Morrison continues, “Yes, I’ve heard some great stories from India. These became a huge part of popular film music too.” George Harrison told me they quoted Urdu poets like Ghalib, Mir Taqi Mir and Zafar, whose poetry was actually converted into songs called ghazals. There, I noticed a huge connection between poetry, literature and music. Even Shakespeare’s writing had a musicality, which I understood only after death.” The Beatle comments, “On that note, I must tell you of my experience in Rishikesh, India, years ago. Eliot, Pablo Neruda, Federico Garcia Lorca and Dylan Thomas, though we never consciously used their styles. Most of us were influenced by great poets like Arthur Rimbaud, T.S. “I agree”, says Morrison, “In that sense, Dylan and Cohen had a style rooted in classic and revolutionary poetry, and thus would be more associated with the term ‘literature’. Just like Paul Simon, James Taylor, Nick Drake, Carole King or those Pink Floyd guys.” Yes, I also did more poetic works like ‘Imagine’ and ‘Give Peace A Chance’, but by and large, we were songwriters. The Doors star chuckles, “John, if you describe ‘Come on baby light my fire, try to set the night on fire’ and ‘Hello I love you, won’t you tell me your name?’ as actual poetry, it surely reflects your absurd taste.” Lennon replies, “Likewise with our ‘Love love me do, you know I love you’ and ‘All my loving, I will give to you, All my loving, darling I’ll be true’. And some people put you in that category too, Jim.”

But yes, most rock fans describe him and Leonard Cohen, who arrived here a month ago, as the ideal rock poets. I was more interested in the narcotic substances he chose.” Lennon sneers, “He introduced us to some famous substance, but I was too stoned to remember what. I know he wrote poetry, but I haven’t followed it much, barring maybe ‘Blowin’ In The Wind’ and ‘The Times They are a-Changin’. Morrison smiles, and says, “Bob is great. All because our friend Bob Dylan won the Nobel for Literature.” Greeting Morrison with a hug, Lennon announces, “Everyone on earth is doing seminars or writing voluminous essays on the connection between literature, poetry and music. This year, choosing the subject wasn’t difficult at all.
