Urban's Journal Of Half Assed Ideas (singer, music video, tickets, ambient, indie)

~~Flower Child~~ · 06-23-2009, 11:08 AM

I really enjoyed reading your "Love" by The Cult review. I didn't know Ian had a fixation on Jim Morrison. But now that you mention it, it seems like I can hear a faint resemblance in his voice, he even looks like him too. And the "She Sells Sanctuary" music video is just fandamntastic. I am so unbelievably jealous that you got to see them live. Unless I ever get to see them live, I will hate you forever.

This is so stupid but since I am so intrigued by Ian's since of fashion I just have to ask you what he was wearing when you saw him.

Well the Morrisson fixation runs a bit deeper than that, I was thinking more of him writing songs about wolves , snakes & native American ideology & that sort of thing (Especially on the Ceremony album). Just like Morrisson did.

I remember this well because I was right at the front for their set.

He was wearing black motorcycle boots, black leather trousers, black leather jacket and had a really bright red polo neck sweater under it. Black 60s style shades (Which he never took off) and his hair was short too. He has like a black bob rather than the long flowing locks he's known for.

Basically he looked like he was auditioning for the Velvet Underground.

I actually went out & bought an outfit just like that a few weeks later , minus the leather trousers of course.

Ah, I see. But I still think he has a faint resemblance in his voice and he does look alot like him when he got older.

Very interesting. Thank you! I hope he could bust out his dance moves with all that leather on.

Do you still have that outfit? *austin powers purr

I don't think he did that much dancing, he just sort of stood there looking cool & patrolled the front of the stage.

I still have the jacket (Along with another 6

) and I have some boots that are similar.

Still wouldn't be seen dead in leather trousers.

That's a good observation.
Another clue was when he was asked by former members of The Doors to impersonate Morrison professionally and Astbury jumped at the chance.
