Well done, Lazz!

 

Strong images both the two. They well set Jim Morrison on his complexity. He, as the other three Doors, was a man of good culture, he read a lot. And the songs were a way to show the hardness of being young on those years. They were years not of changing, too hard is to change the system but of taken of conscience of the problem. Morrison knew that the world was wrong because it was blind but at the same time he knew how impossible was to change it. The Oliver Stone's movie has misunderstanding Jim Morrison, it stops at the first level presenting him just as a rock star addicted to alcool and drugs.

 

The name Doors comes only indirectly from William Blake, it comes instead directly from the Aldous Huxley's book "The doors of perception", 1954, about mescaline and its effects on the human perception.

 

In few months, from 1970 to 1971, we had lost Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix and Jim Morrison because of abuse of alcool and drugs. I will never accept it as a good thing but the same is wrong to say that they were only a kind of perverted. They were suffering the wrongness of a system.

 

Oliver Stone's movie don't show this, your two images do it clearly.

 

Well done, Lazz.
