Pondering

Much as I have been doing all week it seems. This ponder was about scary movies. Trying to think of the movie that scared me the most ever. Believe it or not it is "Trilogy of Terror". As cheezy as the African doll was................I watched it the first time alone and I never jumped so much as I did when the stupid little thing popped up. This was definitely the movie that held me in rapt attention. I have seen other scary movies that might have made me run up basement steps in the dark. Everyone knows that if you go up the basement steps in the dark, whatever lives under the stairs will grab your leg.
And the movies that made me afraid to go upstairs in the dark. Dark does alot to make you scared just by being dark.
I know that if I went into the woods behind my house in the dark, I would be sure I was being watched by thousands of eyes. And would be waiting for some kind of werewolf to jump out.
But as far as sitting and watching a movie. It was the story of the African fetish doll that freaked me out totally.
PEACE

Today, I was pondering bands. And being my age, there are lots of bands to ponder. And I constantly kept coming back to the Doors. No matter what other band I brought into my mind, all of my favorites. All of the songs I consider great poetry. Pink Floyd, Dylan, The Eagles. These I consider poets of my generation. Songs that you can lay back and close your eyes and listen. But there were no greater poets of my generation than the Doors.

Jim Morrison......Mr. Mojo Risin.

And he drank...alot. Drugs, not as much as people think. He was bent on taking everything to the limit to see not only if he could do it, but could he get away with it. The Doors made music that defined a generation. As the Flower Power generation was growing up.....with all the songs of Love and Peace..........there were The Doors. With deep, dark thoughts, words, like the dark side of Flower Power. But it rang true of the times we were in. Social change going on. Women's Lib, Free Love, The Pill, The War........each entwining into the other. Our generation were truly rebels. Not like Grandma's generation, who listened to Rock and Roll and their parents were sure they were on the road to Hell for sure.

Ah, but this Grandma's generation.........we got CRAZY. Young people truly changing the world. Is this generation coming up the next to make dramatic changes in society?

What changes could they make?

Do they have one band that they can say are the poets of THEIR generation? I hope so, because it helps create change.

Peace
