People Are Strange

Am drawing in the midst of my classic rock weekend.  Had forgotten how much I'd loved the Doors, I have since I was young. More specifically Jim Morrison.  In an effort to refresh my memory and rediscover my favorite man, I googled him.  I found that he was born in Florida and spent time during his childhood in Jacksonville, as his father was stationed at the Naval Base there. He also graduated from high school in Alexandria, VA. where my grandparents and aunt and uncle on my fathers side live-a family living, at least when my father, aunt, and uncle were growing up, the military life like Morrison's (they were even Navy like his).  Morrison was evidently very much influenced by Nietzsche and his belief of Apollonian and Dionysian duality, to the point that it would later appear in his lyrics/poetry.  I had made a blog entry on this just a few days early.  I was completely unaware of this when I was younger, nor had I listened to the lyrics enough to make the connection.  It is so weird how our unconcious asthetic and auditory decisions manifest in work.  I was unaware of what I found about Morrison, lets face it as a middleschooler I just thought he was hott and liked how his music sounded, I had no concious knowledge of his interests and yet had just posted about Nietzsche and his thoughts on duality early, duality being very much an interest to Morrison.  It never ceases to amaze me, how every interest I had when I was younger has shown up again in later life-specifically in my work, which I consider to be my inner world reflected outwardly.  Morrison also had an interest in mysticism, symbolism, and ancient mythologies. I've developed an interest in these things as well.  Iggy Pop claims to have written his song The Passenger about Morrison. The Passenger is my favorite Iggy Pop song. Again, I had no knowledge of this connection..strange days
