Sonic Youth Vs. The Doors
Say what you will about the Lizard King, but he is far more Punk than Kim Gordon could ever hope to be. At least Jim Morrison was a feminist on a mission, and very much interested in equal rights for squirrels. Most importantly of all, The Doors collectively as a band always supported their local scene and published more 'zines than Larry Flynt on payday, oh my brothers and only friends. Take that Thurston Moore! Your Ecstatic Peace label is a waste of time. I mean this sincerely, Mr. Moore. Why waste your time producing some musical rubbish by a clan of geeks known as Pagoda? What the hell is your problem, my friend? Answer me. For those of you deaf to musical hubris and asexual tendencies, Pagoda is a "band" led by the talentless actor and former drug addict Michael Pitt, perhaps some of my younger readers remember him best as some random dork wasting space in a sexy little romp that failed miserably at the box office entitled The Village.
Don't get me wrong, though. The Doors did sell out a little movement in music they call Punk. Of course, this was after they invented it. For, you see, there would be no Ramones without The Doors. FACT! That's just how it is. As for Sonic Youth, all they ever offered persons with a musical ear is nothing more than a lengthy discography full of rubbish. The rampant heterophobia that exists in the Sonic Youth camp is unforgivable forever and ever. Kurt Cobain died because Thurston Moore scuffed up his ultra hip Converse sneakers one gray April morn. I totally shat you not, my friends. I would never shat you in any instance. Back to The Doors being superior to Sonic Youth, just think of a little song called "People Are Strange," which is really more than a song if you take the time to really think about it, as it is more so a universal fact! I get so angry with Sonic Youth fans and their respective Grunge garb. What are they trying to prove? Who's baby are they sitting exactly? IS IT YOURS? IS IT!
Some may say that Oliver Stone's movie ruined The Doors precious legacy, and this is true to an extent. Of course, a little band called The Doors of the 21st Century did not help things much either, with the repulsive former lead singer of The Cult doing his best Val Kilmer impersonation on vocal duties. For goodness sake, give me a break already! The Doors keyboard maestro Ray Manzarek has done so much damage to the band's legacy by constantly referring to Jimbo as some sort of spiritual leader sent to Earth from another planet to help us all be at peace with the Troll People. This is Barbershop Quartet bliss, is it not? I am honestly at the end of a very short rope and all is uneasy all up in my jockey shorts this fantasy-driven evening. I do apologize for my wordplay, but it is difficult for me to fully explain just how awful Sonic Youth truly is. I can't think of a single catchy song, all of it is just a terrible racket to my cute little ears. And is it just me, or does Kim Gordon look like an anorexic scarecrow?
Clearly, the creatively fertile late '60's made for some musical bliss. The Doors released a total of six studio albums that took them to the year 1971, which was when Morrison caught his death in a Paris bathtub. My main concern amongst the music elite is the sad legacy The Doors have had thrust upon them in recent years. My advice to you is to view them within the context of their respective time and place. Don't give me any of your Riot Grrrl rewritings of history, because I refuse to read it! Rock out to the Robby Krieger(Doors guitarist and sometimes songwriter)jam "Light My Fire" and free your little Hipster mind before it is too late. Toss your copy of "Sonic Nurse" and replace it with "The Soft Parade." We all know that the very best music is often times released on a major label, excluding Sonic Youth, of course. For you see, Sonic Youth is music for a shabby lifestyle, as where the music of The Doors is music for the music fan. What other band in the history of bandom(just made up that word)can you think of who has mingled Jazz and Rock and Electric Blues tendencies so deliciously other than Jim Morrison and his world famous Doors experience? Excluding Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart, obviously.
Do keep in mind that The Doors really did cut loose live with their Acid Rock drenched improvisational techniques, as where Sonic Youth are perpetual lifeless zombies playing badly out-of-tune stringed instruments. Now, I am going to leave you with something to think about, cadets. I want you to compare and contrast the intellectual prowess of Mr. Mojo Rising Morrison up against an epic fraud affectionately referred to as Thurston. Enjoy!

Kim Gordon, anorexic scarecrow:
don't touch my breast - I'm just working at my desk
don't put me to the test - I'm just doing my best
shopping at MaxFields - power for you to wield
dreams of going to the Grammies - `till you poked me with your whammy
you spined the disc - now you're moving your wrist
I'm just from Encino - why are you so meano
I know a secret or two about Goo
she won't mind if I tell you
she likes to wear green underwear
and lays down almost anywhere
Delicate like angel food cake
They say if you press too hard on it
It'll squish into a dense ball
It will lose its fluffiness
That's what you get when you use a boxed mix
Can you get some satisfaction
Fear of a female planet?
