Re: Some thoughts on Jim Morrison vs. Morrissey
Well, I know Dylan (and the Beatles) might be more significant for his generation, and that Madonna, if any - as a symbol of pop - might be very significant for hers. But I also thinks that both the Doors and the Smiths were expressing "important" feeling and thoughts about/in their own time, but they may not be the first "spokemen" that people may choose, I know. Still I think, that you can say that while Dylan (and Madonna?) expressed their genertion from the inside, Morrissey and Morrison expressed it from the outside - or at least from a distant. They were not a direct part of their generation, in the Dylan sense, but they were still exploring certain key feelings of their time, and then turning it into art.
And, no, Busy Clippers, you're not helping me with any homework, hehe, I just happens to be very analytical in general, but you're giving me ideas, you surely are ... -Cudweed
