I've listened to them on and off since I was a child and my parents introduced me to them.
I mean what is there to say that hasn't already been said? Jim Morrison was one of the best there ever was, with an incredible voice, presence, and charisma. He was magnetic in every way possible, but what made him stand out was the way his lyrics and performances were so intense and at times even a little unnerving such as Riders on the Storm.
His songs always told very vivid stories and weren't afraid to take you into some dark places, that still resonate decades on. People are Strange in particular is one that really sums up the loneliness epidemic, with this line "women seem wicked when you're unwanted" foreshadowing incel culture quite spectacularly.
I've always been drawn to Jim Morrison as he was kind of a 60s male version of Amy Winehouse, or she was a female version of him LOL. In terms of personality, not so much music, of being this incredibly artistic, poetic, intense person, but one who was also sadly taken for a drunken idiot because of their problems. Both are also in the 27 club and there is even a rumor about both faking their deaths. It's a long standing conspiracy about Jim faking his death in Paris, whilst rumors have started popping up about Amy Winehouse faking her death to escape the press and still being alive in Brazil (with some woman having claimed to have met her and been to her house in 2020. She even posted the full story online. It goes without saying I desperately want that to be true, but yeah not convinced.)
Anyway whilst Jim MAY have left us at 27 as a wise man David Ten Inch once said some do more in 20 years than others do in 80 and he certainly left behind a great body of work.
