<p>Mike, I loved your piece on Jim Morrison. I hope you don't mind, but I reblogged it on my website Jim Morrison Project. I am in the process of a redesign, so the site is currently under construction, but I plan to launch on Jim Morrison's birthday, Dec. 8, 2015. If there is a problem reblogging your article, please let me know, and I'll take it down immediately. Your piece has been properly cited, and I have included a link to this page. Thank you for your consideration.…</p>

<p>Have to agree with Ya there. I have always been such a fan of the Doors, and especially Jim Morrison. His quotes are still part of my life at times. He always had a thought to make everyone think.</p>

<p>You might think I'm crediting Morrison more than I am. The Doors would be nothing without musicians. Jim does not BY NO MEANS make or break the doors. I personally love Manzarek as well:)</p>
<p></p>
<p>As a performer, singing particularly, and someone who just generally has trouble letting lose, I respect and find beauty in any one or anything that isn't afraid to just..be. (Probably not the "good" you were looking for.) Jim has that quality which I strive for& is hard to come by.…</p>

<p>I think everyone can agree, that was a mess. Haha.</p>
<p>It just doesn't shake me. I have to much appreciation, and personal connection with his lyrics, vocals, and stage presentation. What most people might see as a train wreck, I perceive as free. I think Jim's freedom is sort of beautiful. Even if its nonsense or goes on the offensive side. </p>
<p></p>
<p>But, I totally get why some people don't care for the doors, and only see Morrison as a joke. </p>

<p>Well..I'm pretty openly a huge Doors fan. I've definitely established that here on CRN. </p>
<p> I'm with you. Jim Morrison=greatest front man. About his writing: I understand where some people might say he's overrated or that there's not much substance there. But lyrics are subjective. What's total crap to one man could really bring perspective, and inspiration to another. Jim's writing does so for me. About his vocals: I'm pretty much in love with his voice. haha. Seriously…</p>

<p>Yeah, and all of the Doors were seriously intellectual chaps, they would have done well elsewhere, they weren't just Jim's backing band. Listen to the drum fills on When the music's over. The drums are acting like punctuation marks for the words. Robbie Krieger is being Hubert Sumlin, never a bad thing. Ray is being himself, and who the fuck ever played the organ like that?</p>

<p>Right. Jim's poetry was pretty awful. And I fucking love Jim, ask me any question about him, I'll tell ya. Patti Smith wrote much better stuff on her Horses album. She is a huge Doors fan. Poetry and lyrics are not the same thing at all. Being a frontman is about engaging your audience as well as vocal quality. And if you are going to use those criteria, how could you really argue with - Freddie Mercury? To be honest it is not a question that can be answered, people get so annoyed with what…</p>

To be honest it is not a question that can be answered, people get so annoyed with what the other says, and nobody is right, they are just different! Standing on the shoulders of giants - Jim started baiting the audience and asking if they wanted to see his cock, Iggy took it to it's logical conclusion and started trying to beat hell's angels over the head like a baton with his!

Thanks Mike, I enjoyed reading your article. I disagree with you Amstell, Morrison had a great voice. Singing or speaking, I can listen to it for hours. He was a very unhappy man with a lot of problems, but never a joke. Greatest frontman, I agree, but it was The Doors, never Jim Morrison and The Doors
