Or is it just hype because he is well, Jim Morrison?

Don't be jealous, Jimi. You were both awesome.

Always seemed like drug induced nonsensical rambling to me but I guess others will call it genius.

Within the framework of his time, I'd say he was "good". However, the unpopular truth is that his writing wasn't a whole lot different than his contemporaries.

Why would anyone call Jim Morrison a great poet?

People are strange

The left has tried to write national policy based on the ramblings if men like him.

Think about that.

Oh and this fricking guy




They actually think they’re visionaries.

His lyrics are on par with Beto's cow poems.

No. He was just a normal dude on drugs writing shitty lyrics. Then he tried to pull the "I'm deep" card and a bunch of dipshits fell for it. Then he ended up fat and died. And that's it. This is the end.

You should be required to present this before each of your posts. As soon as you post what you just did, you lose all credibility.



ETA:

A quick look at your posting history and I almost feel bad for calling you a retard.

No,

Morrison was nothing without The Doors, and they were nothing without him.

My reading of his biography 30 years ago left me with the impression that he was an immature self absorbed prick.
