Jim Morrison was a truly remarkable guy. He was the son of a Navy Admiral, brought up in the same kind of middle-class comfort that he (and many others)sought, and still seek, to rebell against. In short, Jim was prepared to go over the edge to follow what he believed to be his true path. He had the courage to forsake the safety of his life and choose the stormy waters to sail into. He did not compromise. Ever. But he paid the ultimate price. But for people like Jim, there is no old age or retirement. Only immortality. And that would be ruined if he was now an old wash-out like that other legend Brando faded into. Sadly Jim was flawed, like all of us. the difference was that his flaw (alcoholisim) was used to vilify him and prosecute him by a society that (in the 1960's) was terrifyed of what him and his ilk stood for.
'Jim Morrison lived out there on the edge. All the time. Somebody has to, in order to make up for those of us who choose to play it safe all the time.' - Danny Sugarman

Totally overrated semi-talent who discovered that he had marketable cheekbones. Worshipped the world over as a "poet" by people who have never read a single line of verse. Mistaken as the originator of ideas stolen from far better minds- mainly Arthur Rimbaud, Aldous Huxley, and William Blake. Musically, a pitchy blues-impersonator with a one-octave range. Fame seems to hinge almost entirely on his young death.
Wow! Jim Morrison finally lost some weight, and now he's going to be a complete asshole to his bandmates! Until he dies and stuff . . .

A trademark of Jim Morrison. Heard in songs such as "Light My Fire" it is an absolute embodiment and representation of the legend. When performed correctly, the performer will take a deep breath, and then let out a very low, raspy, almost gasp-like shout that will sound like they've been a lifetime smoker. Popular among annoyances and pranksters, letting out a Jim Morrison scream during a family prayer without warning will guarentee a laugh 100% of the time.
My family and I were sitting down to eat our Thanksgiving turkey, and while we were praying, I just randomly let out a Jim Morrison scream, FUNNIEST SHIT EVER

Living life without considering that there are consequences to actions, good or bad. Lack of worry and abundance of self confidence to a fault.

To go on a binge; to use lots of alcohol and various drugs in combination with each other, as Morrison infamously did so often.
Person1: Yeah. we're gonna drink some whiskey, do a bit of coke and eat some oxies.
Person2:Woah, you guys be careful on that Jim Morrison diet.

Sudden urge that your bowel movement wants to 'Break on through to the other side!' only to find it floating lifeless a moment later.
