Jim is actually wrong regarding Sexual repression going hand in hand with Totalitarianism - the Eastern Block and life behind the Soviet Iron Curtain was proved to be just the opposite of that. In the Soviet states, sexual freedom was in point of fact the opiate of the masses - it was the great leveller. In contrast to the West, the Eastern Block nations enjoyed great openess and freedom in regards to sexuality - this has been noted and documented by those who lived behind the Iron Curtain. Of course Jim was probably not aware of this in 1970 ... but still.
Jim's statement is not quite right either way - whether general or specific. We need not resort to academic gymnastics with footnotes to view History plainly for what it is ... and has been. Perhaps Jim means Religion when he uses the term "Totalitarian"? We can only speculate. In point of fact, Historically speaking, Religion has had more to do with "sexual repression" in Culture and Society than any Political movement we can point to in the last 2000 years. There was no Sexual repression in Hitlers Germany - not within the scope of ethnic Germans - quite the opposite. Germans were encouraged to breed and procreate, this is known. Communist Russia and Mao's China has no such repression in regard to sexual expression or liberty - not until the 1 Child Policy in China was realized - and even then, this was not a repression of sexuality itself but rather a restriction on progeny. The facts are, where Religion is present, this is usually where Sexual Repression has been found most prevalent ... Totalitarianism has little to do with it.

How refreshing, to see a rational and logical debate in the comments of a YT video. I thought I was alone, running these dialogues through my own mind. Searching for peers, in intellectually bankrupt and corrupt societies, finds me lost in world of agoraphobic, uber eats, " Hey just leave it at the door, it's paid for" lifestyle of the not so rich and not so famous. So about this sexual repression! Cheers!

What type of deep, profound mind would most people have who consumed as much alcohol 24/7 as Jim did? Imagine the unfathomable genius he would have become had he gone straight edge. He predicted the future of music (solo artists sitting alone in a room with machines) Even people with lucid minds have a few bad theories. Unless Jim said something offensive, which I've yet to hear, I think it's absurd to pick apart one statement he made. You're just not going to come out ahead of Jim Morrison... he was the real deal and the whole package... even as an alcoholic.

I had no idea he was like this. He was a staggeringly introspective man. He talks as if he's in the 21st century. He understood the power and source of the post WWII baby boomers. He predicted the onslaught of mechanized social media. He correctly understood the hippy life style as a middle class phenomenon of people who essentially didn't have to work. He had his demons, but Jim Morrison was clearly not the typical "Rock Star."

Pete Zereeah most commentators said the exact same thing ten years earlier regarding the Beatniks. It’s just common sense that in a consumer society, social trends will depend on society’s ability to consume them, ie who can afford to buy into the trend. Look now at climate change and you will notice that it is mostly a high class/middle class trend because they can afford to buy into it. A poor person today isn’t going to buy a $100 renewable lightbulb just as the poor person on the 1960s didn’t buy a $100 pair of jeans from India.

Morrison would have recognized the revolutionary tool that the internet is, the powerful beauty of the human-connectivity that it offers up. He would have screamed WAKE UP and use it to your benefit, use it before it uses you up. There's no time to lose.... Something along those lines. He talks about music events as large gatherings of people who are like-minded and the power of performers to open minds and influence audiences into thinking about what they want to change.... the course of their own lives, politics, etc. The internet multiplies that immeasurably and it would be something that would thrill his mind and be a brilliant, hopeful sign for the people. Of course the very dark side would be fodder for many more poems from Jim Morrison. As for his legend of excess etc, through the online access to the Doors concerts, interview archives etc we can now recognize his depth of intelligence and concern for individuals and humanity, his urgent message to claim our freedom and voices. I hope Doors fans turn everyone on to this timeless philosopher/poet. It certainly cannot hurt to try, plus the music is cool and beautiful and who can argue with that?

There is a complete lack of pretension in his voice and thoughts. His deliberate cadence is proof that he is earnest, sincere and desiring of finding his true knowledge/perception of life. This is real intellectualism. It's like breathing to him. It's natural. Natural in how he is always updating his thoughts. So he doesn't project dogma either. He sees the context of life and why things may be happening. I'm not sure you can teach anyone to think like this very easily. Forget writing songs. It's more the willingness to ponder life and see it clearly in your head. It's too bad Oliver Stone decided all we wanted to see was a train wreck. I think when we make someone like Jim Morrison into a star we forget the mind that it takes to write a real song. It's not easy. And even if the song is not as deep as you'd like, it is so much more sophisticated than 99% of the world can create. And when you hear him speak such as this then you realize there is a real mind behind the art that is technical in it's approach to life in some ways and because of this he is an art scientist.

The CIA used drugs, such as LSD, the music and satanism to exert control over the masses. Through MK Ultra mind control, many of our top stars were mind control victims. Many others were CIA operatives and/or satanists, such John Perry Barlow (Grateful Dead) and John Phillips from the Mamas and Papas.

I realize you made this comment 2 years ago, but I believe he would have found it impossible to patronize or condescend to so powerful and thoughtfully cadent and eloquent an intellect as Jim Morrison. You are exactly right, imo, the interviewer is astute enough to ascertain almost immediately that it would be HE that appeared ignorant and superficial (as you allude there do exist some interviews with Jim where this occurs and yet he remains polite and congenial while disarming the interviewer). Jim had an undeniably overwhelming intellectual presence and charisma when he chose to unleash it or that is to be his actualized self. But also, how many can have appreciated, apprehended his grasp of complex ideas and their trajectory in real time? For example at around 9:19 he is essentially telling us about Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook. That isnt some mystical power, that is the very essence of genius. He was a friggin genius.

I've never thought of Jim Morrison as a "hippie." People seem to think he was some kind of psychedelic Pied Piper on par with, say, Jerry Garcia or Grace Slick. I think he felt that the whole "flower power" bit was wrong headed and superficial. (I don't.) Morrison was in a pretty dark head space a lot of the time as well- the mid '60s acid wave on the West Coast was a supremely optimistic undertaking. Although he did his share of acid and all that I think he felt quite apart from the movement that grew up out of it.

Man, any one having doubts about how bright and clear headed this guy was will do well to listen to even just the first few minutes of this interview. His whole take on american society - it's recent past, present and probable future - shows how well informed he was and how clearly he understood societal dynamics in the broadest possible meaning of the term. Pointing out how the youth of his generation were nothing when he went to high school and college and how it had developed - as a group - into such a potent sociological force since 1965, because of the sheer size of the cohort...Analyzing the hippie movement as a one off middle-class sociological phenomenon only possible because of the surfeit of time and resources available to youth at that particular point in american history...Seeing increasing computerization as inevitable and the true challenge not being to deny it but rather to embrace it in a constructive fashion because of its inevitability...All of that in 5 min...How many 26 year olds, let alone iconic rock stars, can offhandedly hand down that kind of insight into society?

Sorry to say but Jim was NEVER 100% sober in his 20s... aint possible to speak like that as an addict without something running through the veins other than the life's blood.... if the genius was sober at that time he would have been in full withdrawal... i love him but the powers that be at the time didn't which I think had a play in his final demise

@@icarus7073 Jim Morrison wasn't an addict as far as drugs. He experimented plenty, but the only substance he used daily was alcohol. He doesn't sound drunk here, could he be buzzed or drinking already...it's possible. But he wasn't using pills or powder to the point of needing them on a daily basis, he disliked Pam's heroin addiction. He died scoring heroin for Pam.

What a great interview, really enjoyed it. One thing that struck me from it was how he sees himself, at 26 years of age, as 'over the hill', 'I only hang out with my contemporaries and don't know what young people are up to these days', etc. Even the interviewer said 'well 26 is young to me'. He even seems a bit aged in his slow deliberate way of replying. Odd how he sees himself so separate from 'young people' who he actually is one of.

And of course I don't agree with you saying that he is not really a poet. He wrote masterpieces that even today are being tought in collages... He is worth of every worship that comes with his poetry. Even his lyrics where poetic!!! In Greece this kind of poets are called "Cursed poets" that they technically lived a wild life as him, (alcoholics, junkies sexual actives and before you judge that, many freaking famous and great poets are cursed poets and are being tought in school nowadays!!!!)

@Jim Newcombe I think you clearly have no idea of him and his thoughts.I studied on his life when I was in 12th grade, and read books of everything James Douglas Morrison's poetry was born out of a period of tumultuous social and political change in American and world history. Besides Morrison's social and political perspective, his verse also speaks with an understanding of the world of literature, especially of the traditions that shaped the poetry of his age. His poetry also expresses his own experiences, thoughts, development, and maturation as a poet--from his musings on film at UCLA in The Lords and The New Creatures, to his final poems in Wilderness and The American Night. People see Morrison as a serious American poet, whose work is worthy of serious consideration in relation to its place in the American literary tradition. By discussing the poetry in terms of Morrison's influences and own ideas. www.litkicks.com/JamesDouglasMorrison please read that and you will understand, his intelligence, I can sure you that Morrison's poems though were taught in my school and collage......and I pretty mush know that many American collages are studying on his poems.....
