Hi Sheila and Doug and Bill. I only thought of it later, but actually, at the time I wasn't such a Doors fan as many, my appreciation came a few years after. I didn't like what I considered to be Morrison's posing and rock-star image etc - my favourite American band then was definitely the Byrds. Really started listening to the Doors because of the great organ and realised at some point that Morrison was for real.
Oh, mentioned you a few times recently Sheila on the Britpo list where a discussion has been going on about lyric. I suggested that your poetry was an example of experimental lyric, if there was such a thing.
Cheers
Tim A.
