Jim Morrison
Jim Morrison

The front man and creative force behind the band The Doors, Jim Morrison and his band mates came out of the Los Angeles club scene to become one of the top acts at the end of the 1960s. They had a string of hits, including Light My Fire, which caused quite a stir on the Ed Sullivan Show, from which they were banned. Morrison's destructive life both on and off stage created a mystique about him. Charismatic, dark and troubled, he died at the age of 27 of an apparent heart attack in Paris. Though he was known for his music, Morrison also authored several books of poetry during his life. He is ranked 47th on the list of 100 Greatest Singers of All Time released by Rolling Stone.

Date of Birth: December 08, 1943

Jim Morrison
"People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it. That's what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you're letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."
Jim Morrison
