I edited my profile with
"You could say it's an accident that I was ideally suited for the work I was doing. It was the feeling of a bowstring being pulled back for 22 years and suddenly being let go. I was primarily an American, second a Californian, third a Los Angeles resident and last a visitor in Paris. I had always been attracted to ideas that were about revolt against authority. I liked ideas about the breaking away or overthrowing of established order. I was interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos - and especially activity that seemed to have no meaning. It seemed to me to be the road toward freedom - external revolt is a way to bring about internal freedom. Rather than starting inside, I started outside -reach the mental through the physical.I am a Sagittarian - if astrology has anything to do with it - the Centaur - the Archer - the Hunt - but the main thing back then is we were The Doors. We were from the West. The whole thing is like an invitation to the West. The sunset. This is the end. The night. The sea. The world we suggest is of a new wild west. A sensuous evil world. Strange and haunting, the path of the sun, you know? Toward the end. At least that was for our first album. We're all centered around the end of the zodiac. The Pacific/violence and peace/the way between young and the old." JDM (From original Elektra Records Bio, 1967).....Nothing much has changed for you people today.
