What do you so called church people think of great poets/musicians such as Jim Morrison? Huh???

Answer 1

I believe that Jim Morrison was a beautiful spirit who probably knew and accepted Jesus as his Savior. Those of us who are true Christians would never judge what we do not understand, but that does not mean we cannot appreciate his talent and beauty. He relates to the humaness in us.

Answer 2

From "I Predict 1990" by Steve Taylor (a Christian recording artist):

Am I a pilgrim, or another souvineer hound?
In the City Of Lights, I have set my sights on a king's domain
It was a manhole dug over at the edge of town
And a spray-can scrawl on a cemetary wall said:
'You'd better behave'
Jim Morrison's grave

It's getting cold here and there ain't a lizard in sight
Did the end begin when you shed your skin in the home of the brave?
Somebody shake him from the land of larger-than-life
Where the remnants warn of a legand born in a dead man's cave
Jim Morrison's grave

I stay driven 'cause there's nowhere to park
I can't shut my eyes - I'm afraid of the dark
I lie awake, that stone left me chilled to the bone
Sound the alarm before it's done
Find Jim Morrison

Come away to Paris, let him see another day
Let him fade out slowly, only fools burn away
Let a true love show him what a heart can become
Somebody find Jim Morrison
Find Jim Morrison's grave

I get weary, Lord, I don't understand
How does a seed get strangled in the heart of a man?
Then the music covers like an evening mist
Like a watch still ticking on a dead man's wrist
Tick away

Taylor says, "A stream-of-consciousness graveside meditation on the folly of dead-rock-star worship, and speaking of Kurt Cobain - who was, I think, far more honest and far less cruel - when anyone takes an unblinking look into the well, if they don't find living water, they'll find nothing but a black hole. I assume Kurt Cobain could only see the latter. Some wonder what causes so many people to commit suicide. I wonder what causes so many people not to. Everyday I'm convinced afresh that apart from God, nothing makes sense."

Answer 3

Well before I became a Christian, when I used to get high and listen to the Doors, I thought Jim Morrison was a strange person who had a lot of troubles. He would get loaded and expose his private parts to the audience. His band members got angry with him because of his lack of professionalism, partying, and general irresponsible and proud behavior.

As to his "poetry", if you like the mystical musings of a drug user, then you might like what he wrote.

Answer 4

I happen to be a fan of the late Jim Morrison.

Answer 5

I'm a practicing Christian so I guess i qualify to answer. What's the problem? If someone has talent in music and the arts, well great. If' it's in horrible taste and offensive, that's something else. Sometimes so called artists want to slap you in the face not express their art.

Answer 6

Once I had this little game
I liked to crawl back in my brain
I think you know the game I mean
I mean the game called go insane

Now you should try this little game
Just close your eyes, forget your name
Forget the world, forget the people
And we'll erect a different steeple

Answer 7

Jim was a sinner in need of a Saviour just like any human being.

Answer 8

I think if he wasn't drugged up all the time we could have seen even greater poetry from him, maybe even today!

Why the malicious attitude?

Much Love!

Answer 9

Answer 10

Just the jumbled up ramblings of a dope fiend.
