Jim Morrison totally gets me

“People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.”

I almost bought an album by The Doors today. I'm collecting vinyl records for my new turntable. Instead, I purchased the debut albums of the B-52's, Van Halen, and Led Zeppelin. I'll probably get The Doors on my next visit. I'm trying to find the Sex Pistols and the Ramones first albums on vinyl, but no one has 'em in Nashville.

eBay to the rescue.

I love The Doors. Jim is one of the greatest musicians of all time and judging by that quote up there, a wise man. "Hello I Love You" is such a good song. Check out www.myspace.com/programthedead they did an amazing cover of that song.
