How is that funny?

Sounds like a Soft Parade/Morrison Hotel era Jim, he was drunk off his ass most of that time during that period.

hmm... the meaty stench of spam fills the forums...

I actually think its tragic what happened to morrison and hendrix near the end of their careers...imho two of the greatest innovators of the 20th century....

what a waste.

they are best left to be remembered for the music ...and just the music

sounds like me talking to Taw's wife

lol. I feel a full-on click alert coming along

@Grom,

Interesting you say at the end of their careers.... Many say they both died at the height of their careers.

But.... Was it their genius that made them do it? Or would they not have been as brilliant without the chemicals? I think many imitators thought the latter.

of course they died at the end of their careers, its fricking impossible for Jimi Hendrix to have a career after he died. Like the way your keys are always in the last place you look because you dont keep looking for your keys after you found them, so too is Morisson's death at the end of his career.

Thenk you veddy much.

lol. arcon's got a point there

in answer to your question...no...I don't believe for one minute that either of them would have had the same effect on society if drugs were out of the equation. Would they still have been as good? Well Hendrix would still be a talented guitarist yes, his early stuff proves that, but Morrison? Naah don't think so. They would have been an unknown surfer garage band without the drugs influencing the music. I don't think Hendrix would have made it to the scale he did either - remember, there's no way that he would have played woodstock and knocked out the famous star spangled banner without tripping.

And sadly, as per usual, they both became a great deal more famous AFTER they died...so no....without drugs things would have been very very different. Strange really - very very slowly we're watching a similar cult status surround the late Kurt Cobain....when I was a kid and into them, everyone hated Nirvana, they were just too damn loud....then he blows his head off and literally overnight kids all over the world are wearing "memorial" t-shirts....and we're already seeing the next generation follow on with the obsession.
