  1. wow, i really got off topic on here sorry. i have no idea why i am strongly defending JM when the thread is all about Robert Plant. oops.
  2. i know you are being mean and sarcastic, but if you know how do so; do some research and you'll find it. {lyrics are anywhere under discgraphy or lyrics below are a few of his quotes. but just a suggestion....to save you some trouble & misery....and don't read about this if you dislike JM so much.. i don't think it's healthy to disrespect/dislike or whatever it is you are aiming at JM who has been gone so long but still copied, studied and yes still conjers up a lot of controversy! He always said he'd be remembered long after he was gone a bit of an ego but nothing worse that other stars' quotes. “I see myself as a huge fiery comet, a shooting star. Everyone stops, points up and gasps "Oh look at that!" Then- whoosh, and I'm gone...and they'll never see anything like it ever again... and they won't be able to forget me- ever.” (so far True!) “People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.” “The most important kind of freedom is to be what you really are. You trade in your reality for a role. You trade in your sense for an act. You give up your ability to feel, and in exchange, put on a mask. There can't be any large-scale revolution until there's a personal revolution, on and individual level. It's got to happen inside first. You can take away a man's political freedom and you won't hurt him- unless you take away his freedom to feel. That can destroy him. That kind of freedom can't be granted. Nobody can win it for you.” "as i look back...over my life...i am struck by post cards...ruined snapshots...faded posters...of a time..i can't recall” - JIM MORRISON
  3. compared to all the snow mentioned i shouldn't complain but for CA it's been colder, gloomy, windy and wet for about a week now. then like others have said the usual places for the cold and snow have been mild....i guess it's our turn for the cold here. upside, once it calms down the ski areas will be fabulous for months.
  4. yup, and he probably thought getting away to Paris would help. nope.
  5. after thinking about this it's is true they don't always work and the ones "helping" them don't always have their best interests at heart or are in even worse case than the one they are trying to help. plus the person who needs to get "clean" gets to the point of trusting no one (or the wrong people like enablers). in the ones where it has worked (and there are some really high profile people on this list) i think they really wanted to change and had the right people around them.
  6. since JM died at age 27: Who knows what further works he would have done if he had survived and had what we call today an "intervention". i think it's kinda unfair comparing him to those having another 30 years to write, create and grow. and judging him on his actions on his way down ...harsh. i was only guessing (wrong thing to do i admit) on the bipolar thing etc. i don't have any idea. all i know he was extremenly moody, sensitive and even in early '67 he was his own worst enemy & critic and if the slightest thing went wrong in a show he'd be harsh on himself and took it out on others too. RIP JM
  7. i am not comparing RP to JM. RP has and always had a strong constitution...Axl Rose lived through his ordeal (though in self imposed exile) but I do see a slight parrallel there to JM if he had survived. and when you say a sick person..there are stars right now in the news daily in a self destructive mode that are said to have drug issues...well some of them are self medicating to avoid the symptoms of what is their ailment (often bi-polar, obsessive, addictive personalities etc). I don't see having mental/emotional disorders today as taboo...it should be treated the same as someone with diabetes, cancer or anything else. if they get the right meds and therapy they can live fulfulling pretty much normal lives. [in not talking criminally insane here] just those with treatable/managable ailments that are way more pravelent than people think. you know Jim Morrison died when he was only 27 he did not have time to grow past the the tumultuous years and was also surrounded by the way wrong people in the end...bad drug dealers who just fed into his problem. when he needed to get cleaned up and have meds to regulate his mood swings...that wasn't even happening back then or recognized. he was just thought of as another rock star who died of excess. no he could have lived through it just as even members of LZ have and still be a contributor on the rock scene since he was a genius lyricist and had a knack for inventing styles that are still copied today.
  8. i don't see RP as this judgmental of someone else's lifestyle..besides the list would be alwful long in the rock world if so. plus with morrison i think he was kinda tormented person...lost and suffered emotial problems and hughe mood swings...which led to the drug abuse which led to the violence. i'm not sticking up for him..but he had a complicated personality who knows if alive today maybe would have been foudn to be bipolar or something. pure conjecture. ps plus he was terribly unpredictable (again the mood swings thing) he was also self destructive. today we show so much pity for those in this condiition.
  9. i didn't see this or the other post this surprises me...but if it's in the book...i guess nothing should be surprising; again maybe so much time has passed and the bad incidents fade and he was just inspired to quote him that night.
  10. that is so cool he likes/admires Jim Morrison/Doors...they were/are awesome. and JM was years before his time his lyrics are still so relevant after all these years.
  11. Lady Raven, i shouldn't even complain compared to what I've hear your part of the country is getting. but here near the Sierra Mountains 80 miles east of reno preparing for a big storm lots of snow at high elevations and winds up to 70+mph here in Sacramento (100mph in sierras). And it's cold for here.
  12. ditto...and here it's supposed to be sunny california...normally i like rain and stuff but this year i'm already longing for summer
