Great choices, everyone. Hard to go wrong with the Doors. Anyone read Jim's biography? Very interesting.
speaking of reading, anyone wanting to get to know the brain of what the doors were all about, you gotta read The Doors of Perception, it is pretty much where the doors got their name, and Morrison actually quotes huxley often.Quote:

Now you guys are right up my ally.. Aldous Huxley... Amazing.... Dont forget about the Hash Eater.... d:rastasmoke: Well hell you spoke of Blake, I thought of T.S Elliot..... d
The Hasheesh Eater has to be one of the best things I've ever read...Ludlow's genius just blows my mind. Haha yeah, I think Eliot would have been a little conservative for Jim.Quote:

Anyone looking for a good read should check out the Morrison biography "No One Here Gets Out Alive" by Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugerman. I took that book with me with me when I went backpacking in Europe and I lost track of how many times I've read it.
