1. "Blood in the streets of the town of New Haven..." |

Isn't that where Morrison got arrested for indecent exposure? Maybe a bit of an over-the-top response, don't you think? :P

3. They made great music, but sometimes their lyrics were a bit... OTT... |
|
And a topical reference; I thought the song was about war. Not his own petty diatribe for getting arrested because he chose to wander around with his willy saluting the sun at high noon...
Did I say "willy"? Whoops, I meant "white penis".

I don't really know what was up with all the bizarre mysticism in his lyrics, though he claimed it had something to do with seeing dead Indians (in a car accident) on the highway as a small child (and that incident is mentioned in this song, actually).

6. He was probably on drugs. |
|
Or perhaps not; I can come up with some wacky stuff too... I suppose it's fortuitous I don't need chemical help... :rofl:
Still, one of us died at a tragic young age due to a drug overdose. I'm a 36 year old geezer approaching 37 at warp speed and the other is swapping spiked fudge twinkie cakes with Elvis.

"Out here we are STONED! Immaculate!"

9. I read somewhere that some wingnut claimed |

that this was an anti abortion song. The interpretation of art is up to the listener/ viewer.
