I do, and I can't get it out of my head. I also feel so much pain when I hear his pain in concerts (Miami) or in an interview.

Yes, and mostly for him. He missed a lot of great movies and music. He didn't have enough time to settle in, to find out who he was, which is why he went to Paris (that's what Robby said). And for the world - we have no rebels left who'll speak the truth regardless of where the wind is blowing.

No, I do not.
He lived at a different time, in a different culture ... and he lived a life that I only know from the media, not from my life.
It's just too bad he died so early ... oh my god, what else would he have done ?!
Too bad, really a pity, but I do not struggle.

Out of curiosity, what are the biggest cultural differences you see from back then and today? |

Above all, this is the difference between America and Switzerland.
The law is a very different ... America is in my view MUCH freer but also more brutal than it is in my country.
I'm 54, I know the time Jim was living just from the media, I never saw her. It is far away.

I think I struggle more with how unhappy he was during his brief time here and how painful his last couple of years were.

I do very much. From middle school to middle-age. But mostly, I've been struggling with my life. When it becomes too unbearable, I'll have a Jim Morrison/The Doors day... I'll read in hopes that I feel less alone, I'll listen to music (mostly concerts), interviews, books, and it does help a little. I had to go somewhere today I didn't wanna go, and I get real nervous when I drive, so I sang "L.A. Woman" a cappella to put me in a frame of mind where I try to tell myself there's nothing to fear with my temporary alter-ego. Sounds crazy, but I'll have conversations in my head, and trying to objectively think how he'd respond. I'm not religious, I don't believe in life after death, but there's been many times I'm thinking of something, and on random, a Doors song comes up, and Jim is saying exactly what I was thinking, and to help myself, I'll pretend he's communicating with me. Lately, my life has been more imagination than reality, because it's too hard to bear.
But I do appreciate everyone here, and I think it can be fun and cathartic. I feel a special kinship, so I can say this here, but it might be influenced by my buzz.
