This story is the perfect proof for the importance of encouragement and positive feedback: if Ray Manzarek does not discover him and tell him his opinion, probably I would not write this article. Ray asked him to read out his poems: he discovers his talent and encourages him to continue. The whole story began with a meeting on the beach. He sang about dionysian myths, strange games with strange women on strange days, storms of liberation with a burning voice, with gestures mirroring the impressions of the dignified, dreadful realms of the soul. Who is this oedipusian dead hero called Jim Morrison? An outstanding icon of a whole generation, the king of lizards? Was he a shaman, a mystic, a poet, a musician? Why do we always feel the urge to tag and systematize everything, everybody? One thing is clear: he turned upside down the music industry.
Robbie Krieger and John Densmore joined the band later. In 1965, they established a blues band under the name of Rick & The Ravens. After graduation, he moved to Los Angeles where he met Ray Manzarek. In addition to learning he also tried to write poems. Later, the band chose their name from the title of an Aldous Huxley book, “ The Doors of Perception”.
This rage did not change until his death. His behaviour already excelled in his youth: he rebelled at school. James Douglas Morrison was from a wealthy family. The dominant figure of the band was the eccentric Jim Morrison. In the ’60s, the Doors had the greatest impact on the youth after the Beatles.
