hanging out etc.....

I think Morrison was "hanging out" in Miami. Don't know if any Stones were there. LOL

Mick checked Jim out found him "boring" maybe because Jim adored Brian and kept asking about him. Nevertheless, Mick udes Jims image and changed to an "American Mick" in 1968. Based on Brian too of course.

The early Doors played "Little red rooster" (a UK #1 for the Stones in 1964).

Brian died 2 July 1969 in his swimming pool.
Jim wrote some poems about Brian's death and then drowned exactly 2 years later 2 July 1971 in his bathtub.

Cn:s words seem fair ´nuff.
LA also are there sniffin. Scotty´s also on the spot.
Hangin out...

He was hangin out with Iggy & soon-to-be-Alice Cooper.

They sooner were competitors than something else.
Cant compare the superficial greedy Jagger
with sensitive & self-pitiful Morrison.

...But its a striking fact Jimbo was born
ten days before Keith, same year...
Not as striking as Keith/Bobby, but anyway...

Densmore is a Sagittarius too.

JIM MORRISON


Ode to L.A., while thinking of Brian Jones



I´m resident of a city
They´ve just picked me to play
the Prince of Denmark
Poor Ophelia
All those ghosts he never saw
Floating to doom on an iron candle

Come back, brave warrior
Do the dive
on another channel
Hot buttered pool
Where´s Marrakesch
Under the falls
the wild storm
where savages fell out
in late afternoon
monsters of rhythm

You´ve left your
Nothing
to compete with
Silence

I hope you went out
smiling
like a child
into the cool remnant
of a dream

The angel man
with serpents competing
for his palms
& fingers
Finally claimed
This
Soul

Ophelia

leaves, sodden
in silk

chlorine
dream

mad stifled
Witness

The diving board,
the plunge
The pool

You were a fighter
a damask musky muse

You were the bleached
Sun
for TV afternoon

horned-toads
maverick of a yellow spot

Look now to where it´s got
You
in meat heaven
with the cannibals
& jews

The gardener
found
the body rampant, floating

Lucky Stiff
What is this green pale stuff
you´re made of?

Poke holes in the goddess
skin

Will he stink
Carried heavenward
thru the halls
of music

no chance.
Requiem for a heavy

That smile
that porky satyr´s
leer
has leaped upward

into the loam

Hey,

MLC

Bad boys bad boys... At least one of ´em in the Doors.
He sure was no nut for me.

And MCDDTLC, tell ´em!!

There is a photo of Jim watching Brian somewhere in the States before the Doors were formed. He adored Brian.

Jim Morrison hanging out with Alice Cooper, -what a difference in vision and quality, although Alice Cooper is quite good!

After watching The doors, Mick Jagger once said, "nice lads, but they played too long."

According to Alice, he and Jim were pretty good friends. Drinking buddies is probably more accurate. The bands hung out together in LA around 1970.
Desperado, off of Alice's KILLER album, is about Jim and Alice always dedicates that tune in concert to Jim.

And DGA; why dont you tell the new dudes
about when you attended a Doors gig.....

About five years ago I was sent a lengthy e-mail that purported to be from a book entitled "High Spirits in the Countercultural Frat House: A Secret History of Jim Morrison". The excerpt I was sent tells about the time that Morrison supposedly visited Nellcote during the recording of "Exile". First of all, it can't be ALL true; too many exact quotes for anybody to believe. Secondly, an internet search of the book's title turns up nothing, not even on Amazon. Thirdly, true or not, it's an absolutely hilarious read, including incidents of projectile vomitting by both Jimbo and Gram Parsons. I may still have the e-mail; I can search my archives for it. If I find it, I can scan it and try and post it. However, it's about eight pages long- maybe too long to post. Any rules about length, BV? Anyway, has anybody else ever read this, or at least heard about it?

Hi Baboon Bro. I don't really understand what your comment means? I only know about that because I'm a huge Alice fan and he mentions Jim and the Doors alot in interviews. I saw Alice in concert a couple months ago and, again, he dedicated Desperado to Jim.

Sorry DGA!! REally!
I´m really Off tonite.
I confused you with MCDDTLC... So sorry!

Here's some of it:

Hey c-prim, after a peek i´d say this is steamin´.

This is actually the Nellcote part here:


[www.geocities.com]

It's quite obviously fan fiction, but it's fun.

I first came across that Exile piece on this board about 3 or 4 years ago; hilarious and done quite lovingly. The idea that Jim gave them the title 'Exile On Main Street' is almost believable as it sounds very Morrisonesque.

Another slight link is Nico who slept first with Brian and then Jim (maybe because she'd slept with Brian).

in bill wymans book, stone alone

he said the stones went to see doors once, and that they all thought the doors were boring and that morrison was just another jagger wannabe

very believable

Nope, he wasnt another Mick wannabe, Mick took his style and went from British pop idol to American rock idol after Jim Morrison. Jim had his own style, Mick has borrowed from everyone, it's his own style now, but he didnt have the same approach at all.

Noone that knows anything about the subject can call James Douglas
Morrison a wannabe whatsoever. His influences were Baudelaire, Rimbaud,
Blake, Shakespeare, and Friedrich Nietzsche:
I doubt Jagger was into them along the years 1965-67 when Doors formed their image. His stage act was sooner formed by Greek drama & other classical
influences plus other sources that I as a layman dont know.

I think Morrison may have borrowed some of Jagger's highly sexualised stage moves and persona, possibly unconsciously. He was much more macho though (eg. the all black leather look) whereas Jagger always combined the wilder macho attitude with a campy androgyny. I can't see that Mick really borrowed much from Morrison except possibly a more serious political counter-culture edge in '69.

No, they´re like Day & Night.
And I dont think Morrison was 'macho', just himself.
That´s probably whats Jagger is too.
