I'm not going to make any bones about this: The Doors are one of the worst rock bands you were ever sold, with Jim Morrison the worst lyricist/3rd rate Mick Jagger impersonator this side of The Strokes (with even less of a sense of humor). I find Sugerman personally responsible for extending the shelf life of these worthless, pretentious hacks who comprise the single most overrated band in music history with the release of his book "No One Here Gets Out Alive." Sample quote:
"My personal belief is that Jim Morrison was a god."I mean, can you beieve a grown man pushing 30 wrote this? The cult of Jim Morrison revolves around perpetual adolescence fuelled by drugs and poor taste in music. The cult is as strong as ever today (Rolling Stone runs a feature on him about every five minutes. The demand for anything Jim Morrsion-related is so great that Moderm Humorist has created a Jim Morrison Simulatron that begs to be seen. It's quite a fitting tribute.
