    Jim will always be a legend. A handsome man, intelligent, a performer and above everything, a poet. Never will we see again such an artist with so much charisma.

      I think that's what Oliver Stone tried to convey in THE DOORS - Jim as a mythic figure.
      The fans who complain about ' innacuracies ' totally miss the point.

      I became a Doors fan in the early 80's when I was in college. It was kind of a rebirth for them and they became very popular after being almost forgotten. A friend of mine lent me Danny Sugarman's book, No One Here Gets Out Alive, 1980. I read it in a couple of days and soon had purchased all of the Doors albums that I could find. What a great band.

    I’m 70 and love the Doors music. I was 18 when Morrison died. They really weren’t that popular then. A few of their last shows only attracted two or three thousand kids. I remember some radio guy playing LA Woman in 1970 and cutting the song off when Morrison was just getting into his Mojo Rising screaming fit. The dude on the radio said, ‘OK, we’ve had enough of that,’ and just cut the song off, without finishing it.
