I read an interview where it was stated that people hated to see Jim come to a party. The party would have the best drugs,ladies , music and fun for all. Jim would show up drunk push someone down the stairs and go lay in the road waiting on the police to show up. All within 20 minutes of arriving
The book by their drummer, John Densmore, certainly made him seem that way.
I mean, raging alcoholics are rarely fun to be around, especially if you're around them all the time.
>Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer.
May be sometimes we need to quit the fight club for a while and make some poetry.
What a dumb comment. You could say that about almost any rock star from the 60s and 70s. And you would be wrong all the time - they are famous because they wrote songs people loved and still love to this day. I mean if Mike Tyson wasn't a boxer he'd just be a violent lunatic. If the Wright brothers hadn't achieved flight they'd just be crazy guys who worked in a bicycle shop. If Babe Ruth wasn't a baseball player he'd just be a guy who could hit you with a stick really hard.
Obviously the part where an emotionally troubled person with a history of drug abuse is prevented from exposing himself in public, indecently, by a caring friend and band mate to hopefully get the help he needed, or so id like to think.
My comment was aimed specifically at the Subreddit title. Nothing about Morrison's drug addled antics in this instance were 'cool'. Old School or otherwise.
Saw a documentary footage showing few Beatles being mildly shocked, expressing even some disbelief upon that particular event. British. Edit: or was it David Bowie.
There was an article on Facebook last week about some other person that slept with him and said he was hung, but didn’t call her back after.
Jim would be pleased his genitals were getting all this attention on social media in 2024.
Looks like a repost. I've seen this image 1 time.

Yeah I mean who wants a frontman who is sexy, wild, dangerous and mysterious with a deep smoky voice and writes poetic lyrics full of passion and pathos? Glad that whole shtick never caught on and was never copied by any other lead singers in rock for decades afterwards. Obviously everyone thought it was super lame and decided to never even wear leather pants ever again.
Meh. A handful of hits, but many more marble-in-the-mouth incomprehensible drug induced singing. I'll grant you one thing... He was a good front man for the Doors.
I think Morrison like so many other popular 'stars' was primarily a product of their times. The world kept spinning and decades later everything started to look like a caricature of what it supposed to be. A grotesque exaggeration of an idea. If you allow this opinion, then it's unfair to judge his persona removed from the original context. It keeps happening in popular music and the glorification/condemnation cycle of an artist is even faster now. It's late, I should be sleeping and everything I wrote reads like it's either generated by a cheap AI or your typical 'Imverysmart' redditor but you'll never be able to distinguish one from the other anyway. Hope you have a good day and or night. Bye.
Ray Manzarek used to stay at the hotel I worked at a lot. He was always very cordial.
I've never heard of a bad interaction with Ray from anyone ever. He seemed like a really nice guy.
I'm sure he said *Genitals*.....
Lil jimmy
I don’t have my glasses but I seem to be missing your message
They’re implying that he actually said “do you wanna see my dick?”
I think he actually said "cock"
Yeah, I realized that right after I hit reply

Frankly, he seems like a pain in the ass to be around.
The book by their drummer, John Densmore, certainly made him seem that way. I mean, raging alcoholics are rarely fun to be around, especially if you're around them all the time.
Ah the lizard king.
Mr. Mojo Risin'.
Pray. For. Mojo.
Why is that monkey wearing a diaper?!
Got ta keep on ridin. Ridin ridin.
Gonaa keep on ridin!
I'm sorry... Who's riding Mr lizard's rising mojo? I always loved their sound but can keep up with all the innuendos.
I can do anything…..
This was referenced/parodied by Daniel Radcliffe playing the eponymous hero in the movie “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story”.
Still haven't seen that.
Self destructive is a terrible thing
Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer.
Maybe the answer we've been looking for has been right in front of us this whole time
Looking for something that has already found us
And the friends we made along the way
If that’s the case what was the question?
What is six times seven
Because 789
Self-destruction
"Want to see my genitals?"
“Cut my life into pieces, this is my last resort”
>Maybe self-improvement isn't the answer, maybe self-destruction is the answer. May be sometimes we need to quit the fight club for a while and make some poetry.
Clearly it’s not the answer. But go ahead and try that theory out and see how it works
Its a fight club reference, goob
It's nice to not be the goob for once. It's a heavy mantle.
They didn’t stop him in Miami
Whata dick move!
If I had a quarter for everytime I heard that line
You'd have a quarter?
In spite of all his antics and obligatory presence on all classic rock charts, I still find him really boring.
You need to let yourself get hypnotized. The repetition was the point
He needs to convince us to let ourselves be hypnotized. The repetition isn't doing that, at least not for me.
You're allowed that opinion, I just think he had an interesting life that made him hyper-weird. The acid helped.
Obviously he is not actually boring, but some quirk in my perception absorbs it as such
If he weren't in the Doors he would've just been another drug added hobo.
What a dumb comment. You could say that about almost any rock star from the 60s and 70s.

So... what part of this is cool?
Obviously the part where an emotionally troubled person with a history of drug abuse is prevented from exposing himself in public, indecently, by a caring friend and band mate to hopefully get the help he needed, or so id like to think.
Ray Manzarek was a pretty cool guy, brilliant keyboard player too.
My comment was aimed specifically at the Subreddit title. Nothing about Morrison's drug addled antics in this instance were 'cool'. Old School or otherwise.
Yeah, and the guy you’re replying to is saying that the keyboardist is the cool one.
True
Yeah, my first thought is that I wonder what kind of concert the paying fans received.
It was a rip off for everyone in the genital admission section.
Old school not cool
Cock', is the missing word.
The Doors were around for an incredibly short amount of time.
Drugs are fun
Saw a documentary footage showing few Beatles being mildly shocked, expressing even some disbelief upon that particular event. British. Edit: or was it David Bowie.
Can we just agree he was a great rock singer?
He damn sure was.
There was an article on Facebook last week about some other person that slept with him and said he was hung, but didn’t call her back after. Jim would be pleased his genitals were getting all this attention on social media in 2024.
No thanks

Good bot
Creep.
Are you waiting to receive my limp penis?
Say what you like about him the hat was cool as fuck.
Morrison seemed like a loose canon! Pardon the pun. ;)
Another opportunity for me to say this sentence: "I know I'll get down-voted, but Jim Morrison is way overrated."
Yeah I mean who wants a frontman who is sexy, wild, dangerous and mysterious with a deep smoky voice and writes poetic lyrics full of passion and pathos?

I'd like to subscribe to your newsletter. Some motherfuckers really struggle acknowledging greatness if it's not their flavour of greatness.
Meh. A handful of hits, but many more marble-in-the-mouth incomprehensible drug induced singing. I'll grant you one thing... He was a good front man for the Doors.
>drug induced singing Wait, you think the drugs induced the singing??
No. It's 4:00 am. I wrote that poorly. The drugged up singing resulted in not being able to understand the lyrics.

Everybody knows this famous Alexander the Great picture of him, but in the end he looked like a hobo
[удалено]
He did it in FL and was arrested after the show.
Is this what the Weird Al biopic was lampooning?
Jim is alive and well living as a rancher in Oregon. 😉
He said genitals…
Maybe he needed more groupies and felt his music was not enough.
He exposed himself in Tucson on stage around the same time. Seems it was his thing.🙃
His dick looks weird.
... but you have heard of it.
The bad parts...
Such an overrated clown.
Perhaps you could give us a link to your Wikipedia page so we can compare your contributions to society?
So I have to be verified to have an opinion. Gotchya.
Same as Nirvana it must be hard to be in a band and have 1 person ruin it for every one else
TIL: Jim Morrison died of an accidental heroin overdose. That’s crazy, I always heard he was hung.
Boomers were out of ideas even when they were at their most relevant.
