Originally dressed in leather pants, white poet's shirt, boots, and indian belts...Jim was a shaman of music. His poetic words mixed with the hypnotic rhythm of music created the trademake of the Doors. What he offered his audience was an experience, connecting spirituality and song together. As their music progressed from 1967 to 1971, Jim was the changling. His style, lyrics, and attitude moved with each album and personal influence. Yes, he did acid, smoked, drank, and had his share of women, but such is the life of a rock star. Some sprinkle his name with the word "legend." One thing is for sure, there will never be another Jim Morrison or a band like the Doors.
It was their music which really changed my life for I was and still am amazed at their quality and dynamics. I began to look deeper into music, really studying the ones which needed that attention, and feeling it inside. With much honesty, I can say I am stuck in the past. For the most part, I only listen to older music. As time continues on, we move further away from these creations.
