he released a book (very limited 10,000 or so copys) called "The Lords and New Creatures" if you can get your hands on one it's great stuff, I think they may have released it on paper back later on,I was lucky enough to find one back in 83 or 84 in original hard back...what a score !!

    one of my favorite poems.

    Metamorphose. An object is cut off from its name,
    habits, associations. Detached, it becomes only
    the thing, in and of itself. When this disintegration
    into pure existence is at last achieved, the object
    is free to become endlessly anything.


    (Jim Morrison
    The Lords and
    The New Creatures
    Poems)

    (page 78.)

    this book is actuallly sitting on my end table at all times. There were two others realeased much later called American Night, and Wilderness. Both just collections of his stuff. I keep all three sitting there so I can just pick them up whenever...

    I love these books, along with Leonard Cohen's poetry book which is called Beautiful Losers. I'm always reading through these four book.

    Good stuff.

    Oh yes, Jim Morrison of the Doors.... brings back memories of my high school yrs. He was truly mystical - a great poet and songwriter.

    There was a "cover" band back then called - Moonlight Drive - ( I'm sure there are others ) such great times :D

    I have recording of a live show and he says "I'm gonna get my kicks brfore the shit hits the fan",
    I read the book no one here gets out alive by Bruce Botnic..I think ? but anyway a great read and full of insight to his life and some thoughts.
