True. And I may very well be wrong in my opinion of Jim Morrison, by assuming that being a Rocker as he was, that his political persuasion would likely be just the opposite of most of us on Free Republic.
It's no secret around here that I am an old codger and must confess to a love hate relationship with hard Rock. Most of what I know about it I learned through my youngest son,born in 1956 and was growing up during those years. Over time we tended to compromise, mostly for our mutual survival, and learned to appreciate some of his Rock and he grudgingly admitted that not all country sucked.
He is a little more conservative himself these days, maybe I will discuss this with him the next time we talk.
Many people don't know that Jim Morrison's father was the youngest Admiral in the history of the US Navy. His home was very conservative and conventional.
People who come from such homes, more often than not, settle into middle age far more conservative than their 20-something esapades would seem to indicate.
Take the mascara-wearing, theatre-of-the-bizarre Alice Cooper as a good example.
He set the standard for "shock rock" and bands still try to emulate him to this day, yet he is as conservative as the day is long.
His favorite pastime is playing *golf*, fer cryin' out loud....:))
And then there's Ted Nugent.
If I live to be a hundred, I'll never forget my first sight of the long-haired, nearly naked, breechclout-wearing maniac screaming onstage.
He's so right-wing it's scary.
Gene Simmons, the blood-spouting, fire-breathing "demon bat" of KISS is a staunch political conservative who believes that -everyone- should have guns and use them when necessary.
Rock is full of surprises....:)
