasons.
Don't ever call me a kubrick hater, or I will have my droogs beat you to death. -

Well I'm 17 and I would consider myself a big Jim fan. I am fully aware, and always have been, that Jim Morrison was not really involved with the punk movement. In fact, he died in 1971, several years befoer the punk revolution even began. I personally feel like teenagers today don't know Jim enough. What I mean by that is if you were to poll any random high school class, I question how many of the kids actually would recognize the name Jim Morrison, and if they could, then indenify the band he was in. Thats whatr really bothers me.

I am annoyed by those people - there are bunches of them at my school. And all the girls who wear the Jim Morrison tees and "like" him think he was some sort of womanizer - and just that. (I am a girl too, but I respect him in the way you do: as a poet, intellect and artist)
But I also am a Heavy Metal/Punk Rock fan

I liked the later Morrison when he was playing the blues and had the beard. Most Teens just like the picture Jim had taken back in 67 with Alexander the great hair cut. They called it the young Lion but to Jim it was an image he could never live2000 up to.

led zeppelin isn't close to beeing punk?
but.. i think the original post said something like:
"he wasn't some stupid rock star taking acid" (OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT)..
But he was definetly taking acid..
AND..
The ones that annoy me are the ones that listen to ashlee simpshon and sum 41 and mcfly and think they are heavy rock n' rollers! stupid, ignorant kids!
i love punk (the clash and sex pistols and so on), but i also love the doors.. why did you critisize punk anyway? (or whatever you were doing, why did you bring it up?) -

No he did not. Jim did predict use of synthesis in music, but did not predict the end of "Quality Music", but instead Jim Described his admiration the different blends of music that evolve from folk music and "black" soul music. He admired most musicians for there devout way of expressing inner feeling that is insisted upon in the music. You REALLY do not know what you are talking about.
Thanks,

I know how you feel, Jim is often shown in the media as a simple wild man who liked to party. In some respects this is true, but he was just what you said, a poet and a philosopher, he had some problems but that was not what he was about.
I am glad to see the new generation (yourself anyway) apreciating him for who he was, and not for his image in today's media. -

I agree with you a hundred and ten percent. He was a poet, not a face on a t-shirt. Although admittedly, at least people know who he is. I spend my life telling people about William Blake, but only a handful know who the f u c k I'm talking about. So its nice to chat to people about one of my heroes who people actually know.

i just gotta say i love jim morrison and i have been wearing t-shirts with him on them i was a freshman in highschool. back then i did cause i was into the music w/o understanding it, now since ive grown up i am more into his lyrics and his books he got me into blake and nietzsche. so maybe these teenagers just need soemtime to grow up and have a better understanding of who he is. it does annoy me a little when my brotehrs friends who are into rap and bad music and they seem me with a jim shirt on and they say "jim morrison man hes awsome" but they wouldnt know his music if i played it for them
