Behind door No. 1 - Jim Morrison.

How come sexy isn't on the list?

I personally like "Jim Morrison was an outlaw" - that's just as good as sexy.

I think he was the kind of person where most of the above was true, all at once.

-Jim Morrison was the Lizard King.

-He died like the bloated Elvis.

-But most of all

Jim was Jim.

Listen to his voice and forget the bad poetry and feel the insane rush.

Go to his grave in Paris and watch the people waiting on line. I've done this, but I'm not amazed that he still has such a following.

Listen to him singing and you'll know why.

Jim Morrison is a true spirit

... a pompous douchebag.

I like this post a lot, UAO. This is really clever, creative researching. You should do this with other famous figures -- fascinating stuff. I would seriously read a blog of just these kind of search results and people interpreting them.

Here were my favorites -- sheer brilliance, unlike what I said:

Jim Morrison was an Apollo posing as a Dionysus. (Camille Paglia wants your babies, whoever wrote this, probably to eat.)

Jim Morrison was an awful poet. (Same thing as "an American poet?" Discuss.)

Jim Morrison was an avowed John Bircher who used to write anti-jewish poems
for closeted homosexual reactionary republican youth groups in the early sixties (Is this true?)

Jim Morrison was an idiot-hippie-wastoid

Jim Morrison was an artist (Simple and open-ended. Very Zen.)

Jim Morrison was an adolescent demi-god (True.)

The worst ones possible:

Jim Morrison was an existentialist writer

Jim Morrison was an influence for Cobain. (Um, no, other than they died.)

Jim Morrison was an "Askesis" poet. (I want to go break this person's bong.)

Jim Morrison was an avenging angel (I want to break this person's glasses.)

Jim [Morrison] was an electric shaman (I want to go break this person's neck.)

That is all.

Thanks Bob A. Booey, I'm a fan of your work around here, too. You have a knack for cutting to the heart of the matter with admirable wit and aplomb.

As for your picks here, I pretty much agree, although "Jim Morrison was an inept monkey" was also among my favorites.

One eerie thing that was pointed out to me, that I completely missed when I posted it: every single one of these descriptives begin with vowels. Yet, those really are the exact real search results; I didn't skip a single one.

What are the odds of that? Why didn't anyone say "Jim Morrison was sexy" or "Jim Morrison was a boozehound" or "Jim Morrison was a Bertold Brecht fan" or something?

Weird.

oo-ee-oo

jim morrison was an annunaki

That vowel thing is right up there with the Lincoln / Kennedy connections...

There are a lot of dubious claims about Jimbo up there, but this one,

Jim Morrison was an interesting and talented wordsmith.

Well, that's just ridiculous.

Driver where you taking us?

Perhaps...

Jim Morrison was a highly overrated pop singer pretending to be a deep artiste.

Listening to Jim Morrison live or recordings of his poetry, is like listening to a drunk sluring his words: they might be high art to him, but gibberish to anyone else.

Jim Morrison was a blithering babboon babbeling grabled druken nonsense

Jim Morrison was the best crooner to come along since Frank Sinatra.

Uptight Sinatra, on that comparison alone, must be rolling over in his grave.

Gypsyman; you non-spelling freak; it is actually; slurring and drunken; but besides that little spelling ed, uhm, Jim Morrison was an enigma unto himself. Don't F*ck with the dead artists, they can come visit, ya know...

- Jim Morrison was risque (right on)
- Jim Morrison was ahead of his time
- Jim Morrison was a genius (IQ 149)
- Jim Morrison was the son of the youngest rear admiral in US Navy history (at the time)
- Jim Morrison was published in 1989
- Jim Morrison was a voracious reader
- Jim Morrison was an upper middle class southern conservative
- Jim Morrison was his own worst enemy
- Jim Morrison was beautiful

and...

- Jim Morrison was extremely articulate

Should Jim come back, some of you up there will get a verbal beating that will haunt you forever.

:O)

What the hell are peoples problems?
I mean why do they insult the doors so?? Maybe they are too retarded to appreciate good music when they hear it.
The Doors is probably one of the greatest bands ever and Jim Morrison was one of the most amazing frontmen.
He was a rock n roll God!

wow, im posting again. Please people!!
Why dont people post very often?
The Doors were amazing. Damn it, Jim Morrison why did you have to go die so young??!!!
All the best ones die, maybe if they hadnt we would all be saved from the shit music around since the mid 90s!!!

Anyway my faves are

When The Musics Over
Celebration Of The Lizard!!

I also LOVE
Moonlight Drive
L.A Woman
break on through (to the other side)
Roadhouse Blues
People Are Strange
Cars Hiss By My Window

He majored in film studies at UCLA, not English.

Speaking of Jim and English class, though, I remember that my 10th grade English grammar book used the term "Morrison Hotel" in an exercise. It was in a group of terms we were supposed to label as proper nouns, adjectives, etc. At the time I thought that was so cool and that some Doors fan at the publishing company had sneaked it into the book.

^^^^^^^^^^^[Personal attack deleted by Comments Editor] YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOUR TALKING ABOUT

some of you are gonna get haunted so bad

i really dont get a lot of doors songs what they mean

JIM MORRISON NEVER EXIST IS ILLUSION

James Morrison of the Doors was an Asshole.
Period end of story!

JIM was who he was. I am beginning to understand why he was a sanctuary within himself- because of all the harsh judgement and criticism. If you do not get Jim- you do not get JIM and you probably will never get Him. Try to put a damper on the negative comments- please be mature, it causes one to think you may be envious of someone so strong, spiritual and lively.

stop saying things like Jim Morrison was an asshole,maybe he was...but,he's fuckin great!

Jim Morrison,is not dead.He's still alive to some people.he was a poet,he was a great one too,his music set people free,he was a wonderful creature,a creative human being.I really appreciate his music,also his existance,he died so young,I ask myself why.god always takes the best ones,i don't think that's fair,but hey...shit happens,we all love James Douglas Morrison,asshole or no asshole:]
R.I.P:]
J.D.M<33333

If you don't like The Doors,Why are you in this page?If you have nothing nice to say why post it in the first place?????,I don't seem to understand why people come here,saying that he was a drunken nonsense,that his music had no meaning to it,those people,are so retarted,so fuckin stupid,it's not even funny,Don't post dumb shit mann,Don't judge him nor his music,JUST FUCK OFF,if all you do is talk shit about people that were gods to others but shit to you!RESPECT!damb people are such idiotss!

Jimbo, as I like to call him, was like a lot of us. He was everything and nothing. Oooooh, deep. No, seriously, he was. Seriously.

Jim Morrison was a prize dickhead ... but a good muso ... when he was conscious

an spirit of rock ppl
to all 'we' 'affected' by this worlds behaviur
so jim had
-voice
-looks
-those eyes
-that hair

n' i have to say, this world is infected so bad, that, we care more for a dead person than ur dad
so if u see it that way
we are all lost

Well said man... Fucking well said.

I think anyone who doesn't appreciate Jim and the Doors are idiots. Jim had everything going for him, ya know. I just wish he would've lived longer. I couldn't imagine what kinda songs we'd have now that he'd be sixty something. And he'd probably still sound and look amazing.

I don't see where some of ya can't find meaning in his songs. It's almost immediate for me. And I just love his voice! I've never heard such a deep voice sound that fucking good! I still can't see that voice coming from him, but I sure don't mind staring at him for awhile trying! He's one of my biggest heroes, and he always will be.

God bless you, Jim. You're one of His angels now.
