Up against the wall, mother****ers!! The human dream doesn't mean **** to a tree!

Jefferson Airplane all the way. One of my favorite bands. Forget Janis, forget Stevie, forget Ann, forget them all, because Grace Slick was the original rock chick.

The Doors royally suck; I've never liked them. Pretentious as all get out.

I think that's the first time I've seen you swear like that.

Jefferson Airplane. I'm not in love with them, but I used to have Surrealistic Pillow, and Grace Slick is a helluva singer. I don't really like The Doors.

Jefferson Airplane, mostly because Doors and Jim Morrison's poetry bore me deeply.

The Doors all the way.

Morrison... omg the charisma! There ain't nobody like that today, not even close.

His good looks (before the scary Charles Manson looking beard/hair thing) don't hurt either.

The Doors

They were one of the first bands I really got into. They seemed kind of dangerous and forbidden. But then, a lot of things do when you're 10.

I think I had a very brief crush on Jim Morrison, too. Not the Grizzly Adams version though.

I like how everyone is qualifying "not with the beard, though!"

I can't watch that movie. It's like he's come back to life. Val Kilmer was too good as Morrison.
