Now why do I find this to be a non folk event?

Because you spend your time stalking shambles? Happy Birthday Jim. Never have leather trousers been worn so well.

Nonsense. Morrison was a canny poseur; saw a character to play and died doing it. Faux-menace and lyric idiocy and no proper bass player... a mediocre band that rode a good wave and have all been coasting since Morrison croaked. And that stupid noodling organ solo... no, that stuff was the fraudulent wing of sixties rock.

Nonsense - Jim Morrison is a stalwart of Sharp's and the singers' club in Foley Street; none sings 'Lady Chatterley' quite as well, and few have the wit, reparteee and general charisma of Jim. If it is his birthdya, then many happy returns to a fine fellow.

I visited his grave in Pere la Chaise, Paris, someyears ago. What an experience! You could smell it from the other side of the cemetery and it was piled high with flowers, books, poems...

People are strange
when you're a Stranger
Faces seem ugly
When you're alone
Women are wicked
when you're unwanted
streets are uneven
when you're down....JDM

A lyric as simple, true, and beautiful as they come. RIP, Poet.

Heck of a Morris dancer and a pretty good fiddler too. Didn't know that he was that old.
