My question would be why do we worship someone simply for becoming famous. Do we worship the world's best electrician?
No, because we never heard of him and are not moved emotionally by his precise and very necessary work.
But a musician, in the right place and time is somehow extra special.



You answered your own question with your contrasting point of not being able to move people emotionally....
When musicians put together something "magical" that invokes the emotions of others, it becomes a staple....
Fame doesn't hurt to getting a wider audience....

here's a great interview:
http://archives.waiting-forthe-sun.net/Pages/Interviews/JimInterviews/TenYearsGone.html

Quote:
Jim said, "I think people resist freedom because they're afraid of the unknown. But that unknown was once very well known - its where our souls belong. The only solution is to confront them - confront yourself - with the greatest fear imaginable. Expose yourself to your deepest fear. After that, fear has no power, and fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You ARE free."

I asked what he meant by "freedom."

He said, "The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade your senses for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on an individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him - unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him."



i think he fucked up badly at some points, but still he was a very interesting guy. Not only because he was worshipped so much, but also because of who he was.
I like to think that he knew full well what he was doing (also in the crazy moments) just to make some kind of statement of his life. You know, life as art.
But that's a really romantic view, and probably bullshit :p
so, my answer i guess, is: flawed genius

he was a genius, but still a human one.

A genius taking a shit on the toilet is more interesting than the all of the accumulated works of the world's simpletons. Just remember that, Jim Morrison detractors.

(I know this thread is kind of old, but I came across it as a similar thread from the recent thread on poets).

The author of the article in the initial post seems extremely jealous of Jim Morrison.  That was the impression that I got, at least.

Some people worship actors, and some worship musicians. Some worship in a church...  Jim as a person of responsability, NO. Would you trust him to babysit your children. I wouldn't!  I saw the doors in concert several times, even though I never was a big fan. One time he sang a whole set on his ass leaning against the stage, because he was very drunk. He had many faults, and was probably manic.----------------------------------But; He was probably a very nice guy, and the four guys in the doors together became very influential in the pop market. Jim's poems would have never seen the light of day with out the music, and the music was nothing with out Jim. The doors were pioneers, like it or not.-------------------------------
