Obviously Fred didnt read Jims poetry. It was clear to me when I was just 10 years old that Jim turned most of his poems into lyrics just by switching things around here and there. Without my interest in Jim Morrison, I wouldve never read Jack Kerouac, William S. Burroughs, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, Aldous Huxley, Jean Cocteau, Arthur Rimbaud, Paul Verlaine, or Charles Baudelaire. His influence turned me into an avid reader, a poet, a writer, a performer, and an occultist. My first exposure to Austin Osman Spare, shamanism, and witchcraft was through Jim Morrisson. I pretty much owe him and his biographers for a good chunk of my interests.
