Affected 'poetry' + ridiculous carnival organ = bad idea

I don't think that word means what you think it means (*grin*). Maybe you meant that you never believed Morrison's affectation as a poet. It isn't hard to be a poet though, just publish a book of poetry or two (which this guy did). All that aside though, while this song is a great jam, the lyrics are to me poetry defined ... " Literary work in which special intensity is given to the expression of feelings and ideas by the use of distinctive style and rhythm." So if The Wasp isn't poetry, then neither is this:
because i love you)last night
clothed in sealace
appeared to me
your mind drifting
with chuckling rubbish
of pearl weed coral and stones;
lifted,and(before my
eyes sinking)inward,fled;softly
your face smile breasts gargled
by death:drowned only
again carefully through deepness to rise
these your wrists
thighs feet hands
poising
to again utterly disappear;
rushing gently swiftly creeping
through my dreams last
night,all of your
body with its spirit floated
(clothed only in
the tide's acute weaving murmur

Great segue from Escape Club's "God's Own Radio."
This one still works for me, though not as powerfully as in the past.

There are a lot of good Doors songs out there. Unfortunately, this isn't one of them.

He seems really to be under a kilo of cocaine in this song. But differently as from
"The End", this song is real crap. As bad as can be.

Rarely has a band gone so far on so little. The Doors were at their best when they played rock n' roll. Manzarek and Kreiger worked well together. But when Morrison tried to "open everyone's eyes" with his sophomoric ramblings, the Doors missed the mark. Way overblown band. But Ray Manzarek was obviously one of the best at what he did.

I am shocked, revolted, disturbed, about the response of listeners to The Doors in RP.
In a way I understand...because The music of The Doors was not very popular between women and the guy community and a lot of listeners in RP belong to those 2 groups

Jim verbally agreed to change the words prior to the show, but because it was LIVE, he sang the song EXACTLY as it was originally written. Nothing Sullivan could do but refuse to have them back.

I am in agreement here - i was listening to American Prayer, which happens to be a very dope album, but after about 47 times hearing it, it has dawned on me that Morrison is as deep as schmegma. some lyrics are excellent, but most are the drunken ramblings of a self-indulgent crackerjack. |

No song has had the impact of Light My Fire the First time it came over the radio. Regretably, most of their work has not aged well. This song, however, is still JM at his most gravelly awesome.
