Nietzsche and Morrison

http://www.litkicks.com/BeatPages/msg.jsp?what=JamesDouglasMorrison

I've been looking at the connection between Jim Morrison and Nietzsche. I know that Jim was influenced by N a lot. John Densmore famously said that Nietzsche killed Jim Morrison. In the link above there are a lot of really interesting connections between the two. I can see how Jim's character reflects N's philosophy. Jim being the passionate Dionysian anti-society philosopher always pushing life to its limits.
