I really enjoyed your take on the movie - I like the way you singled out the scene with Mimi Rogers, which I think is a wonderful depiction of the dark power of fame, how easy it is to get lost in it.<br /><br />As regards the Doors being timeless, I completely agree. There's loads of great music around now, but if there was ever a time for an apocalptic bard of the unconscious like Jim, it's these crazy days.Tristan Eldritchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10239386613395519115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7571050659834056958.post-50190062836908008072010-06-14T08:51:04.050-07:002010-06-14T08:51:04.050-07:00What an excellent post on the backstory to the fil...What an excellent post on the backstory to the film - the real story of The Doors and the era that they came into prominence. I also really like how you tied in that great Hunter S. Thompson quote from FEAR & LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS. I hadn't thought of that but now that you mention it, it makes perfect sense.<br /><br />The Doors, in many respects, really were an embodiment of the spirit of their times, reflecting the darker aspects of that era. And yet, their music is not dated and remains timeless.<br /><br />I'm really looking forward to your next installment. Great work!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.com
