Just wondering if this might have happened to others round here...
When I was a teenage stoner I loved The Doors. Then at some point in my late twenties I just found them embarrassing, especially Morrisson's lyrics. It just sounded like bad sixth form poetry to me and I stopped listening for a decade or so. But prompted by hearing a couple of Doors songs on radio or when out and about last year I started listening to them again and it's all clicked again. Maybe it's distance or something, but Morrisson no longer makes me cringe, and I'm getting more out of them than I ever did. It's not nostalgia either. I feel like I'm getting into them on a some different level now. Quite possibly the symptom of a mid-life crisis, I suppose. But I'm glad I've given them another go because it really is like discovering them all over again.
