“The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on.
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you”
― The Doors

“I can look at a crowd," he said to his friends, "I can just look at it. It's all, uh, very scientific, and I can diagnose the crowd psychologically. Just four of us, properly positioned, can turn the crowd around. We can cure it. We can make love to it. We can make it riot."
Jim's friends looked at him blankly.
"Hey, man," Jim said, "don't you even want to try?”

“Jim Morrison: I’ve always been attracted to ideas that were about revolt against authority. I like ideas about the breaking away or overthrowing of established order. I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos—especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom. External revolt is a way to bring about internal freedom. Rather than starting inside, I start outside—reach the mental through the physical.”

“That Jim Morrison song gets it all wrong. People are strange when you’re a stranger, but it’s not because they ignore you—it’s when they notice you and smile, that’s when you realize you’re alone out here. Their kindness is what makes you notice how weak you are. That’s when you know it’s not the city’s fault, it’s yours. These people are in the same strange town, but they’re not letting the strangeness eat them up and turn them into robots. That’s just you.”

“He then thanked everyone genuinely for the party &, the bottle emptied, nodded off.
"oh,christ, look! Leon soon cried "Look at Jim!" Leon leaped from his seat. Slumped unconscious in his chair, Jim had managed to extract his penis from his pants & was pissing on the rug.
"jesus!" Bill rushed across the room, grabbed a large crystal goblet & held it under the stream.
To his surprise Jim filled it.
Bill took another goblet from the table & Jim filled that, too, then a third one.
Leon, Frank, Kathy, & Cheri were falling down with laughter.
Afterward, Frank & Kathy took Jim to the Doors' office & dropped him, still asleep on the office couch.”

“Prison. Confinement. Incarceration. Up to three years of nothing but four walls for a victimless crime that maybe he didn't commit. That was the prospect facing - contradicting - Jim Morrison, main lyricist and lead singer of the Doors. Who could imagine that the man who lived so free could be reduced to a number in Florida's penal system?”
