Althouse "Wrote Annie C in the comments to the first post of the day, which was about Roy Moore but ended by taking an off ramp into the old Doors song "People Are Strange.' "
I had a similar response. Jim Morrison experienced intense love from his fans. He was perhaps the most sexually attractive man on earth as you see him in that old video. But the words were the words of the complete social outcast, utterly unsuccessful with women and taking his loserdom to a dark place.
There's the repeated line that resonates with today's sexual harassment stories: "Women seem wicked when you're unwanted...."
By the way, I've never been a Doors fan, but I've always liked that one song, "People Are Strange." . . .
Comments in this post about Morrison include:
"But he IS better looking than Louis CK." . . . who apparently emulated Morrison's stage actions. Another comment:
. . . "But she also remembered Morrison had told her he had been fat in high school and that lithe body was achieved by basically giving up food for alcohol and drugs. The booze diet worked until it didn't - Morrison was pretty bloated by the time he died. " . . .
At least Morrison didn't slaughter worshippers in a church, though perhaps many of his groupies killed themselves by living his lifestyle. TD
