Quotes by JDM:

Excerpts from "A Conversation with Jim Morrison" (Interview by Ben Fong-Torres, post Miami trial, Feb.1971)... 

On "Feast of Friends", filmed during the Doors 1968 tour: 
"Feast of Friends was a true poetic documentary of 'where it was at', at that time... There's a certain moment when you're right in time with your audience. Then you both grow out of it. And you have to realize it." 

On the 1969 Miami concert: 
"In a way, that was a culmination of our mass-performing career. Subconsciously, I was trying to get it across in that concert. I was trying to reduce it to absurdity. And I think it worked too well..."
What are you doing here?
What do you want?
Is it music?
We can play music.
But you want more.
You want something & someone new.
Am I right?
Of course I am.
I know what you want.
You want ecstacy
Desire & dreams.
Things not exactly what they seem.
I lead you this way, he pulls that way.
I'm not singing to an imaginary girl.
I'm talking to you, my self.
Let's recreate the world.
The palace of conception is burning.
Look. See it burn.
Bask in the warm hot coals.
You're too young to be old
You don't need to be told
You want to see things as they are
You know exactly what I do
Everything
