Music reviews of An American Prayer
Music Review: Indian, Indian, What Did You Die For?
Rating: 5 Stars
Indian says "Nothing at all."
...Gently they stir. Gently rise. The dead are newborn awakening, with ravaged limbs and wet souls. Gently they sigh in rapt funeral amazement...
Two things that Jim Morrison was obsessed about was death and his c---. What is really freaky in "An American Prayer" is when he recites poetry about the death OF his c---!
This album is deep Morrison. Too deep for the Casey Kasum or Ed Sullivan crowd. So deep that deep thinkers just might get the true meaning of the Morrison lyrics: "Words got me the wound, and words will get me well if you believe it."
For me, it represents the Fundamentalist's persecution of "gays," and the Fundamentalist's promises of "Reparative Therapy" in those 'ex-gay' ministries!
Highly recommended!
Description of An American Prayer
The Doors recorded six studio albums with Jim Morrison as their singer from 1967 to 1971, hitting the charts with a series of pop songs that were at least as good as Tommy James and the Shondells. On their albums, they indulged in Morrison's pretentious obsessions that included extended pieces about Oedipal complexes and the end of the world. Those obsessions have been exaggerated by The Doors myth that continues to this day. This is a collection of Morrison's poetry, embellished by the surviving Doors several years after the fact. That the live rendition of "Roadhouse Blues" is the only noteworthy selection should tell you what you need to know about the poetry. --Rob O'ConnorGeneral CDs
