My admiration of the Baron, is the skill with which he would kill and the brash nature he invited his violent death. Most people of admirable quality are often assholes in life, so I try to not learn too much otherwise accept the human frailty that is all of us.<br />As for Jim Morrison, that book and subsequent movie which one was based on the other were written by a person with an adz to sharpen. He was not always the raging alcoholic that was portrayed.<br />nevertheless my good friend, it was an excellent comment.Jhon Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05952691262605706711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353401673753574177.post-86791850513163764462010-04-21T15:33:52.168-05:002010-04-21T15:33:52.168-05:00Hey JhonZ:

I guess. We appear to isolate these "heroes" from ourselves; encapsulate them within some lofty ideal.<br />Thereafter, death finally and fully removes any remaining human frailties/qualities ever associated with that person. Perhaps the banal and mundane human characteristics that we regularly overlook in our heroes are the very same characteristics that, if we actually observed them in our heroes, would remove the magic. For example, when I was in grade school/jr. high I began to idolize Jim Morrison/the Doors. I do Still love the music and his poetry and such. He was a good performer etc. Yet, many years ago when I read "No One Here Gets Out Alive" and years afterward when I saw the Hollywood movie "The Doors" I had other observations to make. Such as: "Gee this guy is just a dick-head. He terrorizes those around him. Imagine having to endure him for a few hours? If this guy said/did that to me I'd swat him in the snout and knock out his teeth." I've made some other connections too. Yours for example. No doubt Baron Von Richtoffen was a great pilot. He was also a killer. He was a killer pilot, if you will. Anyway, more importantly, he was a military officer and a killer and a pilot. Need I mention he was also of the landed nobility class; a Baron, after all. Just see if you can imagine the level of arrogance in this man? Maybe he was a sweet, caring, epicurean, docile in nature, who wrote poetry and selflessly ladled soup to retards on his days off. ...or perhaps not.<br /><br />C.PiercePiercenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353401673753574177.post-46737960623013930882010-04-21T11:17:54.745-05:002010-04-21T11:17:54.745-05:00Hello John Baker;
