wow!
That clip of Morrison is completely surreal. Completely ignoring the KJ
connection I've always liked that band a great deal. Jim Morrison had a
fucking awesome voice, no question, and the band had a bunch of great songs over
their short history.
However, these positive points are continually diminished by the
following things;
1) People who refer to Morrison as a great poet . Sorry, I don't think
so.
2) Ray Manzarek using any excuse to milk the bands legacy for yet a
couple more bucks.
That celebrity Doors reunion thing with the celebrity guest singers
that happened a couple of years ago was conspicuous in the way that everyone
that sang on it SUCKED . It just went to show that back in the day before there
was loads of technology available to salvage dodgy singing, the choices
were either 1) you can cut it, or 2) you CAN'T.
Morrison definitely had a gift, and he squandered it.
The isle of wight film has his last performance, which was done a
couple of weeks or so before he died, and they do that song "The End", and it's
pretty prophetic, to say the least.
Later, Carl P.
