The ‘Rebel’s Verse’ Is Sweet Music Indeed

In regards to “A Rebel’s Verse,” isn’t it ironic that James Douglas Morrison was torn to shreds by the academic literary critics of his time and is now being resurrected by the very same as the poet god of the century?

Morrison embodied those attributes so aptly expressed in Ralph Waldo Emerson’s essay “The Poet.” For many, Morrison was foremost a poet, secondarily a rock star long (very long) before this most recent proclamation from the higher places.
