Oliver Stone Delivers Drug Addiction

Rating: 9/10 (2 April 2017)

The Doors broke onto the scene in the late '60s with a "Carnival Music" sound. Jim Morrison takes you for a ride that could be your last. Follow the "Pied Piper" of Rock and Roll to your doom. The Merry go Round doesn't stop unless you can dislodge yourself and fly away. As Pamela Courson discovered the "Magic Ride" with Jim is short and addictively deadly.
The Doors reflected the constant Jungle Warfare in Viet Nam - "The End", "The Musics Over" and several other tunes drag you down into the depths of despair - showing endless war and strife. Jim and his massive alcohol and drug addiction "Lit His Fire" alright, along with countless other lost souls.
We survived the War and the Revolution and we're still here - we are the "Beautiful Friend" that Morrison sings about. Addiction took many of us and is still reaping it's deadly harvest. We were able to detach ourselves from Morrison and his Death Spiral - we survived to look back at his destruction along with those that followed him.
Oliver Stone showed the uncontrolled Jim Morrison and the destructive power he wielded. No one could stop or prevent the eventual outcome. I however lived to learn from this legendary "Pied Piper".
