Jim Morrison Unleashes The Beast On Variety Show

The Lizard King quickly adapted to his long awaited fate, and was no longer a cowardly young poet unable to face his audience

By December 16th of 1968, only three years after the band had formed, The Doors’ Jim Morrison, also know as Jimbo, was commanding the stage and had taken the world by surprise. His crazy onstage antics, beliefs, and explicit conversations with his audience had quickly become a spectacle wanting to be witnessed by the masses, near and far.

The hit song and single, Touch Me, written by Robby Krieger off of the bands’ fourth studio album, reached number three on The Billboard Hot 100. The guitarist had shown major presence in the bands latest record due to Jim Morrisons battle and addiction with alcoholism, and crescive need to write poetry. Jim couldn’t express enough that he wasn’t born to be a singer, but a dark-romatic-intriguing poet.

“I like people who shake other people up and make them feel uncomfortable.” And, that is exactly what you could count on from Jim. A man of truth, and caliginosity.

Enjoy! This is one of my favorite song by the Doors, ever!
 

+Touch Me lyrics below+

Yeah! Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?
Now, I’m gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I

Come on, come on, come on, come on
Now touch me, baby
Can’t you see that I am not afraid?
What was that promise that you made?
Why won’t you tell me what she said?
What was that promise that you made?

I’m gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I
I’m gonna love you
Till the heavens stop the rain
I’m gonna love you
Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I

Stronger than dirt
