Jim Morrison


Jim Morrison (1943, EEUU -1971, Paris) was an American singer, lyricist and poet. Was the lead singer and lyrics of The Doors. Is considered to be one of the most charismatic lead singer in rock music history. Also he is the author of a lot of books of poetry. He was an intelligent person who studied: literature, poetry, religion, philosophy and psychology. He was influenced for Nietzsche, Blake, Rimbaud, Baudelaire... He is a prototypical rock star: surly, sexy, scandalous and mysterious. In the March of 1971 he travel to Paris with his girlfriend Pamela Courson and took up residence in a rented apartment. Four month later Morrison died with 27 years for a heroin overdose in his bath.

I choose this character because I think Jim Morrison and The Doors change completely the music of the sixties in America. Also I think that Jim Morrison was a very particular and a little strange person for a lot of people but also a reference and a genius for the other people because he makes a lot of contributions in the world of the music but also in the world of the poetry.
