I remember reading a story about Jimbo being drunk and claiming that he "could sing the blues better than any nigger". How do bluesfags feel about that statement?
>>127106539 (OP) He had a freakout stoned in Jamaica, wouldnt leave the place he was staying at because the fear of being attacked by a black was real. I would say he was based and self-preservation pilled.
>>127106539 (OP) He was a better singer than most bluesmen, except maybe Wolf.

>>127106539 (OP) Very few people to bother to look up the influences of great artists. For those of us who have done our research on the Doors know how much Jim loved the blues. The people here who hate on Jim are all psueds with zero musical taste, so Im not going to bother saying any more as it will go over everyones heads
>>127109300 sorry bro, jimbo was a burger man >"At one point during a lunch break he asked what I was doing, and I told him this medical research thing. He asked if there was a Burger King around there and I said โYeah Iโm going back to the hospital, I can give you a rideโ. Instead of dropping him off I joined him for lunch.He had two Cheese Whoppers and a malt shake.โ
>>127109300 >ive met the kid. jim didnt liked chicken that much. told he was a burger man. but he had a vision. an irish kid would come along and beat us negro chicken eaters at our own game, his name is going to be BONO!"
>>127106539 (OP) >We were in a car going up to Topanga Canyon. I was driving, and Jim and his girlfriend Pam (Courson) were in the back seat. It was all winding roads and everything. I looked back to say something to Jim, and he was gone. He'd jumped out of the car and fallen back down the hill, just for the hell of it. I stopped and yelled: "Jim?!" And a voice came back from somewhere in the distance: "I'm alright, I'm okay." It was something out of a Roadrunner cartoon.
>The fact that Jim lived until he was 27 was a miracle. I can see how his heart gave out. He'd walk into a room, there'd be a bowl full of pills - uppers, downers, acid, you name it - and he would gobble them down the way you and I would eat M&M's. Then he'd wash them down with whiskey. I never caught him sober. But then neither was I, so we were fine together.

Is the whole thread just this? Is it just straight nonsense? When are we getting serious?

>>127109304 He doesn't even look like a real rockstar, he looks like the dumbest football player in the world dressing up as one for Halloween. There are better people to be jealous of for their looks, but that really doesn't happen as much as people pretend it does. I jealous of someone like Robert Christgau because basically everyone on this board would be better at his job than he is.
