Welcome to Creative Thinkers International
Embracing the world with positive creativity since Sept 2007.
Jim Morrison
I have to say I am not a die hard fan of his music, but I am utterly inspired by his poetry. Maybe his music was before my time or I just change feelings on music as time passes. Something I loved years ago never holds that passion that it once did for me.
I have yet to read the lyrics from all his songs but im sure I would find a new found joy for them if i did.

The Doors are one of my favorite bands. Not only is Jim my favorite male singer and poet,but the Doors musicians are great musicians in my opinion. The Doors are also unique,and still have many fans today of all ages. I wasnt born until 1980 but I love them.:) Of course though,anyone of any age can love music from any era. Jim didn't write all of the Doors songs but I love the songs he wrote too. He wrote "The Crystal Ship", "The End", "Moonlight Drive" to name a few.
