Research
For this brief, I looked into a number of the musicians before settling on Jim Morrison, the key piece of research for this project was an article by ...... called 'The doors: the story of strange days and the madness of Jim Morrison'. This was full of inciteful information on Jim I sketched out ideas from this.
1. First area to explore was the idea of the Doors being politicians as quoted by Morrison. “We’re really politicians” Morrison told Goldman, straight-faced. “you could call us erotic politicians.. a Doors concert is really a public meeting called by us for a special kind of dramatic discussion and entertainment” The audience, he said “go home and interact with their reality, then I get it all back by interacting with that reality”.
2. The second area was their use of LSD and one particular moment In 1965. ‘Morrison sang Manzarek the opening verse to the song that became Moonlight Drive, while tripping on the beach at venice, Manzarek famously “saw dollar signs”
3. The final route was when Morrison was arrested on stage. ‘Morrison became the first singer ever to be arrested by police at an actual concert performace, charged with inciting a riot, indecency and public obscenity.’ “here you can hear the birth of the lizard king but the death of Jim Morrison”
