Jim Morrison was a provocateur.
He provoked all those around him.
Never satisfied.
Today, we would just call him an A**hole.
Today he would be shout down on College Campuses.
“Today, we would just call him an A**hole.”
It was well known, by all who encountered him that he was mentally ill. Either severe bipolar or schizophrenic.
Maybe both.
Truly a mad genius.
He didn’t know anything about music. Nothing. And would vocalize the parts he wanted the band to play. He would also ask Robby and Ray for cords with certain “sound”. He also wrote the majority of memorable lyrics.
“Let me tell you something. We need a two and a half hour movie about the Doors? Folks, no we don’t. I can sum it up for you in five seconds, ok. I’m drunk. I’m nobody. I’m drunk. I’m famous. I’m drunk. I’m f...... dead. There’s the whole movie, ok!? ‘Big Fat Dead Guy In a Bath Tub’, there’s your title for you.”
