The Doors

[GulDukat]

I do like the Doors' music though I think Jim Morrison is an overrated icon. I don't think that movie Oliver Stone did about the band is very good at all. In fact, I think it's one of the worst films ever made. I did read Ray Manzerek's book back in the 1990s which was way more interesting than what Stone did. I really liked what the band did on albums like the first one, Morrison Hotel, and L.A. Woman.

The movie portrayed Morrison as a caricature. He wasn't jumping on cars, proclaiming to be the Lizard King, acting like some of of messianic prophet, 24/7. He was a dude that was possibly mentally ill, liked to drink, do drugs and put on a show.
