I’m old enough to remember the Doors.
Jim Morrison was a narcissist, his poetry and lyrics go from mediocre to bad, he wasn’t really that popular until years after he died.
You would hear a shortened version of “light my fire” on the radio now and then, but no one was really influenced by the Doors and no one really cared much about them.
This is just so, so, so wrong.
Light my fire was a #1 hit - back when that meant something. The album peaked at #2 in the US. They regularly sold out tour dates.
You may be “old enough to remember the doors” (whatever that means, we know you aren’t 75) but that isn’t a license to just make shit up to sound smart and cool.
"back when that meant something" ok boomer 😂
The band (not Jim) was the talent for sure. But as someone who was born in '72, I did enter teen years viewing him as the personification of Dionysus (which he cultivated). As an adult, I have no doubt he was an insufferable ass. :)
