Why Jim?

[ensenada]

What makes jim special to you? give a brief reason of many....

To me the thing i like about jim is that he did his own thing. he wasn't afraid to be different. he was very intellectual and yet acted like a normal bloke...hegot drunk, he was loud mouthed. but he could also be quiet, reflective, poetic and charming....
many people wear masks of what they want people to see them as. I admire people who just do what and be who they wanna be....jim is one of em.

he also never sold out.....he had great integrity that has to be admired. in a material world, he wasn't drawn in by material charms and he wasn't greedy, especially in that career and industry...

You nailed it in your post Rick.......I always admired his voice but as I learned more I was to admire him more for his quiet integrity, his commitment to his art, his lack of material greed in as you said an industry that thrives on greed and averice. I love the guy for his poetic heart, even though I think some of his work is utter shit, he never once lost faith in his poetry even if he lost faith with his bandmates.
He was a giant in a world of musical pygmies and to this day strides majestically over the lot of the fuckers......Jim Morrison a TRUE artist once, always and forever......maybe someone should mention this to his three bandmates.....

He was always true to himself and i like and respect him greatly for it.

Jim Morrison is one of the most intriguing human beings ever to walk this earth. Questioning authority- "No limits no laws" His poetry and love of the arts, The Doors for him I think was just a medium he had to go through to get his poetry and thoughts into the minds of others.
After The doors became more and more popular the audiances got larger, And I think he lost that sense of personal freedom over the people. His poetry like everyones,have the good and bad.. and sometimes even the ugly . I know for me. Jim has influenced me to write those crazy thoughts in your mind, even if they didnt make any sense to any one else, some can relate others cannot. There is no stopping to him now.. With fans like us and Forums like this!! He lives on in the hearts of us all, Jim Morrison The man The myth The legend--
