Jim Morrison
1943-1971
(Original Elekrta Records bio, 1967)
You could say it's an accident that I was ideally suited for the
work I am doing. It's the feeling of a bowstring being pulled
back
for 22 years and suddenly being let go. I am primarily an
American, second, a Californian, third, a Los Angeles resident.
I've always been attracted to ideas that were about revolt
against
authority. I like ideas about the breaking away or overthrowing
of
established order. I am interested in anything about revolt,
disorder, chaos--especially activity that seems to have no
meaning.
It seems to me to be the road toward freedom--external revolt is
a
way to bring about internal freedom. Rather than starting inside,
I start outside--reach the mental through the physical.
I am a Sagittarian--if astrology has anythind to do with it--the
Centaur--the Archer--the Hunt--But the main thing is that we are
The Doors.
We are from the West/The whole thing is like an invitation to the
West
The sunset This is the end
The night
The sea
The world we suggest is of a new wild west. A sensuous evil
world.
Strange and haunting, the path of the sun, you know?
Toward the end. At least for our first album
We're all centered around the end of the zodiac.
The Pacific/violence and peace/the way between young and the
old.
