Was there any girl that didn't have a Doors (or Morrison) poster back then? It almost seemed like that was something handed out at school as part of a required home decor assignment.

I also feel like a lot of people liked Morrison because everyone else did. On a trip to Paris, my wife and I thought about visiting his grave...and then immediately thought better of it. "Roadhouse Blues" is great, and I had "LA Woman" playing in my head while reading this. But after that? Meh.

P.S. Is Massachusetts vs. Connecticut really a "thing?"

P.P.S. That movie was interminable.

Great pitch from CJ and I completely agree with Ken's response. Having just recently re-read "No One Here Gets Out Alive" myself, for the first time since high school, it's spot on how your view of Jim's ridiculousness changes with age. In high school, we all thought he was an artist with near God-like status. As a grizzled and cranky adult, he just a petulant child who does what he wants and drives his friends and lovers crazy doing it. I'm still a fan of the band and this album, though I actually prefer the previously mentioned "Waiting for the Sun". Great read this week, gentlemen!
