Can you imagine Jim's humour in the lyrics for Pink Floyd's The Wall? To me, Jim's lyrics reflect actual human existance much more than the lyrics of the vast majority of rock acts. In fact, I can't think of another writer who can mix the comical with the serious in the way that Jim can. Its in his speeches too. Like in The Guitar Speech when the guy is about to murder his father with a Fender and the father tells him that its no way to treat an expensive musical instrument and then he tells the father that he has a lot to learn about rock and roll. Jim Morrison came up with great speeches but they were deadly serious. Jim can go from deadly serious to comical and back again. There ain't no way that you're going to find a Coup De Ville at the bottom of a Crackerjacks box. | |
