thread_title: Fair use rationale for Image:Riders45.jpg

message: It has also been suggested that the song is about Charles Manson and/or Billy Cook. I wonder does anyone have any references to support either of these claims?. The lyric certainly takes some radical departures from "(Ghost) Riders in the Sky: A Cowboy Legend", even if that was it's inspiration. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:42, 7 May 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Alternatively, the killer may have been Morrison himself. Apparently, in his film "The Highway", he had telephoned poet Michael McClure and made a false confession to a murder on the highway, simply hanging up with no explanation and only admitting the hoax to McClure later. Martinevans123 (talk) 21:58, 29 June 2011 (UTC)

text: Sounds pretty speculative to me. Unless there are some actual sources to link this lyric to Cook, I don't think you can say that it "most definitely" refers to him. There's no evidence this is a reference to any real life event - for all we know, it could be Morrison's artistic creation. Without any convincing proof, I'm going to call this original research. 62.78.230.2 (talk) 20:35, 30 April 2014 (UTC)

message: In the Heidegger section, we read: "... Morrison heard an influential lesson for him, where were discussed philosophers who had a critical look at the philosophical tradition...""... Morrison heard an influential lecture for him, in which were discussed philosophers who critically addressed the philosophical tradition..." Is this acceptable English?? --User:Haraldmmueller 10:08, 30 March 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi Gerda, could you please help us with the translation of the German quote Jim Morrison hat 1963 an der Florida State University in Tallahassee eine für ihn einflußreiche Vorlesung gehört, in der Philosophen besprochen wurden, die sich kritisch mit der philosophischen Tradition auseinandergesetzt haben, darunter Friedrich Nietzsche und eben auch Martin Heidegger? Thanks so much. --Mauro Lanari (talk) 02:23, 1 April 2018 (UTC)

message: The article currently says this:
: Hmmm. Here's a link to the poem: .
There's also no source supporting the claim that Morrison "was known to be a fan of his poetry", which might have been a clincher. Any views? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:01, 8 November 2019 (UTC)

message: Is there any reliable source? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:14, 30 November 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: So the source at L.A. Woman is: "Botnick, Bruce (2007). L.A. Woman (booklet). Rhino Records. R2-101155." So I assume that's 100% reliable and could be used here. Martinevans123 (talk) 18:58, 3 December 2019 (UTC)
