His only problem is that he became famous. He would have lived a happy life if he was unknown. You hang out with your friends you can be honest as well as laugh your asses off. You make it and all these people want to be with you and you start to feel lonely among so many people that are not on the same page.
Their second release is my favorite. The cover reminds me of Salem Mass. where i went to school and lived. Knowing the story that Jim refused to be on the cover makes it even more special. "You're lost little girl" and "I can't see your face in my mind" is the height of the Doors studio genius in my mind. I can see how people would have been disappointed in the second release to the first as thier was no "I looked at you"....."take it as it comes" or the obvious hits.
@@sharonmontano4924 Read about it..The Gulf of Tonkin...OHHHhhhh.. That's right, your generation doesn't REEEAAADDD!!! DUH! READ A BOOK...READ A BOOK...READ A MOTHER F&^%*^&^ BOOK!
I knew most of this, but not every exact detail. Great job! I have always said I think Jim’s relationship with his parents is why he was so broken. Don’t get me wrong. The Doors are my all time favorite band and Jim is one of my favorite people ever, favorite singer over Frank, Elvis, Sting, everyone. Rest in peace Jim and your Rest in peace to his awesome parents. I have 100 percent respect for his father. He was equally as unwavering as Jim was a performer. Maybe we have the elder Morrison to thank for all of us never tiring of the Jim Morrison mystique.
Actually, The first track on the 'Waiting For the Sun' LP - "Hello, I Love You" - was a previously written track from Jim's 1965 era, as well. After that album, however, the band composed each album, thereafter, of all new original material from there (Soft Parade through LA Woman LPs). Also, Jim would have turned 25 in late 1968, not 24. Jim's birthdate is 12-8-43.
Very interesting, great video as usual. I wonder if there’s more to why he wouldn’t speak to his mom or younger brother. The dad and even mom I could see, but who ignores their younger bro? Strange family in strange times
@@desertrose1226 And they seem like nice people especially his sister who as a young girl would cry and worry that her brother end a penniless poet with no prospects.
Your narration/voice and editing is great as always, but going a little deeper in the research would improve a video like this. All Doors fans have heard all of this before. And also, Robby Krieger wrote the music/melodies and often the majority of the lyrics of some of their biggest hits, Like Light My Fire, Love Me Two Times, and Love Her Madly.
The part where his dad didn't put down his newspaper reminds me of my father when I showed him my first little book, a volume on Aleister Crowley. Not quite as bad, but my mother said "Don't you want to see your son's book?" He put down the paper, flicked quickly through it, said 'Very good, son", and resumed reading the news as my mom rolled her eyes and sighed, as if to say how typical of him.
I have never understood why Jim was so estranged from his parents, his parents were conservative, and strict but they were not abusive and did not believe in using corporal punishment to discipline their children, instead relying on a severe dressing down, as way to keep the children in line. Furthermore they were not neglectful and supported Jim through college. So it is not like Jim had a particularly harsh upbringing, it wasn't. It was an affluent middle class upbringing. Jim sister and brother did not share Jim's estrangement from their parents. So that is one of the great mysteries about Jim Morrison.
You can be abusive to a child without hitting him. His father sent him a letter saying he should give up his career as a musician because he thought he had not talent. Even when he had a no1 hit. He made him get his haircut despite having just had it cut. The man was an abusive control freak. Nothing Jim did was good enough. He had a rough childhood growing up with that lunatic.
@@WhatTheyDontTellYou-hy3lw Yes those things are true, but for me they still don't explain the source of Jim's vehement rejection of his parents and even to some extent his brother and sister, who he barely saw after he became famous. Jim's father's reaction to Jim's choice of career and his insistence on him getting another haircut, because the first one was inadequate, would have been common, for conservative people of Jim's parent's demographic. They were conservative people from a conservative time. To put it another way, Jim's parents weren't that bad. Jim's father wasn't an irresponsible drunkard who squandered his money causing the family to go hungry, while he beat his wife. Anyway, that's how I see it.
@@theodoreconstantini2548 you're looking at abuse very one dimensional.Just because his father wasnt a drunk who beat his wife it doesnt mean he didnt put jim through hell. you really think just resented his parents and refused to talk to them for the rest of his life and they were great people? use your head his parents were obviously abusive.The first indication of his fame his dad writes a letter telling him he's basically useless as a musician. If you cant see thats abusive youre delusional
@@WhatTheyDontTellYou-hy3lw I don't think the behavior you describe constitutes abuse, yes it was unfortunate, but all parents make mistakes you need to look at the big overall picture. The other thing is that Jim's sister and brother did not share, Jim's profound alienation from his parents. And why was Jim alienated from his brother and sister they did nothing to him if anything Jim was a bully to his younger brother. Also keep in mind Jim was a difficult child from a very young, age, he was always tormenting his brother and sister, with almost sadistic glee, he liked to provoke and shock, and go against the grain constantly just for the sake of seeing people's reactions. It could not have been easy to have a child like Jim especially back then. The thing is that Jim showed signs of growing into a disturbed or mentally unhinged personality from a very early age. He definitely had a cruel and callous side to him . By his last year in high school this personality transformation was in full swing and everybody who knew him noticed it.
@@theodoreconstantini2548 if you don’t think that’s abuse then look up abuse in the dictionary. Forever berating your child and holding him to unrealistic standards is t “unfortunate” it’s abuse.
seriously, how much did Jim Morrison drink? i’m guessing it started early in life, like maybe high school or early college… did he get drunk every day?
He would have ignored his children, as he never wanted children and , was not emotionally available to carry out a parental role, at all. And he even talked his sometime girlfriend (Patricia Kennealy ) into getting an abortion. All this is explained clearly "in no here gets out alive" . Where Jim is quoted as saying very clearly he did not want to be a father to anybody's child even Pamela's who was his main girlfriend at the time. If he had been a father he would have been one of these deadbeat dads that have nothing to do with his child, and have to be forced by the courts to stump up some financial support.
@@Dominic-tn9gv I don't need to have met him to have an opinion on him or to be able to come to some conclusions about him. Everybody who comments on these sites has an opinion, or comes to some conclusion about Jim Morrison. Especially his fanatical fans. I don't think you have met him either and I'm sure you have an opinion on him. At least mine are based on solid facts, and are hardly uniquely held. Everything I claim is well attested to, in numerous books written on him, affirmed by witnesses , or are reasonable assumptions given what we know about him. There numerous books and biographies on Jim and the Doors, (and I have read nearly all of them) and many people have giving accounts of him, so there is a hell lot of information to go on, and that's what I base my assessment of his personality. Every claim I make is actually based on evidence from his life. You just don't like my well supported conclusions, maybe because some of them are so unflattering, but the balance of available evidence is not on your side it's on my side. So do some proper research and then come back and see me.
It's been downplayed for years...but basically Jim was a mean drunk.
Pretty sure he was a nice, reasonable guy when he wasn't though
If you live long enough you'll go through hard times. Better younger than older.
This dude was fucking insane, absolute legend
Jim Morrison was a rock God. Awesome video.
Yeah, alcoholics who assault Janis Joplin are sooooo cool!
There are much better and more truthful videos about Jim Morrison

The song The End still enlightens me
Your dad starting Vietnam is a hard cross to bear in the counterculture. Poor Jim doomed early. RIP
Sins of the father...

When you are drunk all the time life can go downhill.

Would love to see day in the life videos of each Beatles throughout 1966!
You can find it in the book: Beatles’ 66

The ole lovely family pictures on the mental with big smiles meanwhile Jim looks like he’s in a straight jacket.

His father was the catalyst for the Vietnam War. Gulf of Tonkin. It was all bogus.

Using clips from the Oliver Stone film The Doors ruins the video. Thumbs up on the excellent narration.
My bras have to be buttery soft. 🧈
Funny how Jim died at 5am same as they say Paul died.
seriously, how much did Jim Morrison drink?
i’m guessing it started early in life, like maybe high school or early college…
did he get drunk every day?
It's pretty much confirmed Jim died from smack at rock&roll circus,..nightclub in paris...
Apparently, he was given a 'hot dose', unbeknownst to him.
Imagine having a father like Jim Morrison.
😮 awesome and awful in equal measure.
