Jim Morrison Sound/bellend?

RONNIE CUTRONE: I loved Jim Morrison dearly, but Jim was not fun to go out with. I hung out with him every night for just about a year, and Jim would go out, lean up against the bar, order eight screwdrivers, put down six Tuinals on the bar, drink two or three screwdrivers, take two Tuinals, then he’d have to pee, but he couldn’t leave the other five screwdrivers, so he’d take his dick out and pee, and some girl would come up and blow his dick, and then he’d finish the other five screwdrivers and then he’d finish up the other four Tuinals, and then he’d pee in his pants, and then Eric Emerson and I would take him home. That was a typical night out with Jim. But when he was on acid, then Jim was really fun and great. But most of the time he was just a lush pill head.

RAY MANZAREK: Jim was a shaman

Clearly a bellend but he could sing.

Don't rate him as a 'poet' mind you.
Always rated him highly as a singer, liked the way he went from rock to Sinatra type crooning. At one time I though Ian Curtis modelled his singing style on him. As a poet some of his stuff is ok I think but its hard to separate his writing from him , his image and persoa. Without viewing it through the latter it doesn't stand too much scrutiny.
 
I always remember a quote about him, something like 'Wherever he went he always behaved that there was a camera filming him'. Complete, yet talented, narcissist really .
 
One of my oldest friends, whom i shared a flat with in the 80s, was a fan and completely overplayed the Doors. I didn’t think I ever needed to hear them again until I heard the Blondie/Doors Riders on the Storm mash up. That did cause me to reassess a little.

They did some OK things, but a lot of it is plodding, ponderous, unexciting faux blues. With teenage poetry over it.

Ian McCulloch was more Morrison-influenced than Ian Curtis. Curtis did model his performance on LWTUA on Sinatra though apparently.
 
violent misogynist pisshead narcissist, terrible poet, hugely charasmatic frontman, visionary and did some brilliant music.

There are some good remixes around of the Doors
