What would Jim Morrison be doing these days if he were still alive? |
|
could you picture him in a spiffy suit belting out Sinatra standards? Dude had a voice.

2. Actually he had pretty much lost his voice by the time he recorded "L.A. Woman". |
|
He was just shoutin' the blues by then. It sounded good in a bluesy sort of way. But the smooth baritone that fueled The Doors' best psychedelic music was no more.
Today, he'd probably be attending AA meetings, getting in trouble with the law, publishing a volume of poetry once in a while (maybe even on a blog) and, in his own words: "Putting out a blues album every year or two" with The Doors.

hopefully he'd wear his leather pants, and not much else, oh, wait he'd be about 60 something now wouldn't he? That's the good thing with dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse!

Not a fan. Sorry but he seemed like he was full of himself. Don't like the vocals.

14. Actually I know some assholes who were into Jim Morrison. |
|
Maybe that's why I don't know. Tho' I still say it's the vocals. The attitude. etc.

I just couldn't see Jim Morrison working as a PA at whatever would be considered rock's biggest corporation of his day. No dig on Vedder, he had talent, just don't see Jim taking what anyone would consider a suckup job on his way to his first album.

Only now it wouldn't be considered racy or sexy. Just creepy.

20. He'd be down at the Mayo getting a stent. |

Edited on Fri Oct-12-07 09:39 PM by Opposite Reaction
He'd also be taking a suppliment to keep him regular.
Edit: stint? Stent? I don't know.

21. Funny thing about Morrison and Sinatra... |
|
When once asked who he listened to, Morrison replied "After Sinatra, who is there to listen to?"
You can hear the influence in songs like "Moonlight Drive". He had quite the voice.

He was always pushing the boundaries, living on the edge. He wouldn't have made it past 30.

26. An appearance on VH1 Storytellers |
|
He'll talk about his his flagging career was saved by his casting as Hannibal Lector in silence of the Lambs, the role that won him an Oscar. He then won a second Oscar for his amazing performance in Leaving Las Vegas. He used his refound fame to go on tour with Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr, which played to sold out shows on 4 continents.

27. He would have been in Bret Michaels' place on that |

reality show. Dead people often get glorified. If he or john lennon or james dean or marilyn monroe were still alive, they would be has beens and living jokes.
