Maybe he was a bad mystical poet, still a mystic, and a poet.
No and no.

No. While Morrison was a decent song writer, and the Doors were a decent band, they get god like status because he died. There are at least 20 bands ahead of them in the pantheon of great 60's bands.
Had Morrison lived, he would probably be playing the state fair circuit with REO Speedwagon.

Did anyone say they were the best band of the 60's?
I feel like you're being oddly confrontational. This isn't a thread proclaiming the awesomeness of the band.
Moral of the OP - Jim was a military brat, a short haired, semi pudgy normal guy until he transformed himself physically and mentally on an abandoned rooftop in LA over the course of a month.
You can think Jim sucks, I wouldn't totally argue, but to deny that he was a mystic and a poet is just craziness.

You're spot on.
I like REO better than the Doors, BTW.. Jim Morrison's songs had the same lyrical prowess as an AC/DC record. His shite wasn't deep. He was just a spoiled a-hole who torched his brain and looked cool as frick.
If I drank 2 liters of Vodka a day, only spoke in riddles and pointed crooked fingers at girls I wanted to frick I'd be called a hobo, not a mystic btw..
He wasn't a talent.
