I just wanted to tell everyone that I watched a show;on VH1;last
night;for the 2cd time.It was titled"Jim Morrison& the Doors"about
the rock group of the same name!I;especially;liked the part where
he gets arrested in New Haven,Conn.I am;originally;fromBranford,
Conn.;witch is just outside of New Haven;so it brought back alot
of memories. Everything;in those days;was done in a drunken
and/or drug induced stupor!I was wondering if anyone saw it?
It would be; really appreciated;by someone who was around in those days.Probably; only;by the people;that traveled in the same type of circles that I did.The part of Jim Morrison was played
superbly by Val Kilmer!Of course my favorite group is still"The
Rolling Stones."My youngest daughter gave me Mick Jaggers new
CD for Christmas.It is fantastic! Irish

Irish,
Most people today over 30 still love "light my fire" and "roadhouse blues", but who are these Rolling Stones
you talk about??

I hate the Rolling Stones!! Mick thinks he is God's gift to women!!And he is far from that!
I am a Ozzy Baby!!!
I also enjoyed April Wine, Nazareth, Supertramp, KISS and Styx......at least you understood the words sung in their songs!

LoveDiva4u---I saw Ozzie on a Tv show; the other night;and he
acted like he was in a trance.The drugs must have really affected
his mind.
oldfart----The Rolling Stones have only been around for a few decades.Mick Jagger is only 58yrs old so they; probably;haven't
heard of them--"Down Under"yet!(dig) Irish
PS.Different strokes for different folks.Thats why there is free
choice.It's also why I'm registered to vote as an"independent."

LoveDiva4u---I forgot to tell you that I don't think that Mick thinks
that he's Gods gift to women!He's too ugly for that.I think that it's
just an act that;always;worked for him.I was watching;a show;on
the making of his new single album and I didn't realise that he has so many kids.I;mainly;liked his attitude.A master host of the show;when he was doing flexiblity exercises;said to him--Do you
think that you should be doing that at your age?He replyed--Just
because I'm 58;I'm not going to sit around with the other"Old Farts" and talk about what we did when we were 19.Men hate to
get older!I still workout;almost everyday;not because I ;particularly;want to.It's too easy not to.I'm 5'10",212lbs.and
;believe me;it's not fat.My Father used to tell me,"There's no
shame in not being able to do something.The shame is in not
trying!"By working out;my blood pressure is lower and my blood
sugar is lower.(I have;always had;high pressure&also am diabetic
Irish
PS.Also;in my earlier circle of acquaintances;you were judged by
how you could handle yourself.Big muscles were intimidating.I'll
be 58 next mo.

LoveDiva4u---My wife also hates Mick Jagger.Maybe his appeal with;so many;women is that he is a star.I realise;now that he's
gone;that my father told me many smart things.When I went in
the service; at 17;he told me that I would be suprised; when I got
home;at how much he had learned while I was gone!He rode a
motorcycle;also;when he was a State Cop.He told me;when I
started racing;that no matter how good that I got.Always respect
your bike.When you think that you're the boss;it will either hurt
you;real bad;or kill you!Don't be afraid of it-Just respect it! Irish

The Doors
I too saw the Jim Morrison /Doors movie on VH1. When I saw it the first time I really thought Val Kilmer was HOT! Maybe it was really just Jim! Mick Jagger looks anorexic and he screwed David Bowie<turn off>I am going through a second adolescence(sp) and am very hooked on today's alternative rock just as I was years ago with OZZY, Kiss and all those Love Diva mentioned. I like the new OZZY song but it definitely sounds like a mature OZZY reflecting,as are we all........Tootles!

Lilith---I have seen Val Kilmer in other movies!He is a very good
actor.He was fantastic in "Tombstone."He played Doc Holliday.
The movie was about Wyatt Earp but I,my wife and our youngest
(32yrs.)daughter have watched it many times because of the role
that he played.We think that he MADE the movie.I heard that
storie about Mick Jagger&David Bowie;sleeping together once.
I don't know if it's true.They say that they were both drunk but I
am a recovering alcoholic and there just isn't enough booze to
make me turn homosexual.Booze may lower your inhibitions but
you don't do something that you're not inclined to do anyway.My
opinion anyway!!! Irish

Val Kilmer et al...
I too saw where Val Kilmer played Doc Holiday and it was good. I love him in the movie "The Saint" with Elizabeth Shue. Check it out if you have not seen it. The Jagger/ Bowie thing came from what Angie Bowie said on the Joan Rivers Show years ago. I am sure the booze was not at fault. Your door either swings that way or it does not. Angie Bowie is where the great song "Angie" from the Stones came from I heard. Who knows?......Tootles!

I remember the Angie Bowie flap, the next day after the show (after being contacted by David's lawyers), Angie "clarified" her comments by saying she didn't actually see them doing anything, she just found them in bed together naked! Well, ok, maybe they had a woman or three there with em when they dozed off, and they left before Angie got there (sure. right.) All I know is if I was going to try the gay thing, I'd think I'd try to find a better looking guy!
As for the Doors, the key is to ignore their pop hits (most of which was written by guitarist Robby Kreiger), check out some of Morrison's dark poetry - burn a doob (if you do such things) & listen to "When the Music's Over" or "Riders on the Storm" and see if you get it then...

Lilith---Kiss wears makeup,Wears open bottomed pants,etc.
Put 2+2--together!
scotzoidman---You're right.Most of the poetry;in the Doors; songs
was written; by Morrison;when he was stoned.It's brilliant;if;
interpreted while that way! Irish
P.S.From one; who;used to spend; much of his time;that way!
Perhaps that is why I like; much of;Elton Johns earlier music;
even if he is gay.I have a butterfly;sewed on my old motorcycle
cutoff.(Butterflies are free)Elton John---Late 60s or early 70s.
My fantasy world---50s,60s&70s.Partial 80s.

2+2=4 Sexy Kiss members!!!! Who can leave their makeup all over my body!!!!!
I have met the members of Kiss back stage a few times in my life at the countless concerts I have been too. And all I can say is that they are the greatest bunch of guys ever!
Musicians portrait themselves as druggies and bad asses...but take them out of that atmosphere and they are average people like you and me....
.........ok..maybe you don't go swallowing a pint of sperm like Rob Stewart did!!!

LoveDiva4u---You say that musicians portray themselves as druggies&Badasses.I think that you'll find that;the old-school;
Bikers are the same way!Granted-alot of them are assholes but
you'll find that in every lifestyle.I was amazed at the compassion
of most; of them;after I had been; in that lifestyle;for long enough
for them to show me their true feelings!People ;continually;try to
prove themselves.You don't have to!Just be yourself and you
will either be accepted or not.No-one ever treated my wife or
daughters better.Their was a code that they lived by.You didn't
mess with a persons ride,family or possessions.If you had a problem with someone.You took it up with them!More groups should think like that.The new riders are mostly PUNKS!My opinion! Irish
