I agree too! Seriously, complaining because someone wears a t-shirt with Jim Morrison's face on it? Who died and left them in charge?!
I was gonna let you beep me, but I got my rag, and I know how you hate a mess -

Yeah Jim despised the coming of heavy metal111c and punk alright! The fact that nothing of the kind existed until almost a decade after his passing is irrelevant.
You just (like almost all teenage fans of most everything) wish you could have Jim all to yourself. That you were only one who "understands" his works.
It's really pretentious and you are in effect more annoying than any punks who happens to like or not like the doors or young girls who find Jim hawt or soemthing.
The only good thing about it is that, sure as anything, you'll outgrow it and start appreciating good music and good poetry for what it is and not make everything about what you/other people "get". -

im 22 but I don't hate teens who like him. I think its great.
true fans don't have to wear t shirts and stuff, its in their heart lol
just like those wankas who wear Commodore or Ford jackets, usually the ones with very old cars. My family have the current Fords and we don't parade it round like they do. its just silly.

i'm 16 and i too am a huge fan of Jim Morrisonand it's truehe was a poet not a rock starwhich is an amazing quote from the 1991 movie btwpeople don't understand the beauty in his lyrics and the ideas he had. he's just seen by some people as "punk" because he never followed any rules and didn't put up with society's beep and ideas of what things should beand i respect that and thats what most teenagers get from himme being a songwriter myself have always been inspired by his music AND his rebelious spirit. I can see where your coming frombut i can also see where they're coming from

ya know what? get the hell over it. is it that bad that we wear a shirt to remember him? would u rather us forget him? jim was an amazing song writer, singer, and poet and he left his mark in history now he needs to be represented. is it so bad that we think great things about him and we look up to him? is it so bad he was such an amazing guy he is STILL influencing people to this day?! 40 years after the band was put together baby! thats right and he'll be represted until the day i die! now i'm not gunna lie i hate those kids that only know light my fire or break on through and think they r his biggest fans, i'll have to agree with u on that. but its not that big a deal5b4 its just a cotton tee and maybe those kids will get to know the doors betteri really hope sobut at least they're helping him live after death, rite?

Imagine how I feel. I teach in a high school and have to watch students wearing Jim Morrison t-shirts just to be cool. I had one student who was a genuine Doors fan and knew a lot about Jim Morrison, so I didn't mind him wearing the shirt we actually had quite an interesting discussion about music.
But then there are those others
I can't even say anything about it, because if I do comment on what a student is wearing (beyond something that violates the dress code), the parents start calling to tell me off. As an aside I always find it amusing when parents complain about teachers criticizing their kids, when you know the parents have criticized the same thing at home they just don't think anyone but themselves should be allowed to say anything to their little darlings.
It's not just t-shirts of The Doors, though. You get idiot students who wear t-shirts of Che Guevara and haven't even heard of him. I've asked students wearing Che Guevara t-shirts why they like Che Guevara, only to get a blank stare and "Huh?" or "Who?" in reply. -

I'm 17, and a HUGE fan of the Doors mainly for the lyrics Jim was such a genius when it came to poetry and songwriting. He was the greatest singer, greatest poet, and his charisma on stage has been the typical rock persona, no one can ever match this legend.
