Oliver Stone's movie about my generation made a a full  generation ago (1991)  is on HBO in HD. As I turn it on,  Morison played by Val Kilmer is in front of my old Hollywood Hangout, the Whiskey A Go Go or a reasonable facsimile.

He leaps on top of one of the cars that cruised up and down Sunset Blvd as Hippies played guitars and shook tambourines. 

Morison has eaten some acid and as he looks down at the hippies on the street, he asks them "Is there anyone here who really knows how to feel."

He is transported to the desert where words straight from the words of Timothy Leary and Ralph Metzer from their classic LSD albums, invoking the Tibetan Gods and Bardos.

Since many of you are tweeing what you are up to tonight, I thought I'd share my encounter with the fictional verion of the raw soul of who young Irish Jim Morrison was.
