he would have dug Gaga for her willingness to experiment

I totally agree with you, Kyndra-B!
"Time you enjoy wasting, was not wasted."

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.

Coffee. I am a twenty five year Doors fanbut I am not going to ignore the weaknesses of the man. I just love the music.

So yeah.Coffee or tea?

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.

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.

Mere justification for his lack of real ability in my opinion. Lyrics tend to be more succinct and to the point than poetry needs to be. Also when I say he wrote catchy lyrics that doesnt mean his lyrics had any real depth. His lyrics and vocal performances fit the music..yet many of the lyrics themselves..particularly in the 68 to 69 period..were incoherent when looked at objectively. Similiarly his poetry was just as inconsistant and incoherent yet it lacked the structure required by music. Without the discipline of The Doors Morrison seemed adrift in disconnected delusional ramblings and an overreliance on intellectual theatrics that had no real substance except some vague insights into Morrisons mind. The man was obviously suffering from psychosis..either brought on by substance abuse or enhanced by it. As I said he wrote some catchy lyrics which is why I can ignore all of the other nonsense and baggage that comes with the man.

Morrison had a ego about his place in the world. He had an inflated sense of his own importance and this is reflected in many of his songs. Also by 69 he was in the grip of serious dependency and began to neglect his appearance. Whether he incorporated the idea of leaving his sex symbol status behind into his delusions of where he wanted to believe he was at or decided to simply buck against the status quo. As a recovering alcholic with 8 years sobriety I have heard many people speak of destroying their successes in life because they felt undeserving. Morrison was running scared from whatever was eating him up by 69 if you ask me. He had an awful lot of enablers around him too. Its a shame. He wrote catchy lyrics. He was a mediocre poet though.

That depends. If Jim destroyed his image as a sex symbol because he didn't feel worthy of it, that would almost certainly preclude narcissism. However he destroyed it because he believed his artistic ability to be greater than what he'd been given credit for.
Death is a stripping away of all that is not you. The secret of life is to die before you die and find that there is no death.

The term narcissism refers to the personality trait of egotism, which includes the set of character traits concerned with self-image ego. The terms narcissism, narcissistic, and narcissist are often used as pejoratives, denoting vanity, conceit, egotism or simple selfishness.
You just CAN'T be narcissistic and destroy your image as a sex symbol!
I'm smiling. This should scare you.

I think that a guy who gained weight and grew a beard on purpose, just so the fans would stop seeing him like a sex symbol and start listening to what he was saying is hardly the description of a narcissistic wanker.
That only proves that he wasn't superficial. Superficiality and narcissism are not mutually inclusive.

why would someone come on a board and start saying hateful things is beyond me.
