"Jim Morrison. At first Jim Morrison seemed no more than a marvellous boy in black leathers, made up by two queers on the phone. Later on, however, he emerged as something altogether more solemn. Not just a truck-stop rocker, nor even a golden stud, but a poet and a thinker, stuff full of profundities. Forthwith he embarked, like a Rock 'n' Roll Bix Beiderbecke, full speed ahead on the American route to romantic martyrdom." - Nik Cohn
Bowie Connection #1: Guy Peellaert, who did the artwork for Rock Dreams, also did the Diamond Dogs album artwork for Bowie... In fact, Peelleart uses a motif similar to the above painting for the back cover.
