People are strange
Well, now I have an earworm.
Ah well... I'll just have to listen to that album.

hi David sorry i could not get past the first few lines, your post is so light as to be hardly visible to me.
I say report the bug if you can
Probably so.Yup! It's a great song.
I'm a pretty big fan of The Doors. The following may ruin The Doors for some folks..
If Jim Morrison survived, he would be a lounge singer on the Vegas strip.
His vocals and lyrics would suit the environment.
Also, I wonder what his drunken antics would have been if they'd already invented the wireless microphone. I think he would have been the musician who invented crowd surfing.
He was kind of a jackass. If I'd been in the band, I'd have eventually punched him in the mouth a few times.
By now, he'd have a string of divorces and spent all of his money. He'd probably be living in a run-down house, or maybe just living in a hotel room - and not even a very good hotel room. It'd be a hotel closer to the outskirts of the city. As much as he'd squandered his money, so too had he squandered his relationships - leaving him friendless and alone.
At any rate, even his antics would be fitting for his lounge act. Use this song as an example, but picture him on the stage in Vegas. It shouldn't be too hard to picture this. Well, I have no trouble picturing it. It just seems like a logical conclusion to his life and legacy.
I'm pretty convinced that he'd be a lounge singer today. I picture him up there, eyes closed and swaying to the music while singing The Crystal Ship. His act would surely end with 'The End' and he'd do two shows a night. Sometimes, he'd take an overweight older lady back to his hotel room but he'd no longer be able to 'perform'.
He'd go to sleep with the aid of sleeping pills and whiskey, hoping to keep the nightmares away.
Jim Morrison wouldn't have wanted it any other way.
Tombstone head, a graveyard mind
Just 22, I don't mind dying
Rode around the town with a rattlesnake whip
Come on, baby, don't give me no lip
So did Brian Jones, Kurt Cobain and Amy Weinhouse. 27 Club.Coincidentally, Hendrix and Joplin also died at the age of 27.
While it was a cover (a fairly rare thing for The Doors), he had this to say on the matter:

He did make it to 27 years of age.

Probably so.
Seems as though some of the performers of those times were destined to their own demise lived hard and fast and died.
I know I did my share of drugs and drinking before I got married it was just part of the times.
I could break something
I did my share of hell raising in my younger days when you're supposed to and had a blast.
And Jim Morrison? There may be more Doors' fans here and I don't want to insult anyone.
