<< > What is this continuing fascination people have with the Doors?
Thank you for this. Jim Morrison was a drunk who wrote bad poetry:
Light my fire/ desire/ pyre --- come ON! god. how many times in that
song does he rhyme "fire" with "fire"? wow.
and the 3-day long organ solo? shoot me in the face. >>
You'll get no argument from me re the Doors being classic rock's most
overexposed band, or much of Morrison's verbiage being overwrought and pretentious.
But the Doors would probably be garage-rock legends if they'd just released
their magnificent debut single "Break On Through" and then broke up. And just
for the record, Robby Krieger wrote "Light My Fire."
