Jim : Or James Douglas Morrison
James Douglas Morrison, known by his nickname "Jim"
, was born December 8, 1943 in Melbourne, Fla., died July 3, 1971 in Paris, is a poet and singer of American rock, frontman of The Doors from 1965 to 1971 . Sex symbol provocative behavior deliberately excessive, idol of rock music, but also intellectually engaged in the protest song movement, particularly against the Vietnam War, attracted by shamanism, it is assigned a reputation "damned poet" than his untimely death in Paris in suspicious circumstances, turns into a legend.
Scenic very personal style of Jim Morrison influenced the punk movement. The cult that he devote his fans eclipse however a work of great poetic richness that Morrison himself has been regarded as its main activity, at least from the summer of 1968.
Jim Morrison is the eldest of three children of the marriage between Steve Morrison, an officer of the U.S. Navy, and Clara Clarke. He was born two years (almost to the day) after the Japanese attack against the U.S. base at Pearl Harbor. The Pacific war raged between U.S. troops and Japanese.
Jim Morrison is three and a half, when during a drive from Santa Fe to Albuquerque, he saw an event which he later described as one of the most important of his life. It tells on the disc posthumous An American Prayer:
" Were driving-through the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian Workers had either hit another car, or just - I do not Know what happened - but there were indians scattered all over-the highway, bleeding to death . That was the first time I tasted fear. The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back - is that the souls or the ghosts of those dead indians maybe one or two of them running around Were just freaking out, and just leaped into my soul. they're still in there. "
("We were driving through the desert at dawn, and a truckload of Indian workers had either hit another car is just - well, I do not know what happened - but there were Indians lying on any highway, dying, losing blood.This was the first time I tasted fear. My reaction today in retrospect, in reviewing them - is that the souls or the spirits of those dead Indians ... maybe one or two of them were running around in all directions in panic, and they just jumped into my soul. And they are always there .)
It is of course possible to doubt the reality of this "transfer of soul", especially as Jim Morrison never hesitated to lie about his own autobiography (he claimed to be orphaned and in the individual information sheets Accompanying the brief biography of the band for their label, Elektra Records, a few weeks before the release of The doors, their first album), utilizing his remarkable talent for storytelling. Nevertheless, one can find in this story the source of two major inspirations in the behavior of Jim and his poetry: first, a very strong attraction to mysticism and Native American shamanism, and secondly, the use highway and vehicle typical of the american way of life as a metaphor of morbid modern technocracy.
The numerous verbal attacks against the police force morrison, his commitment to peace, his love for mysticism and native american culture, its frontal rejection of puritan morality and values wasp characteristics of his family, his systematic appeal to the radical liberation, not to mention his disruptive behavior, a strong incentive to link Morrison anarchist movement and more specifically to a tendency that the preferred mass awareness through the production of cultural works rather than the propaganda of the deed.
However, inspired by nietzsche and the opposition, as outlined in the genealogy of morals, between "master morality" and "slave morality," Morrison explicitly rejects egalitarianism, which occupies the heart of the Vulgate anarchist.
