More about this Product
As lead singer and lyricist for The Doors, Jim Morrison made the most of his short life, inspiring fans with his truthful writing and relaxed, authentic vocal style. A psychedelic rocker with a poetic soul, Morrison was a connoisseur of all things new and offbeat, experimenting with everything from Nietzsche to the bohemian underworld of California
'I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then - woosh, and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like it ever again, and they won't be able to forget me - ever.'
Although originally shy as a lead vocalist, Morrison emerged as a powerful performer. He went to great lengths to elicit a reaction from his audience, destroying musical equipment and indulging in a variety of drugs and alcohol onstage.
The Doors became myth-makers, the group who sang about sex, doom, the revolution and death, and Jim a performer of enormous capabilities. With his picture on the cover of practically all teen magazines in America, and heralded 'The King of Acid Rock', 'The King of Orgasmic Rock', 'The Ultimate Barbie Doll' and 'The Lizard King' Jim was every girl's dream and every boy's self-image.
