"Entertainment good ir bad is one thing but an icon for "global warming"? Ahead of his time on "global warming"? Come on. GET REAL!?"

He did have some interesting things to say regarding society's evolution.

Are you referring to THIS?

"Among the most interesting include his days at UCLA's film school and the repercussions of his indecent exposure charge in Miami, as well as his subsequent impressions of the American justice system. Morrison's comments are immensely thoughtful as he laboriously contemplates answers and reactions in what becomes a dialogue. Both Stevenson and the assignment photographer Kurt Ingham quiz Morrison about his labelmates the Stooges and other burgeoning boundary-pushing bands. In a macabre turn in the conversation, Morrison speaks about the concurrent passings of Canned Heat's Al Wilson, Janis Joplin, and Jimi Hendrix. While he doesn't go so far as casting stones at his late contemporaries, he does present somewhat philosophical explanations that lead him to discuss his own mortality. Morrison muses that he "hopes [his passing occurs] at about age 120 with a sense of humor and a nice comfortable bed," adding, "I wouldn't want anyone around, I would just want to quietly drift off." In less than nine months, he would do just that. This single-disc volume is available exclusively through the Doors' own website at www.thedoors.com. ~ Lindsay Planer, All Music Guide"

That's all that website had to say.

Care to be more specific.

Having moved on and grown up, I fail to find him insightful.

What is a pity is that he wasted his life. He was a dreamer. He had questions but no answers. His life evolved around, sex, drugs and rock and roll. LISTEN to the lyrics of his popular songs - you'll see that theme.
