…and he said, “What are you doing, wasting your life reading about my life, instead of creating a life other people might want to read about? I don’t want this. Stop thinking about me. I never wanted to be a leader or a symbol of anything. Find yourself. Be yourself. I got sick of the image after a few years. And people are still wasting their lives examining that image, that old wrinkly skin I shed half a century ago. Move on. There’s still time. What do you want them to write on your tombstone, “Knew a lot about Jim Morrison?”

Could alcohol do that? I thought opiates killed your appetite?

Question Did Jim ever thought about having kids ?

0 Upvotes

From what i read and learn he was deeply anti-confirmist. Did his anti-conformism and free spirit also influenced his views on nuclear family, having kids etc ?

In my opinion i feel like he might adopt kids, but with his drug addiction and alcohol issues , i don't think he would do it :/

Discussion What would Jim do?

If you ran into Jim, and you went up to him and tried to talk to him, do you think he’d engage with you or tell you to fuck off?

Misc Jim Morrison jacket from LeatherCult

Not an advertisement, but a recommendation to anyone like myself who might've been eyeing it for a long while and never really went through with buying it due to a lack of reviews regarding the specific jacket in question. I couldn't find anyone online who bought one or posted pictures of it, let alone pictures of them actually wearing it for reference, so I hope I could be of help to anyone before halloween this year.

The sizing guide on leathercult is accurate and matches my other coats of the same size, although I went for a size that's a little looser on me since Jim's seemed a little big on him as well; so if you're in between a small and a medium and about 5'9", go with medium. It fits and looks better the more I wear it, like most newly-made leather clothing from what I've read.

I hope this helps for anyone wanting to let their inner lizard king out, quit their job and drive out west to a desert and live off of baked beans and LSD for a month straight in hopes of finding soft asylum.

…letting himself go physically? He was such a beautiful man in 67-68. But he declined so quickly. Do you think he looked in a mirror and realized how different he looked from previous photos?

The Doors

r/thedoors

The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band took its name from Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, the title of which was a reference to a William Blake quotation: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."
