The late Jim Morrison of The Doors, the charismatic, most influential and controversial, provocative singers in music history, would have been 69 years old today.
You gotta hear this—Marilyn Manson performed LIVE with the freaking DOORS this weekend for the Sunset Strip Music Festival in L.A. and he's a dead ringer for Jim Morrison.
Put simply, because of The Doors, I chose music as my life path. I was actually drawn by the instrumentation primarily, as well as by Jim Morrison of course. As musicians I found them to be unique and masterful. Their songs, as well as the atmosphere and intensity they created, had a tremendous impact on me growing up.
