Five To One
I just finished reading 'No One Here Gets Out Alive' - a biography of Jim Morrison by Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugerman. It was a great read and of course I've been revisiting the Doors' music in my collection, and rediscovering the poetry in the lyrics and the theatrical nature of the music itself.
When I saw the Oliver Stone movie I found Jim to be a bit unpredictable. That was when I was an uncertain 16 year old, and I guess after reading the book, in which he's portrayed much more endearingly, I can see that that was his point. And what a ladies' man!
Or just another lost angel?

To be fair though, he did come across as an insufferably pretentious nob, but the Doors music was heavenly. (even Soft Parade, which is most underrated).
I was in Melbourne again last week (late Jan 06) and this image was still there... just a bit faded.
