Morrison
My research paper is on Jim Morrison. The reason that I picked him is because he is one of my favorite musicians. His music is some of the most unique that I have ever heard. To start off, Jim Morrison's real name is James Dougless Morrison. He was born on December eighth in 1943. Jim died very young. Jim was born in Melbourne Florida. His father was an officer in the United States Navy and because of his duties, he was hardly ever home. This took a toll on Jim. His relationship with his parents was a strange one. Whenever anyone asked him about his parents he always told them that his parents were dead.

The was Jim decided to come up with this name was from a poem by William Blake. The part of the poem goes "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it truly is, infinite." That is some pretty heavy stuff, but then again, Jim Morrison was that type of guy. The combination of rock singer and poet that made Jim Morrison's "The Doors" so unique from everyone else at the time. "The Doors" reached the top of the charts in 1967 with their second single, "Light my Fire." Then, six albums followed after that which included classic songs such as "Riders on the Stor
