Just amazing. But, I think you're looking at it the wrong way, my friend. Whereas most songwriters write an experience of drugs, or "how they make them feel," Morrison did much more and dug much deeper. It's like he carved out a piece of himself. He created much more. He had a way with words; he was an artist. He painted pictures, he developed such an imagination. It's incredible. Though, remember -- it's not always the topic and how over/under used it is... It's how it's written. [/b][/quote]Hey Anthony Didn't know if you had seen this story on Rolling Stone's site about Jim Morrison\'s last days It's very interesting reading. The author, Stephen Davis, also wrote a good biography about Led Zeppelin back in the late 1980s.

TIS I love that album! Yes, Carole King does deserve a spot on this list.
