What do you think of Jim Morrison? (lemmy.ml)

Morrison is often associated with the youth counterculture. As someone who was born in the 21st century, I want to know what type of person he was, to people who were able to witness his era.

It could be anything about him - his influence, his music, his personal life, his relationship, activism, childhood, or the type of person he was, if his musics were popular and was his life tragic, or filled with happiness? I don't want to hear the Wikipedia summary, I'm interested in what you think as someone who enjoys music.

I live real close to the house he lived in when he was a kid. There's even a "Riders on the Storm Inn" here in town... 😌 I don't know a lot about the man that he was and I'm too young to have seen The Doors play, though I really enjoy "People Are Strange," and a few other songs of theirs. I'm glad he found a way out of this place, though, even if it was only for a short time.
