Weird Al Yankovick: Craigslist

I was impressed with the way Weird Al Yankovick captured the essence of Jim Morrison on this one. Even though Jim Morrison was before my time, I always idolized him and was fascinated by his attitude, enthralled by his poetry, and completely lost in the music he made with The Doors.

Of course, after watching this I wanted to find some real Jim Morrison to watch. I can’t watch a knock-off Jim, however well it’s done. Weird Al sure did a great job channeling Jim, but I need a little more.

Here is another of my favorite songs and one that used to make me want to dance like a shaman when I was younger.

Somehow, I’ve always felt some connection to Jim Morrison, and perhaps that was what made him who he was. Jim Morrison was captivating and when he sang, I couldn’t help but want to close my eyes and rock my head back and forth, getting lost within my mind, the music, and Jim’s voice.

I was born way too late…
