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
