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 grew up in the late 70s early 80s as a big alternative music fan
Literally nobody I knew liked The Doors. Very much a product of their time, as in, there wasn’t much else to listen to, so being slightly different was cool.
Utterly eclipsed by, for example, Pink Floyd and, to an extent, Led Zeppelin at the time
Slightly different? The first time I heard The Doors I was captivated by what seemed to me the weirdest music I had ever heard. I grew up in the same era as you and have a completely different perspective. Art is all perspective.
