Five Fantastic Men’s Toys:

All right, it’s true. Most of the sex toys made today are designed with women in mind. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t some superb sex toys out there for men! Here you can find 5 sex toys for men.

1) Dream Sleeve

Description :

  • A premium, realistic masturbation sleeve made of super-lifelike FuturoticTM material
  • Features detailed vaginal entry and longer-than-average, grasping, textured tunnel
  • Soft sleeve material warms to your body temperature as you use it
  • Simply add a dab of lube for the most erotic and comfortable experience
  • Cleans up quickly and easily using mild soap and water

Review: “I now know why they call this the Dream Sleeve. It is my first toy. I have bought several toys for my wife and thought I would try one. It’s as close to the real thing as you can get — add lube and enjoy!”

Justin
This is my first toy. I didn’t know what to expect. Dear sweet god, I was blown away. It’s the perfect fit for me (being average sized). I can see where a well-endowed man might dislike it–constantly popping out the end. I can’t comment on durability yet, but the feel is exquisite. The day I got it, I used it like 5 times. I used it again right before I wrote this review. It’s the next best thing to the real thing. A tip: You can cover or pinch the end that you’re not using for suction, or flip it around for something that feels somewhat like anal entry.

Whoa… this is nice. But the secret is to not hold it in your hand while using it. Lube it and put it on a towel on a carpeted floor. Then you can have intercourse with it, rather than moving it with your hand, it makes ALL the difference in the world. It’s too short for me, but still fine. I’m pretty aggressive with it and it only has a small tear on the outside which doesn’t affect anything, and I’ve had it probably 2 years now. I can’t imagine anything being better.
5 Star(s) Tom
For our anniversary, I bought a sex toy for my wife and one for me. I chose the Dream sleeve and it’s an incredible toy. With a little lube it feels like the real thing. Just stick your penis half way in and it feels like oral sex, all the way in feels like intercourse. It’s a great toy for building your stamina. I highly recommend it.
4 Star(s) Peter
Since I’m in a long-distance relationship and she has her rabbit, we decided I should try one of these. It doesn’t really feel real, but it does feel good, and it’s a welcome change from my hand. Bonus for me: I’m average girth, but at 8″ length, I pop out the far end, and I have to say the small hole feels great on my head.

2) Thriller

Description:

  • Ice-blue erection ring is as fun for couples as it is for solo play
  • Soft, quick-warming material not only feels great, but transmits vibration through every inch
  • Larger ring wraps around the testicles and the thicker, snugger one goes around the penis, providing better stability
  • Flexible ridges on the clitoral stimulator provide extra sensation for her and cushion the small, removable vibrating bullet
  • Ergonomic controller provides four speeds of vibration and three pulse variations, all at the touch of a button
  • Review: “I found this little device a most welcome surprise. It pleased the both of us in all the right spots! The tight fit was just perfect and the battery capacity more than enough. The best of the seven levels seemed to be the continuous modes!”
  • 4 Star(s) Kat
    My husband and I love this little gizmo! He had his complaints at first that the ring was too tight, but it is easily stretched to a more comfortable size by a few days around the base of a glass beer/soda bottle.
    5 Star(s) Andrea
    Wow! This is totally worth the price. Don’t go cheap – get this and you’ll get quality. I have an orgasm every time. Sometimes too quickly! Which, for a woman, isn’t usually a problem. ;)
    5 Star(s) Andre
    Wow! What a surprise treat for my wife and I. She absolutely loves for me to wear the ring with vibrator. This device is definitely worth the price. Do not use cheap substitutes.

3) Hot Rod Enhancer

  • Made of sensual, clear material that’s easy to clean

5 Star(s) James
This is an awesome toy. My wife went crazy and begs for me to use it. I’ve never heard her enjoy herself so vocally as she does when we use this. It was even better as different positions were tried. Has improved our sex life a lot, though it was great before.
5 Star(s) John
My wife loved it. I never heard her moan like that. She scratched my back all up. Fantastic!
3 Star(s) Joe
Overall not a bad product. It really seems to shorten up when you put it on. Also, it slid down to the base of my penis after only about two minutes of use. In the end my wife liked it and that is what matters. It would be nice if they made it longer.
5 Star(s) Brian and Billy
I’d give this weapon more stars if I could, 10 stars!! This little stegasaurus really did a number for the both of us. Even with only oral sex or as a masturbation sleeve while my life mate is away, this thing rocks my hot rod! Un effin believable. What a rocket!
4 Star(s) Staff – Steve

  • Reviews


    5 Star(s) Scott
    My wife loves the added length. I love the fact that I can orgasm while wearing the King. All we do is keep the King in a bowl of hot water until we are really to use it as this way it’s nice and warm for the both of our pleasure.
    3 Star(s) Ramon L.
    Well, she enjoyed it a lot, and we plan on doing so many things with it ;) but upon inspection just a bit afterwards I noticed three hairline tears. it looks like someone took a razor blade and made incisions that run halfway up the body just a millimeter or two deep — but that really sucks. How I am going to make this kinky little toy last if it is damaged after one use? hahahaha…. you guys — even if you don’t buy this, buy some kind of sex toy — variety is so kinky.
    5 Star(s) John
    Just a bit of lube to put it on and BOOM! It stays in place unlike the cyberskin and stretched to the perfect fit. I’m about average size, but with this on, what a difference. My wife of 12 years moaned in tones I haven’t heard before and she had orgasm after orgasm, which obviously made me feel like the King! Get it NOW!
    4 Star(s) Mike
    Just for fun, I bought this for my wife. My size: 5″L x 4.5″ circumference. Trimmed, it fit me tightly when erect. The inside diameter is 1 3/16″, head is ~5″ in circum. This toy is all about her, and that’s cool. It’s like a large, thick condom. Couldn’t feel her at all, just a vacuum effect on the outstroke. She enjoyed it. I’m going to try the silicone plug trick on the next one to get two more inches out of it. Once you’re erect and have this thing on, it grips with a great deal of suction power. No danger of it slipping off.

5) Sapphire Seductress

Description :

  • Soft, yielding sleeve has an innocuous heart-shaped entry
  • Textured interior and a smooth insertion point ensure the most erotic feel
  • Sleeve clings and gently grasps the length of him
  • Super easy to clean and maintain
  • As with all sleeves, the experience is more sensual with your favorite lube
Reviews


5 Star(s) Hondoe
This is the very best sleeve I’ve ever found. The internal ribbing is perfect; the “squeeze” is great, but not too much. I’ve had my most intense orgasms with this product. I’ve used it for over a year and it’s like the day I bought it. Truly excellent.
5 Star(s) Tommy
This product had made my whole life change. I have been waiting to buy one sex toys. I have pick this sapphire seductress. It is the best thing I have never been on. This product really fits me. This is my first sex toys. I will get another soon or later.
4 Star(s) Ben
This is one of my favorites. I’d give it a perfect 5 if not for the fact that I’ve been through three of them. Even with lots of lube, the internal ribbing begins to tear over time, destroying the sensation. Overall, this toy feels incredible and gets the job done quickly.
3 Star(s) Tyrone
Used it a few times. Found it to be too tight and would like something a little longer.

Great Beginner Sex Toys for Women:
Ten Customer Favorites

Choosing your first vibrator can be a fun, eye-opening experience. However, it can also be a little intimidating. With so many choices of vibrator types and features, how do you pick the vibe that’s right for you? While I can’t absolutely answer that question for you, I can definitely point you in the right direction. Below I’ve collected ten my favorite vibrators that are simple to use and sure to please.

1) Athena


  1. Review: “This little friend is AMAZING! It gives me the best orgasms and they just keep coming back to back to back!! It is a very great toy to use alone or with your partner. Use it on his testicles and the tip of his penis too, he’ll love it also if you use your mouth in between using it on him. He’ll love you forever and you won’t ever have to worry about him having an affair on you. Use your imagination for many more fun ideas with your partner!! It’s done amazing things for our sex lives!!!”

2) Love Bunny

Review: “This one is great! You have got to try it. My boyfriend enjoys using it on me. It’s easy to use and more satisfying than a regular ‘bullet’ type vibrator.”

3)Violet Glow

Review: This is my first toy and absolutely a great one to start with! The Violet Glow is great because of its slender size, adjustable speeds, and its price is just right! “

4) Ice Pearl

Review: Love the tiny size and the bend at the tip; it’s perfect for hitting just the right spot! It’s exactly like Polar G, which was a long-time favorite of mine. “

5) LAYAspot

Review: “I love the LAYAspot! The design is so subtle and pretty I don’t even mind leaving it out — and the shape hits all the right spots. This is absolutely my favorite vibe.”

6) Jack Rabbit

Review: “This is my first vibrator, and I absolutely love it! I have no trouble having an orgasm with it. Each part feels wonderful and even more pleasurable combined.”

7) Buzzing Butterfly

Review: “My first toy, and still my favorite four more toys later. Nothing better for me than multiple clitoral orgasms and this one does it over and over.”

8) Passion Lily

Review: This was my first purchase from MyPleasure.com; needless to say, it will not be my last. This pretty little flower had everything I was looking for. I can easily climax multiple times until exhaustion finally makes me stop. Enjoy!”

9) Little Ruby

Review: “Love the fact that Little Ruby doesn’t have wires! It’s a great size for travel — I can just tuck it in my pocket. Psyched about the “nubs”, too; makes it so much easier to hang onto while I’m using it. Haven’t tried it in the water, but can’t wait! Cute, compact and it does the job – - who could ask for anything more?”

10) My Secret

Review: This vibe has a sleek shape and stylish bag for maximum discretion and portability. It has a very powerful pulse which is helpful to get you started, but I found it to be too strong for the moment of climax; a wee bit jolting. You’ll have to adjust where you hold the vibe to your body during the different phases of your arousal so you don’t over-stimulate yourself. It’s also very fun to use over clothes and against other erogenous zones! Mmmmmmmm… Extra points for versatility!


Call Girls Paris – Madame Claude

September 30, 2008

Fernande Grudet (born in 1923), also known as Madame Claude, is the most famous French procurer. In the 1960s she was the head of a French network of call girls who worked especially for dignitaries and civil servants.

Born on July 6 1923 in Angers, France, Fernande Grudet was reared by nuns. After acting as an agent of the Resistance during the German Occupation of France during WWII and doing several other jobs, she created her VIP prostitution network in Paris during the 1960s.

Her clientelle included not only political figures, but also members of the Mafia, as well as police administrators who ensured her protection. One of her friends was the gangster, Pierrot le fou.

In 1976, the judge Bruguiere began dismantling Grudet’s organization. She soon exiled herself in the United States to escape the French Tax administration.

During the 1980s she returned to France, convinced that she was protected by new tax laws, and set up a new prostitution organization. The French Treasury prosecuted her in 1986, however. In 1992 she was sentenced to a term in Fleury-Mérogis prison for procuring.

The history of Madame Claude has inspired many writers. Her life was the basis of the 1977 feature film, “Madame Claude,” directed by Just Jaeckin, and starring Françoise Fabian.


ESCORT GIRL LONDON

September 29, 2008

story written by one man who met an escort girl….

As ‘La Madame Anglaise’ faces a trial in France for running a multi-million-pound vice network, a classy escort girl in London tells how she runs her lucrative career and charges £550 for the pleasure of dining with her.

John Lennon’s Woman is playing in the lobby of the £300-a-night central London hotel. It is 8.45pm on a weekday. I have £550 cash in an envelope in my pocket and I am looking for “Sofia”.

A 6ft 2in woman in black patent-leather heels click-clacks through a crowd of American business executives and sits on a leather sofa. She reaches inside her Miu Miu bag, dabs some Marc Jacobs perfume on her neck and makes a call on her top-of-the-range mobile. “Sofia?” I ask. She smiles, stands up, and holds out a perfectly manicured hand.

I don’t usually pick up women in hotel lobbies and take them to my room but I’ve come to find out about the world of £1,000-a-night escorts exposed in the Paris trial of Margaret MacDonald, the former convent school girl from Windsor who faces six years in prison for running a multi-million-pound vice network.

The scale of MacDonald’s £50,000-aweek, 600-escort empire has sparked a political scandal in Paris – a city where prostitution was once treated with a shrug and an “Eh alors?”. French politicians, galvanised by the rise of the far-Right, want to make an example of her and clamp down on the world’s oldest profession.

It begs a question. Has criticism of “La Madame Anglaise” hit London’s high-class sex industry or is it continuing discreetly as it always has done? What does “high-class” mean and how does the industry work?

Spend five minutes on the internet and it’s clear that in London – unlike Paris – the high-end escort business has never been healthier. There is a bewildering variety of agencies whose websites groan with catalogues of models, air stewardesses, housewives, students and bored-looking aerobics instructors.

I pick one agency at random and dial the west London number. “How can I help?” asks a male voice. I tell him I’d like a dinner companion. “What are you looking for?” Someone who is good to talk to and we can sort of take it from there. He ignores the hint. One word that is never mentioned over the phone is sex.

“I can highly recommend Sofia, an English lady. She is attractive, very well-spoken and charming. She is available tonight. A dinner date is £550. Usually ladies meet the clients in the room first to sort things out financially.”

Five minutes after we meet, Sofia is standing by the bed in my hotel room. I hand her the envelope in my pocket. She counts the cash and we head out. In the hotel restaurant she settles into her banquette seat and adjusts her off-the-shoulder top to reveal the red strap of a La Perla bra. But she’s not flirting, she’s getting comfortable.

She wants to talk – about herself. She is 24 and comes from York She moved to London to go to Chelsea Art School to study textile design. She’d like to set up her own business or go into visual merchandising in a big store, such as Liberty’s, but she is “doing this” now.

Sofia tells me she is interested in riding and skiing, and wants to learn a foreign language “to get more overseas work”. What is she up to this week? I ask. “I’m house hunting in Knightsbridge, with my friend Emma, who used to work for Lehman Brothers in the City but does what I do now.” Horses, Louis Vuitton bags, west London, City banks, foreign trips – her list of passions goes on.

DOES her life story sound convincing, I ask myself ? As she tells me more about her family, her school life and her friends, it is clear she is the child of a respectable, professional couple who would be horrified if they knew how she was using her education. But with her love of shopping, Knightsbridge flats and overseas travel – not to mention envelopes of cash – she shares the aspirations celebrated in the pages of Hello! magazine rather than middleclass Yorkshire values.

We’ve been talking for two hours now, the wine is flowing and Sofia begins to reveal another side to her character. “I have to move house to Knightsbridge because it’s central. I want to do more day appointments.” Day? I thought escorts only did dinner dates? “I make most of my money at lunchtimes and in the afternoon. With most men it’s just a quick hour.” A quick hour of what? Silence. Then she smiles. “Sex. Don’t tell me you didn’t know?”

I begin to ask how the high-class business works. Sofia gives a startling, and remarkably frank, account of how one of the most secretive industries in London operates and how thousands of educated women like her see it as a legitimate – and highly lucrative – way of making a living.

“Most escorts, even the ones who charge £800 an hour and go to the opera or embassy parties or polo matches, will end up in bed with a client,” she says. “In my entire career I’ve only ever had one date that did not involve sex, and that was because he couldn’t manage it. Escorts are …” She pauses. She can’t say the word prostitute.

I ask her about the trial of Margaret MacDonald. Is it possible MacDonald had no idea her escorts were having sex? “No way. Does anyone think men pay £500 an hour just to talk?” Does she always go to five-star hotels? “No, most of my work is in-calls.” What’s an incall? “It’s when the client comes to you.

The agency makes me rent a room in Earl’s Court, so that the men can come there. When I get a place in Knightsbridge I’ll use that.”

I ask how much she earns. Sofia reaches into her bag and pulls out a notebook: her “little black book”. She opens a page at random. The names of as many as four men a day – François, Tony, Ian, David – are listed in red with details of what they pay. An in-call is £250 an hour, an out-call £300, three-ways (lesbian sex with another escort) is £600 an hour, dinner dates start at £550 and foreign trips are £15,000 a week with first-class travel and five-star hotel accommodation.

At the bottom of the page she lists her net and gross earnings for each week with a pencil tick through the sums she has banked. That week she made more than £4,000. “My rates are pretty much the top regular working rates.” What is the agencies’ cut? (Sofia works for two).

“They get 30 per cent. I pay cash into their accounts almost every day.” As she talks, it’s clear she admires the people behind these services as successful business executives.

She makes her job sound like any other. There are regular working hours, commission to pay, expenses to claim and contracts to sign. “The contracts are very clever. They can’t mention sex, so they say that girls will be paid £40 an hour for their company and anything after that is between two consenting adults.” Upmarket escorts charge up to 10 times as much as the women who stick cards in telephone boxes across London. What, I ask, makes a highclass escort different?

She says: “You have to look good and dress well. My friend once turned up without her hair done and she was wearing pink stilettos and a white denim skirt. She looked like a boulevard hooker and the client turned her away. You have to be enthusiastic, too. Some of the street girls from eastern Europe don’t make any effort, like they hate the client. I can’t do that because the agency’s reputation would suffer.

“Other rules are crude but if you want to know, they are: no unprotected sex, no sado-masochism or violence, no anal.” Is kissing allowed? “Yes.”

WHO knows what she does? Her family? Her friends? Her boyfriend? “No one,” she replies, looking awkward for the first time. “My mum and dad would disown me if they found out and my boyfriend [who is older than her, lives in St John's Wood and works most nights] would kill me. I tell everyone I work in a designer shop.”

So she’s ashamed? “No,” she says. “There are pluses to this work. Before I started I was a quivering wreck but I’m confident now. I’ve gone to places and done things that I would never have done if I had not met the men I’ve met. And I’m not the only one.

“I know a lot of girls – like Emma, who has a law degree and has worked in the City – who do this. They choose this. To us, it’s as ordinary as going to work in an office or a big business. We have rights and we like our employers. The only difference between this and an office job is I’m much better paid.”

But doesn’t she feel degraded, or scared she will be attacked, raped or worse? Doesn’t she feel contempt for the men she sees? “There are minuses. Your soul – you’ve got to protect that. If I have kids, I wouldn’t want them knowing I was an escort. But I’ve never had a client I did not like.

“Thirty per cent are now regulars. I don’t think they’re sad, men have this need – they think with their dicks. I bet escort agencies have saved a lot of marriages. Overall, I’d say I’m 70 per cent happy. That’s not bad, is it? I will do this until I am 32 or 33, which is the limit, then I’ll either open a shop on Regent Street selling shoes or I’ll set up my own agency.”

It is past midnight now and dinner – £550 plus £100 for the food and wine – is over.

As we walk towards the lift doors, she turns to go upstairs but I carry on into the lobby. “Can I see you another night?” I ask. “Of course,” she smiles, trying to hide her disappointment at missing out on turning £650 into a £1,000 night.

It’s cold outside and I hail a cab for her. She kisses me once on the left cheek and once on the right before getting in. As the car moves off I wave but her eyes are fixed straight ahead. Discreet and booming it may be, but the escort business is a business like any other. And my time is up.


Rock Music – Jim Morrison

September 27, 2008

James Douglas Morrison (December 8, 1943—July 3, 1971) was an American singer, poet, songwriter, writer, and film director. He is best known as the lead singer and lyricist of The Doors, and is widely considered to be one of the most charismatic frontmen in rock music history. He was also the author of several books of poetry, and the director of a documentary and short film.

Morrison was born in Melbourne, Florida

In 1947, Morrison, then four years old, purportedly witnessed a car accident in the desert, where a family of Native Americans were injured and possibly killed. He referred to this incident in a spoken word performance on the song “Dawn’s Highway” from the album An American Prayer, and again in the songs “Peace Frog” and “Ghost Song.”

Indians scattered on dawn’s highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child’s fragile eggshell mind

Morrison believed the incident to be the most formative event in his life and made repeated references to it in the imagery in his songs, poems and interviews. Interestingly, his family does not recall this incident happening in the way he told it. According to the Morrison biography No One Here Gets Out Alive, Morrison’s family did drive past a car accident on an Indian reservation when he was a child, and he was very upset by it. However, the book The Doors written by the remaining members of The Doors, explains how different Morrison’s account of the incident was than the account of his father. This book quotes his father as saying, “We went by several Indians. It did make an impression on him [the young James]. He always thought about that crying Indian.” This is contrasted sharply with Morrison’s tale of “Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death.” In the same book, his sister is quoted as saying, “He enjoyed telling that story and exaggerating it. He said he saw a dead Indian by the side of the road, and I don’t even know if that’s true.”

In 1965, after graduating from UCLA, Morrison led a Bohemian lifestyle in Venice Beach. Once Morrison graduated from UCLA, he broke off most of his family contact.

By the time Morrison’s music ascended the top of the charts in 1967, he had not been in communication with his family for more than a year and falsely claimed that his parents and siblings were dead (or claiming, as it has been widely misreported, that he was an only child). This misinformation was published as part of the materials distributed with The Doors’ self-titled debut album. In a letter to the Florida Probation and Parole Commission District Office dated October 2, 1970, Morrison’s father acknowledged the breakdown in family communications, the result of an argument over his assessment of his son’s musical talents. He said he could not blame his son for being reluctant to initiate contact, and that he was proud of him nonetheless

Morrison is known as the lyricist for the group, he wrote some of the group’s biggest hits, including “Light My Fire,” “Love Me Two Times,” “Love Her Madly” and “Touch Me.”

By the release of their second album, Strange Days, The Doors had become one of the most popular rock bands in the United States. Their blend of blues and rock tinged with psychedelia included a number of original songs and distinctive cover versions, such as the memorable rendition of “Alabama Song“,

By 1969, the formerly svelte singer gained weight, grew a beard, and began dressing more casually – abandoning the leather pants and concho belts for slacks, jeans and T-shirts.

During a 1969 concert at The Dinner Key Auditorium in Miami, Morrison attempted to spark a riot in the audience. He failed, but a warrant for his arrest was issued by the Dade County Police department three days later for indecent exposure. Consequently, many of The Doors’ scheduled concerts were canceled. In the years following the incident, Morrison has been exonerated. In 2007 Florida Governor Charlie Crist suggested the possibility of a posthumous pardon for Morrison.

Following The Soft Parade, The Doors released the Morrison Hotel LP. After a lengthy break, the group reconvened in October 1970 to record their last LP with Morrison, L.A. Woman. Shortly after the recording sessions for the album began, producer Paul A. Rothchild — who had overseen all their previous recordings — left the project. Engineer Bruce Botnick took over as producer.

Women in his life : Morrison met his long-term companion, Pamela Courson,

well before he gained any fame or fortune, and she encouraged him to develop his poetry. At times, Courson used the surname “Morrison,” with his apparent consent or at least lack of concern.

Courson and Morrison’s relationship was a stormy one, however, with frequent loud arguments, and periods of separation.

In 1970, Morrison participated in a Celtic Pagan handfasting ceremony with rock critic and science fiction/fantasy author Patricia Kennealy. Before witnesses, one of them a Presbyterian minister, the couple signed a document declaring themselves wedded; however, none of the necessary paperwork for a legal marriage was filed with the state. Kennealy discussed her experiences with Morrison in her autobiography Strange Days: My Life With and Without Jim Morrison, and in an interview reported in the book Rock Wives.

Morrison also regularly had sex with fans, and had numerous short flings with women who were celebrities in their own right, including Nico, the singer associated with The Velvet Underground

Morrison moved to Paris in March 1971, taking up residence in an apartment. Once in Paris, Morrison grew a beard. By all accounts Morrison became depressed while in Paris, and was planning to return to the US; however, he admired the city’s architecture and would go for long walks through the city.

It was in Paris that Morrison made his last studio recording, with two American street musicians — a session dismissed by Manzarek as “drunken gibberish.” The session included a version of a song-in-progress, “Orange County Suite,” which can be heard on the bootleg Lost Paris Tapes.

Morrison died on July 3, 1971, aged 27. In the official account of his death, he was found in a Paris apartment bathtub by Courson. Pursuant to French law, no autopsy was performed because the medical examiner claimed to have found no evidence of foul play. The absence of an official autopsy has left many questions regarding Morrison’s cause of death.

In a July 2007 newspaper interview, a self-described close friend of Morrison’s, Sam Bernett, resurrected an old rumor and announced that Morrison actually died of a heroin overdose in the Rock ‘n’ Roll Circus nightclub, on the Left Bank in Paris. Bernett claims that Morrison came to the club to buy heroin for Courson, then did some himself and died in the bathroom.

Morrison is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery in eastern Paris, one of the city’s most visited tourist attractions.

Morrison remains one of the most popular and influential singers/writers in rock history, as The Doors’ catalog has become a staple of classic rock radio stations. To this day, he is widely regarded as the prototypical rock star: surly, sexy, scandalous and mysterious. The leather trousers he was fond of wearing both on stage and off have since become stereotyped as rock star apparel.

, the vocalist of Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver, as well as Scott Stapp of Creed, claim Morrison to be their biggest influence and inspiration. Stone Temple Pilots and Velvet Revolver have both covered “Roadhouse Blues” by the Doors. Weiland also filled in for Morrison to perform “Break On Through” with the rest of the Doors. Stapp filled in for Morrison for “Light my fire”, “Riders on the Storm” and “Roadhouse Blues”

The book The Doors by the remaining Doors quotes Morrison’s close friend Frank Lisciandro as saying that too many people took a remark of Morrison’s that he was interested in revolt, disorder, and chaos “to mean that he was an anarchist, a revolutionary, or worse a nihilist. Hardly anyone noticed that Jim was restating Rimbaud and the  surreal poets
