I was angry at The Doors in 1968 <br />when they came out with 'Touch Me' <br />and it contained a deliberate gammatical error. <br /> <br />'I'm gonna love you, ' Jim sang, <br />'Till the stars fall from the sky for you and I' <br /> <br />And I thought, how much trouble would it be <br />for Morrison to change the line to: <br /> <br />'I'm gonna love you <br />Till the stars fall to the SEA for you and ME! ' <br /> <br />See, the 'I' is snotty - 'It is I' <br />Jim should have said it the rock and roll way, 'It is me.' <br /> <br />That was the moment I realized <br />it was all going to go wrong <br /> <br />That the hippies were as dumb as anyone <br />It would always be as it always was <br />Illiterate, bestial, stupid, and drunk <br /> <br />And the age of sudden beauty <br />would have to wait a little longer <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />(1991)<br /><br />Mike Finley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/vanity/
