Wild Child - The Doors
TSP50.... too much stuff here... still Jim with a piece that's as Doorsian as it gets: a classic Doors, pure Morrisonian singing, warm riff, pumped keyboards, and the agile and unique drumming of John. The lyrics and the atmosphere are then dark and mysterious to the max: JDM's passion for primitive cultures and... his visceral passion for Rimbaud... there would be much to write about...
“Do you remember when we were in Africa” back then nobody knew and it was thought to be just a drunken phrase thrown out there. “The poet makes himself a visionary through a long upheaval of all the senses”...

“Dear Professor Fowley, I just wanted to thank you for your translation of Rimbaud's works. I needed it because I don’t read French very well... I am a rock singer and your book travels everywhere with me” Jim Morrison ps: that drawing of Rimbaud by Picasso on the cover is great.” This is how one of the greatest rockstars normally wrote to Professor Wallace Fowley at Duke University. Probably inspired by this, many years later, in 1994, the Professor wrote “Rimbaud and Morrison: The Rebel as Poet” interpreting the relationships between the works of the two.
