True story: This guy I know works with a girl who wears a shirt with jim on it and she had no idea who he was. It says Hello I Love You on it and she had no idea that that was a song. She said that she just got it because she thought it looked cool.

I am a 17 female and i see people my age all the time wearing The Doors shirts and if i ask them what do you think of this song..? what do you think these lyrics mean? they are like what? and that annoys me too but who cares it is their loss.
Don't let those 'punks' get to you.
It is a free world and people wearing his shirts should be the least of your worries at 15yo anyway.. -

ITT: butthurt kids who think Jim Morrison is THEIRS dammit, and you can only like him if you've listened to all of his studio albums ten times apiece, and done complete analyses on at least fifteen of his poems, and read at least three of his biographies - and not that No One Here Gets Out Alive propaganda crap, either.
When you're done bragging about how you like an artist who's been dead for forty years and about how you really "know" him and "relate" to him, and grow up a little, you'll realize you're being pretentious little cocks. He WAS a rock star. He may've been a poet, but he was first a rock star, and he DOES represent many of the punk ideals - rebelliousness, a love of partying, random sex with random women, drugs and alc5b4ohol, etc. Maybe he got tired of fame later on, but I'm sure he didn't regret getting filthy beep rich from it.
So what if a girl wears a Jim Morrison shirt because she thinks he's hot? Who the beep cares? Do I wear Nike shoes because I just think they look cool, or should I read a couple of books about them and write a ten-page report before I DARE to put them on?
You're talking about how you don't like him to be viewed as a "god." Don't you realize you're idolizing him WAY more than these other kids? You're acting just like the literary elitists who spend their time trying to tell people what authors they can and cannot read.
Just get the beep over yourself. -

i think there is a bit of hypocrisy. everything jim and the doors supposedly stood for is destroyed w/ every piece of merchandise manufactured. god bless densmore for being the only door w/ any kind of principle. ray and robbie are sell outs, jim is dead and even if he were alive its very likely hed be a sell out too. like the rolling stones.

I agree. I'm a teenage too, I'm 16. But the thing is I know his art. He's not one of that "always screaming, making noise" kind of singers. And I believe he didn't just write those poems, those lyrics to be popular. He didn't care about what other people think or how much money he would make. Jim just wrote what he felt.
