When they're ajar.
Oct. 2nd, 2006 11:30 amOK: Very high on my personal list of 'won't go there' bands come The Doors. This is due <b>entirely</b> to over-exposure to their work at school. Blasting Riders on the Storm through study-hall windows into the courtyard was a ritual cliche; along with further indicators of being a total tool: wearing a tie round your waist instead of a belt; wearing football socks (ideally in house colours) with long trousers; paisley waistcoats; joss-sticks; drinking tea out of jam jars or similar. Half Stalky & Co, half sixties throwback, these tossers put me off the counterculture for life. Other offputting memories = my mum's defence of the Doors ('but they had good lyrics!'); Will Young's version of Come On Baby Light My Fire; lingering association with Vietnam films (c.f. The White Stripes who I associate with the war on Iraq, although I know this is a bit unfair).
Anyway, given Tom's attempt to bring the rock on poptimists today, are there any redeeming features in the work of the lizard-king and his devilish cohorts? Is this another prejudice I need to overcome, or should I retire in satisfaction that I have ALWAYS BEEN RIGHT?

Date: 2006-10-02 11:08 am (UTC)Time to lie
Time to laugh
Time to die
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Time to walk
Time to run
Time to aim your arrows
At the sun
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Go real slow
You like it more and more
Take it as it comes
Specialize in havin' fun
Takes it easy, baby
Take it as it comes
Don't move too fast
And you want your love to last
Oh, you've been movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
Movin' much too fast
