Celebration of the Lizard King

Most people recognize Jim Morrison as a rock n roll legend. Other people see him as a great poet. But there are also some people that think of him as a drug-using alcoholic. I recognize Jim Morrison as a great influence on the youth of America. It is not the things he had done, like consuming large quantities of alcohol or causing riots that helped me to come to this belief. It had a lot more to do with the things he said. Having listened to some of Morrisons lyrics, and reading some of his poetry I found myself lost in deep thought. There is something about his choice of words and his style of writing.

Several months after the band started playing, they were discovered by Columbia Records. An agent introduced the “Ravens” to a guitar player named Robby Krieger. From this moment on these four young men would be known as The Doors.

officer, which caused the Morrison family to move around a lot. Some people think that this fact lead to the unique way Jim spoke his mind. According to the research that I have done it is a mystery as to why Morrison would lie about the whereabouts of his family. In many of his poems and lyrics he refers to lost and confused children. For example, a poem from his first published book, An American Prayer, called, Dawns Highway, Morrison writes, “Ghosts crowd the young child’s fragile eggshell mind.”
