“Expose yourself to your deepest fear; after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free.”
~ Jim Morrison 12/8/43 – 7/3/71

What? What’s wrong with
Hey baby I’m worth it
Oh yah I’m worth it
Hey baby I’m worth it
Oh yah I’m worth it
It’s okay, I slapped myself.
LOL nah just add music and it’s gold!
‘You know the day destroys the night
Night divides the day
Tried to run
Tried to hide
Break on through to the other side’
That’s only my favorite song of all! That, and People are Strange 🙂
I think that Strange Days might be the best doors album, from cover art to production and of course the songs. Most people are all over the first album, but the opening notes of ‘People are Strange’, the inimitable swooping guitar of Moonlight Drive, it’s awesome. My only issue now I’m a grownup is that there are too many songs addressed to ‘girl’. (My first version of it was someone’s hand-me-down vinyl lp, and iirc for some reason it was missing at least one song that’s found on the other versions of the album. I think that the song is ‘Unhappy Girl’).
BTW, did you intentionally write these posts or make the paintings because it was the anniversary of Morrison’s death?
My Instagram was filled with Jimbo’s pics so I figured I’d do it my own way and draw him, and then write the posts 🙂 it’s like a production lol
Without even realizing that it was July 3 (which my aunt and uncle would always spend talking and arguing about Jim’s death or non-death) I got so inspired that I read at John Densmore’s forum, and then all the reviews and author interviews of a book about Jim’s college years that I could find. It was a nice way to commemorate him, even if unintentionally. (FTR I felt really badly when Ray died, although in recent years I felt he was really selling out).
I didn’t realize he died on that day either but it was a nice way to remember him since I’d been playing the Doors’ live album that morning 🙂
