Howdy,

I am a 29 years old person from the City of Buenos Aires. I listen The Doors since I'm fifteen years. I begun to listen music at 13 years, with the kids with whom I used to skate. The music I heard between 13-15 was punk and subgenres like hardcore, skate-rock, etc. The Doors was the collective who introduced me to the world of (Acid) Rock, it happened around March 1993 and soon after beginning to listen to them, I bought a book by an Argentinian journalist that borrowed much from NOHGOA and other known sources of Morrison/The Doors' history. My change from a punk/skater culture to rock culture occured in those days of 1993. I stopped listening hc, punk and skate-rock and begun hearing The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Floyd, Hendrix and such. Needless to say that with this change, my inclinations also changed. I stopped being interested in skating, in being a mischievous punk in the neighborhood, and I also stopped the habit of drinking and going to street-fight on Saturday's night. This things happened when I was 13-15. From 16 onwards, due to The Doors influence, I begun a more instrospective and lonely life. I stopped mixing with my skater friends and begun to give my first steps towards where I'm now,
because since 1993, when I have read the first poems by JDM that I feel a special liking for writing and, specially, poetry. I've to thanks JDM for goading me with his poems and inspiring me for becoming a real poet. From '93 to 2000 I've heard almost exclusively rock, and reckoning I find that I've heard their disks hundreds of times. I've heard all their disks, including "Other Voices" (that I bought when I was living alone in India, so the lyrics of one of the songs on it made much sense when I heard it) That I think, it's the disk of The Doors that I like the lest, obviously because the absence of JDM more than because any other thing. I've read all or almost all the books about JDM and The Doors. The only one that I don't keep of them is the one written by PKM, a person that I dislike deeply as much other persons do, as I
saw. This one, I have thrown to a river in India (after taking for keeping some of the pictures of JDM on it). I also have read JDM's poetry, the three books published in the US (TL&TNC, Wildernes and TAM) Of all the poetry I've read, JDM is my favourite, his poetry is very, very much full of meaning to me that I've read his books (may sound a lie, but it's true) dozens of times.

Lately I'm not hearing The Doors, excepting rarities, since I have decided to stop collecting their music and books for collecting visual (video) material, like HWY and concert movies.

I was baptized when I was a baby and sent to a catholic school when I was a kid, until high school but in 2001, at 24, I took initiation (in India) and I've became a hindu. As of today I'm involved in study (I want to become a professional writer and translator or philologist) and self-employment. I'm also involved in creative projects: web publishing, coding a game of interactive fiction, drama and a book of poetry. I've came to this forum seeking inspiration, I hope I'll find it!

I had a modem for the first time in late '94 then quitted for some time in 2000 when I went to US, Europe and India. I returned in 2004 and returned to the internet in February 2006. LQ, I've to say, one week ago, when I discovered your site, I felt very happy about it, since the last impression of a LQ that I have, was the page of PKM where she, vainly, called herself LQ, something that produced me great loath and dislike towards she. I've read their site on its entirity, in 1999, and I felt very dissapointed by all her arguments and points of view. That's why I felt much relaxed when I've found yours. Well, I think that's enough for presenting myself, I'll check this forums regularly.

Thick regards,

Clown Boy.
