Totally agree with Wombat's idea of future Jim Morrison.  He'd be in prison for a sex crime, for sure.

Heh, that too.

I'm glad some people agree. This is the first time I have ever dared to express this opinion aloud.

one thing i dislike about the doors is that ignorant, white trash stoner chicks have a boner for jim morrison and thay have that stupid poster/flag/whatever*. 

I wonder the same thing about the Che beret image - especially considering how revolting Guevara would have felt about being objectified in merchandise.  Sweet irony.

I will drop in here the fact, which I have mentioned before, that the iconic image of Che was created by Jim Fitzpatrick, the artist that did most of Thin Lizzy's album covers.

The more you know!

Fitzpatrick recently announced that he was planning to copyright the Che image and give the rights to the family, because of the issue you mentioned.

Making his descendants wealthy from capitalizing on his image would be even more ironic.

Every time I watch the Presidents Race at Nationals Park, I wonder what those actual presidents would think of being memorialized in this way.

It isn't just ignorant white trash stoner chicks (or at least it wasn't when I was noticing it). There was a guy in one of my high school yearbooks who had his picture taken, shirtless, next to that poster. Amusingly homoerotic!

See, Morrision was a twink in his time, if he had survived he would have converted to bear.

With the drinking and not taking care of himself (and the copious facial hair), he was well on his way at the end there.

I've always thought a great name for a gay baseball team would be The Bad News Twinks.

There have been some fantastic KITH links recently. Keep it up people.
