"Last night I pulled in a hazy black and white signal that was not even listed. It was an old Jim Morrison concert, or maybe a pirated video. These things are never made clear.

But you don’t get a lot of Jim Morrison, that is what we call a Special—straight black and white footage of crazy Jim on stage in the old days, with a voice like Fred Neal’s and eyes smarter than James Dean’s and a band that could walk with the King, or anybody else. There were some nights when The Doors were the best band in the world.

Morrison understood this, and it haunted him all his life. On some nights he was noisy and lewd, and on others he just practiced—but every once in a while he would get it into his head to go out and dance with the big boys, and on a night like that he was more than special. Jim Morrison could play music with anybody.

One of these days we will get into naming names for the real rock’n’roll hall of fame—in that nervous right now realm right beyond Elvis and Chuck Berry and Little Richard—and the talk will turn to names like Bob and Mick and to tunes like Morrison Hotel.

Play it sometime. Crank it all the way up on one of those huge obsolete wire-burning MacIntosh amps and 80 custom built speakers. Then stand back somewhere on the mainbeams of a big log house and feel the music come up through your femurs… ho, ho… and after that, you can always say, for sure, that you once knew what it was like to hear men play rock’n’roll music.

February 24, 1986" -HUNTER S THOMPSON

My pilot light has flickered out 
You've knocked me off the hook 
The person you are trying to reach is no longer here 
I'm not really tall, dark and handsome 
I just look that way 
I'm a canvas that bleeds 
And I'm painted with fingers 
Childish pictures 
Of you that still linger 
Bury you're wasted into the moon 
Hoping that it sinks to the earth soon 
Bury you're wasted into the moon 
I hope that it sinks into the earth soon 

My pilot light has flickered out 
You've knocked me off the hook 
I'm a canvas that bleeds 
And I'm painted with fingers 
Childish pictures of you that still linger 
I am a VCR 
A funeral of dead memory waste 
I'm a VCR 
A funeral of dead memory waste 
You can see it on my face 
I'm a VCR funeral 
Of dead memory waste 
You can see it on my face 
My smile is a chain link fence 
I dare not frown 
For fear of what comes out 
My smile is a chain link fence 
And I dare not frown for fear of what comes out 

Sing a song kitty 
Sing it 
Sing it kitty 
Sing it 
Some people don't think that Lily 
Is smart enough to understand what I'm thinking 
But I know if she could she would kill 
Everybody that I hate, 'cause she loves me 
'Cause I took care of her since she was a little baby 

I am a VCR funeral of dead memory waste 
You can see it in my face 
As drink crawls down the esophagus staircase 
Into my bowels of hell 
Naked like clown faces all smeared clean 
Naked like clown faces all smeared clean in the spotlight 
Naked like clown faces all smeared clean in the spotlight 

I'm a VCR funeral of dead memory waste you can see it on my face 
Dead memory waste 

Kill me, kill everyone, you can let them all die

You are afraid that you are no equal 
While you are spending my money 
You are afraid you are no equal while you are spending my money

Why would I want to be equal with anyone

As you are listening 
I want you to know 
That you are nothing 
But a screen that I will project 
My images of sorrow, pain and sex upon 
Although there is no difference between the three

That I project my images of suffering, sorrow, pain, sex 
And the brief glimmer of happiness I find in the misery 
Of those who are sitting in the theatre of which this screen exists 
I want you to know as you are listening 
That you are nothing but a screen 
That I project my images of sorrow, pain, suffering, sex 
And the brief glimpse of happiness I get from the misery 
Of those who sit in the theatre that this screen exists will feel while they listen 
The brief glimpse of happiness that I feel as 
Those who sit in the theatre that this screen exists will feel as they listen
