Something I think a lot of people dont understand about The Doors - TopicsExpress



          

Something I think a lot of people dont understand about The Doors is the degree to which Morrison was operating as a performance/conceptual artist. He was legitimately a drunken buffoon, yes, but that was also exaggerated into a carefully-constructed act to incite scorn, confusion, and/or frenzy, depending on the night (Iggy Pop took more than a page from Morrisons handbook). Morrison knew he could never really be a Howlin Wolf or John Lee Hooker, because of too much time spent in art school, but he COULD be a mini-Artaud or an honorary member of The Living Theatre doing a riff on his inability to be a legit working-class blues singer.
