RonJonSurfer Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Jim Morrison Film Found A rare public relations film rock legend Jim Morrison made in the early 1960s has been found by students at Florida State University. The late The Doors singer made the short film in 1962, while studying film at the university - and he is even featured in it. The film emphasizes the need for more college-educated Floridians to work in the state's rapidly expanding industries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adrian22 Posted March 10, 2005 Report Share Posted March 10, 2005 http://fpc.dos.state.fl.us/windowsmedia/jim_morrison.wmv that's a link to an excerpt from the promo film made by Florida State University in 1964; it features Jim Morrison collecting his mail, learning he's not been accepted for college, and then going to talk with the Dean about it... when he collects the mail, it's a voice-over reading his mail, when he's seated, talking with the Dean, that's the voice of the Lizard King... this fun comes from: http://www.floridamemory.com/PhotographicCollection/VideoFilm2/video.cfm?VID=22 Florida State University: Toward a Greater University This is a public relations film on Florida State University that, in two brief scenes, features a young Jim Morrison years before his more recognized role as lead singer for The Doors.

RonJonSurfer Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 They were a different type of band in so many ways. No one has sounded like them before or since. Even their look was different. I can listen to something like Light My fire endlessly. As a matter of fact I did hear it endlessly as a kid. When it first came out and became a big radio hit, it was played all over the place. My parents took us on vacation to a great resort called Wildwood, NJ. Fantastic beaches and boardwalk. Well, the operator on the Himalaya ride played Light My fire at full volume for hours on end. Great stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

invisible_r Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 i couldnt easily pick a favourite song, i love their songs for different reasons. one of the happiest days was when i got the doors box set, its great cos it has everything but its also incredibly pretty, very well designed! my best friend and I were so obsessed with him that both out yearbook entries (the bits that say what you will be doing in 20 years) have references to him (apparently i was going to be doing cloning experiments with lizards and humans to create a new lizard king!) so no one answered, didnt he go to ucla?

edna Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I had all the Doors records many years ago... I lost half in a divorce, the other half probably was eaten by a black hole... now too good I still have my "L.A. Woman" album and "13", which I wonder if it´s not a greatest hits... I found the complete collection on cd (all they did during The Doors, not posthumous) at a public library and burned it on three cds. They didn´t have so many songs...

invisible_r Posted March 11, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 well, the box set has 7 cds plus the greatest hits one with live stuff. i also have the "american prayer" cd, which is basically recited poetry (ok, as i said i was obsessed, i even have one of his poetry books). I was sure he went to UCLA, cos my aunt also went to UCLA a couple of years after he did, and i was always jealous ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 To answer your question about his family life, Morrison very much so despised his family, especially his father (hence the "I want to kill you" part of 'The End') and the whole family being dead thing is a reference to when the Doors first record came out, and in the sleeve there was this biography section of the band, and Morrison had written that his whole family was dead, which was a total untruth, he just hated his family that much.

TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 I thought that the " Father I want to kill you" thing is part of something Freud said around these lines: When your young you want to have sex with the parent of the opposite gender and kill the parent of the same gender ::. Hence: Mother I want to f*ck you, Father I want to kill you. Thats just what I read somewhere though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scott Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 Well, it has to do with Freud's 'theory' as well, but the line has a double meaning that fits in with Morrison's family life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commercial or not commercial, I couldn't care less!! Whatever songs I like are cool to me, no matter if they were big hits or obscure tracks!!! And 'Light My Fire' is a damn fine song!!

TrampledUnderFoot Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 I love "Light My Fire" but I find it a tad too long. Did they shorten it for radio when it came out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RonJonSurfer Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 The AM radio version cut out the entire guitar / keyboard solo. I still here it like that once in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisible_r Posted March 14, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 i couldnt imagine it being shorter. did they cut out the bit towards the end that just has music? i love the music bit! very cool! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
