Just about a pop song today
I have been listening to The Doors a lot lately. I think Morrison was interesting even if personally tragic.
I had an idea when young that there is an important difference between the simple and the simplistic. I consider Morrison’s lyrics simple but not simplistic. He seemed to have been very smart but confused by women, fame, booze, and drugs.
Have already blogged about Morrison’s two anti-war songs, “The Unknown Soldier” and “The End.” I also like “L.A. Woman.” I think it has to do with the idea that young people rely on Hollywood movies and frankly sometimes Southern California porn to get by. “L.A. woman’s going to have to do.” Whether she is I guess most of men have to decide.
