Jim Morrison:Life,Death,Legend, by Stephen Davis pages 15

In this part of the book Jim is still a college student.He hitchhikes 450 miles to Bekeley for a one-time only screening of French existentialist hero Jean Genet's ultrarare homoerotic prison film,'Un Chant d'Amour'.It was only the hippest,most hard-core cinema freaks in L.A.took the teouble to make the scene.Jim wrote in his notebook after the film,"Cure blindness with a whore's spittle."

I think Jim had an absloute fasination with film because he wanted a brief escape from life.That's why I watch films.You can be somewhere else for a little while you can just drift away and let you mind go numb.But it nwas a demented mind,I can absolutely relate,beauty is created out of someone elses pain and anguish.
