    Jim Morrison's onstage persona was just a small glimpse into his overall personality, but it didn't define him. You can hear in this interview that he was so much more than just a rock singer. Oliver Stone really did Morrison dirty. There's no way a person who was drunk all the time, could write so many amazing songs, record 6 studio albums, tour for 5 straight years, write thousands of poems, make movies and do so much more. I met Ray Manzarek in 1991 shortly after the Oliver Stone movie came out and he shared his disdain for it quite adamantly. Ray was Jim's best friend. He loved him like a brother. I've listened to enough of Jim's interviews to gather that he was a polite, sensitive, curious, intelligent, compassionate, funny and generous guy. Don't ever believe the media. They just want your dirty laundry. Do your own research and you'll get as close to the real truth as possible.

    It is incredibly disgusting that societies are so consequentialist about men's behavior and efforts and constantly talk about new responsibilities while ignoring women's roles in family and society. The most tragicomic thing is that many women who comment on such videos react on the same basis as Ayn Rand, rather than on the lessons or implications to be learned. Unfortunately, especially in my generation, there is an affirmative action that plagues humanity under the name of "changing social balances". These affirmative action reinterpreted schools of thought have become the emergency refuge of poor people who cannot stand behind even the simplest responsibilities and promises in relationships. Most infuriatingly, ordinary people living ordinary lives.... the stories of successful women who have made their mark in history are used as a basis for their own personal tastes and preferences. However, when we examine the social dynamics, the only common thread is that unloving women justify their abnormal behavior and desires, far from responsibility and sacrifice, by hiding behind the success stories of women who have actually paid the price.

    I had a crazy dream again. We were gathered with a crowd of fans on the train platform. There was a main journalist that was also waiting. We were expecting a celebrity to arrive, but we didn't know who will it be. And then the train arrived and the person who got off was Jimmy Morrison, but old and not so handsome. He had a wrinkly face and round belly hanging over the belt of his jeans. And nobody recognised him. Nobody apart from me. The crowd started humming and moving impatiently still looking at the train waiting for someone else to get off. The journalist run to Jimmy, grabbed his shoulders and moved him away from the train: make some space you a...hole! Someone important will get off. I was looking at all of this stunned and unable to speak. And then Jimmy turned towards me, looked straight in my eyes and said: You see, they love us only when we are young and beautiful. Once we get old they don't need us any more." And that was it.

    Yeah, this is fun. Hadn't heard it in quite a while. The cartoons look like Bob in 1966, not Bob in 1962 when he had conventional short hair, looked very young, and wore a hat and working class clothes. He had kind of almost a Huck Finn look to him in those days, and it helped give some believability to the stories he told about traveling around with the carnival and all that. He was really trying to emulate the Woody Guthrie life story at that time, because Guthrie was one of his idols when he was young. Some others were Buddy Holly, Elvis, and Little Richard. He had gone from country (Hank Williams) to electric rock n' roll to acoustic folk and blues already by the time he was 20 years old! And that gave him a very solid musical foundation to work from. He probably did not believe he was headed for either fame or riches, but he did know exactly what he wanted to do...and he did it.

    "I felt like a large mammal". 😂 He wasn't that fat, even when he died. I don't know what they were on about. Obsessive. Interesting hearing a Man getting openly fat-shamed. He was just rake-thin when the Doors got famous. All he did was go back to a normal weight with a bit of a beer belly. Fk those guys.

That’s scary how an individual can be turned into this magnificent creature, and in a situation, good or bad, can change that view instantly- become part of political theater, the poster boy for everything wrong, a monster, if they deem it so. RIP TUPAC SHAKUR Me Against The World is his best work, and I stand by that until the end of time; my time.

    I can see some things in common, plutonic friends, being cool with gay people, wanting a happy normal life, being bored and wanting to see your roots. He has a lot of pain in his voice too whether or not you like the music he and his bandmates were good people. He's right about rock stars too, the ones boomers love. Like they got songs about 69ing, lots of pedophilia-Groomer behavior or just sex in general. Granted he wrote Mexican Seafood.
