Jim Morrison

    8 décembre 1943 – 3 juillet 1971

Son influence s'est étendue au-delà de la musique, englobant la poésie et le cinéma. L'héritage de Morrison réside dans sa fusion unique de musique rock avec une poésie profonde et un art visuel, s'établissant comme une figure influente dans l'histoire de la musique populaire.

      " Jim Morrison, avec les Doors, incarnait l'ange noir, le rebelle que les adultes jugeraient sans cause, le scandaleux qui, dans son cuir luisant, faisait des choses que la morale réprouve avec ferveur.[...] Dans ces poèmes, textes de chansons, écrits publiés en revue, Morrison dit le blues : hachés, syncopés, mystérieux, ses mots peu à peu scandent la grande colère et la grande détresse de l'homme qui hait les modèles qu'on lui offre, et qui ne parvient pas à se sortir su désordre de la dérision. " Evelyne Pieiller, Révolution.

      Ce volume complète Seigneurs et Nouvelles créatures en ce sens que sont maintenant disponibles la quasi-totalité des écrits de Jim Morrison. La première partie de ce volume regroupe, classés disque par disque, les textes des chansons écrites par Morrison pour Les Doors. Une prière américaine n'avait été publiée aux Etats-Unis qu'en plaquette tirée à 200 exemplaires uniquement réservés aux amis de Morrison. Ode à L.A. en songeant à feu Brian Jones est un écrit plus rare encore puisqu'il n'avait circulé que sous la forme d'une feuille imprimée, distribuée au public lors de concerts des Doors en 1969. Enfin, le texte qui termine ce recueil fut publié en 1968 dans la revue américaine Eye.

      Jim Morrison qui ne concevait pas d'être Pop Star à trente ans, se voulait avant tout un écrivain. Paradoxalement, c'est en "poète maudit" qu'il édita, à compte d'auteur, la première édition de son recueil de poèmes : The Lords and the New Creatures. Dans ces textes, traduits ici, c'est l'envers du décor Doors-Morrison et sans doute la face cachée des mythiques années soixante qui apparaît : l'aveu lucide de l'inhumanité de l'Amérique, de la solitude et du cauchemar. Le tout, vécu et restitué, au travers d'un sens privilégié des images et de la simplicité naïve des mots, dû à la formation cinématographique de Jim Morrison avec sans doute le rêve d'un grand film métaphorique et impitoyable sur le réel américain.

      Jim Morrison è uno dei rari personaggi-mito di cui più se ne spulcia la vita epiù ne risplende la leggenda. Il Re Lucertola è stato e rimane trasgressivo,lirico, bello, perennemente giovane, e straordinariamente tutte queste coseinsieme. Poetate queste coseinsieme. Poeta maledetto, evangelista acido, ha invitato il suo pubblico apassare attraverso le porte della percezione a liberarsi dalla prigione delconformismo sociale e familiare e a cercare una coscienza nuova, più alta econsapevole. Questa biografia è un'occasione per vivere un lungo e intensorapporto ravvicinato con l'angelo ribelle del rock e per compiere un viaggioemozionante negli ambienti più borderline di quegli anni.

    • Nell'estate del 1971, al momento della sua tragica e misteriosa morte, il leader dei Doors aveva scritto più di settecento pagine di poesie, aneddoti, epigrammi, saggi, racconti, soggetti e sceneggiature. Raccolte e riordinate dagli amici, quelle pagine sono confluite in questo volume, che ripropone, con l'originale a fronte, liriche e appunti
