You know Springsteen watched The Doors in concert when he was 18 years old and it changed his life and his feelings about music and people,he learned a lot from the man clad in black leather. Springsteen wrote "Because the Night" for Patti Smith the punk star of much acclaim,and that song rocked.Now as the years go by Patti Smith has said some things about Morrison that I just don't like."Morrison just didn't have the humility to be a real person"shit Patti,you rode in on his coat tails and who wants humility in a rock star anyhow?,she makes me puke,her day is gone but she's not dead and that's her shame.Take take take and then give your birth father a kick in the balls,I'll not support her anymore,the man is at her door.TS

Lou Reed is Jim Morrison wannabe that never was, who has said disparaging things about Jim Morrison in an envious kind of manner, for years going back.

He's been on my shit list for years.

I guess this could go on and on with different celebrities of all kinds of different types, eh????

I like to think of us as Clearasil on the face of the nation. Jim Morrison would have said that if he was smart, but he's dead.”

Lou Reed

Lou was just screwed up on heroin and had a crush on Jim,Patti Smith know's better,she bit the very hand that fed her. Lou I can forgive only because he came out of his leather stage and stopped bashing the brilliance of JDM.Patti's got a tumor going on,bigger than my bicept and as malignant as her fragile man face brain,nothing left to lose because her looks are gone,or were never there.She stole tequila from me once in NYC and she's still a thief,lying ,crying ,midnight spying into the underwear drawer's of men.TS

Well I am sorry that this person who hails from Pitman NJ has sunk this low. Maybe Patti has had a secret crush on Jim all these years, eh? She lost her husband years ago, I forget his name, from the MC5. I think both these folks are sort of wastrels that managed to stay alive, despite all the destruction they hailed down on themselves through the years with drugs and alcohol; kinda like Lucky Alice and Lucky Ozzie, eh?

God takes the good stuff for himself and leaves the dregs for us here on earth.........

I like the way think,but I still love RockN'Roll Animal,a masterwork of a Morrison wannabe.

i CANT believe patti actually said that about morrison!!! you patti bitch!!! btw mojo do you know her?

Patti Smith is a fan. THIS is what Patti Smith had to say about Jim Morrison.

"Jim Morrison probably got the closest
to being an artist within rock and roll, I think. . . .
His death made me sadder than anyone's.
He was a really great poet."
—Patti Smith

I'm not aware of the claims you have made about Patti Smith. Can you provide the source?

Whoa! I love crazy rock and roll stories.

Morrison was the most humble person on the planet.

That is what I say.

Just ignore her, please.
