Jim cites the blues and folk music {or country music as he said later} are the roots of American music; namely rock n’ roll. He thought that rock music was a fusion of the blues and folk/country music. Jim felt that rock music was dying and that musicians were returning to their roots in either the blues or folk/country music. He prophesied that in the future music would turn to electronics; specifically he foresaw the rise of electronica/trip hop, rap music, hip hop and the DJ {disc jockey}, etc.
Did Jim’s shamanic powers grant him his futuristic vision?
Regardless of how he was able to foresee the future, Jim was a visionary.
{I would have loved to see the evolution of The Doors’ music and Jim’s poetry}.

Please enjoy this electronic remix of The Doors’ interviews…
I think it is no secret that I am a doors fan and admirer of Jim Morrison respectively. {If you have read this blog for some time, then you will have already come to this conclusion}. I find Jim Morrison to be quite fascinating and highly intelligent. He was a poet, shaman, intellectual and rock n’ roll prodigy {amongst other things}.
{There are more Jim Morrison posts in the works so keep your ear to the ground}…

This short video clip is a comedy sketch from a show called Kids in The Hall.
It begs the question…what type of fan are you? {You don’t have to be a doors fan specifically. I am asking what type of fan you are in general}.
As much as I love The Doors and their music, I cannot say that I am this type of fanatic {like the record store owner}.
I like to think I am more of an admirer than a fanatic.
However, the person that introduced me to the doors is similar to the record store owner in this comedy skit. He was the biggest and most passionate doors fan that I have ever met. He read several Jim Morrison biographies and books. He had the complete Doors discography- which he listened to often. At one point in time, he wanted to get a tattoo of Jim Morrison. Of course when I saw him years later and reminded him about this, he looked at me as if he didn’t remember. The years have passed and I am a doors fan more than ever. I am also a fan of Jim Morrison and his poetry. What about you?

What did you think of the Kids in the Hall comedy sketch? I thought it was quite funny.
Ironically the record store owner in this Kids In The Hall skit is exactly like the record store employees in the movie High Fidelity.
I am not a fan of elitism but for the purposes of comedy I can appreciate its humor.
At least you can say that these record store employees are very passionate people.
