Very underrated musician, and former guitarist for the Doors. While Jim Morrison definitely has the spotlight for the Doors, Robby the youngest member of the group, was also important as a songwriter, responsible for the hit "Light My Fire" as well as half the material on "The Soft Parade". As well as being a brilliant guitarist he's a pretty damn good vocalist too. He mightn't be Jim Morrison but yeah he can sing alright. Check out his string of solo albums.
And any doors fans will know that "Spanish Caravan" and his improvised live guitar solos justify his greatness.

Person 1 : Man "Love Her Madly" is an awesome song. A Morrison favorite of mine along with "Runnin' Blue"
Person 2 : Actually both those songs were written by Robby Krieger
Person 1: Who?
Person 2: The Doors guitarist....the guy who sings on the chorus of Runnin' Blue
Person 1: No.....that's Bob Dylan idiot! The Doors were only session musicians that acted as Jim's backing group!
*Person 2 facepalms*

A concept coined by Karl Marx referring to society's extreme obsession with material objects.
Commodity Fetishism is everywhere in Western Society today. Just look around around you. All the commotion surrounding Apple releasing yet another iphone with minor improvements. Cars are another example. Inanimate products which are so well known by their particular brand and certain model type to everyone, with most having definitions on urban dictionary even going so far as to define the certain type of person who drives such a model. When in reality the only importance of a car for most people is a sustainable mode of transport that can get you from one place to another. As a guitarist myself I find the guitar world is also guilty of this, many placing excessive importance over brand names (Gibson, Fender etc.), models (Telecaster, Strat, SG, Les Paul etc.) and hell even types of this model (1959 telecaster, Roadworn Strat, <insert famous guitarist here> signature model Les Paul Custom, Standard, Studio, express, 100, 100 elitist etc. etc.). Commodity Fetishism is the explanation why people get worked up for hours comparing the minor variations and specifications of the same 6 stringed instrument that they can barely play.
This behavior is heavily mocked in the character Patrick Bateman from the movie (and book) "American Psycho".

1. "That's bone. And the lettering is something called Silian Rail...
Look at that subtle off-white coloring. The tasteful thickness of it. Oh my God, it even has a watermark..."
- Patrick Bateman's words when comparing his business card with his co-worker's identical looking ones in "American Psycho".
2. "Thanks to commodity fetishism, I got bullied when I was 8 because my parents drove a Ford Fiesta while their parents drove Volvo*. And kids don't even drive...."
*defined on Urban dictionary as "The only car a true pimp would be seen in"

A website which prides itself as "America's Only Humor Site" most often featuring some very interesting topics presented in a list form with a humorous outlook. While a great place to learn facts and be entertained, with a nice hint of benign satire, the writers of Cracked.com are starting to take things too far.
While these subjects may be quite interesting and informative , topics such as "5 Uncomfortable Truths About Rape on College Campuses" and "8 Terrifying Life Lessons From a Former Terrorist", do NOT belong on "America's Only Humor Website" despite how many little jokes they use decorate them so that they can remain funny while actually being deadly serious. What also doesn't belong on "America's only humor website" is pretty much all of the writer's preachy and one sided liberal bias, which causes the reader who doesn't share the exact same views to rather feel alienated and demonized by the writers WHOSE JOB IT IS TO HUMOR THEM NOT INDOCTRINATE THEM and also their many commentators many of whom only read Cracked.com because "Americas Only Humor Website's" idea of satire caters to a sense of humor (the "only humor") that suits their own views.
