Jim Morrison is overloved. The Doors were made great by the South Side's own Raymond Daniel Manzarek.

There's a Blake exhibit at the Block Museum at Northwestern (ending next week) that ties all that Blake and Romanticism ethos to the Hippie stuff in the '60's, with a brief stopover in the 30's. The actual Blake printmaking artifacts are way more interesting that the Rock poster portion, and the tie in's between Blake and Moby Grape becomes more and more tenuous and forced. Blake is a more impressive printmaker than a poet, and a better poet than his name-checking spawn.



You I do not buy as a Doors guy. I am not a Doors guy, but I can't think of a less Doors-y guy than you.

I like "Moonlight Drive." I like "Moonlight Mile" infinitely more.

I think Blake is equally impressive in poetry and visual art. "London" is one of the best short poems in English, and his prophetic works, though a little insane, presage Freud, Nietzsche, and others, while also rejecting almost every convention of form. But yeah, his printmaking has been celebrated more than he would have ever dreamed possible.

One of the wackier people who ever lived.

"Remember me in Africa"

In seventh grade, we were convinced he was living in Africa.

Shine on you crazy diamond if it was a particularly rough night.

Yeah, his prints are pretty amazing but I was a big fan of much of what I read of him. My folks gave me a book about big cats when I was in 3rd or 4th grade and in the tiger section was The Tyger. Didn’t really know much else about him until high school and nothing about the prints until that term paper.

If I lived closer I’d go to that exhibit in a heartbeat.

The Doors were pretty good. Was way into them at one time. Break on Through album version and LA Woman get my vote. You never hear this stuff on FM radio anymore.

They have several but they've never been a band I loved.

"not to touch the earth", "the soft parade", "riders on the storm" and "people are strange" are all pretty close for 1st. can't choose between them for what i'd say is their best. so i'll go with "the end".
