Don't get me wrong. I love the The Doors music. Get a good recording and they flippin' rock man.

I'm ambivalent about musicians and film stars. They can be extremely left or right in politics, but good music or good film is good music or film. I do say that I will refuse to watch those that pontificate too much however, as I can't stand idiots preaching to me.

Matt, I edited, for I thought what I wrote was stupid.
Sorry, I oftenly say craps too.
Being a simple human.
I agree with you, any creation, music movie or whatever is worthy and may be subjected to critizism.
 
No worries my friend. I did not wish to imply that I disagreed with anything you posted. I agreed with you 100%. I think our posts between us got lost in the Franglish translation. It is all good!
 
For the most part, I agree with both of you. My #1 exception is that walking, talking, Hollywood turd Tom Cruise. I will NOT EVER see anything he does. I haven't seen a single movie he has done after Cocktail as that is about the time be became holy-er than thou.

Drug indused lyrics I can understand, but, really? "fire" and "fire"!

Tambourines and elephants are playing in the band.

My favorite (possiblly) drug induced lyrics, "I saw a lion, he was standing alone with a tadpole in a jar."
My position; Can one really be alone if one has a tadpole in a jar?
 
E.A Poe did wrote lyrics ?
Knew Michael Moorcock did for Blue Oyster Cult, but i'm unaware for Poe.

Can understand.
It's ok with me.
So : E.A Poe's french translator, Charles Baudelaire should do the trick in poetry, talent and drugs too.
