Jim Morrison Was Totally Cool With Fatties (VIDEO)

For once in its boring existence, PBS is doing something pretty cool, as the network created an online series called “Blank on Blank” that takes raw celebrity interviews and gives them new life with animated YouTube videos. The interviews range from old and lost to new and relevant, and some of them feature revealing new quotes from celebrities that we thought we’d never hear from again. Mainly because they’re dead.

Doors frontman Jim Morrison is one of those ghosts, and Blank on Blank’s latest interview features the legendary singer waxing poetic about his so-called “fat” days.

Jim Morrison: Well, um… You know that’s something that really bothers me. What’s wrong with being fat? That’s what I want to know. Why is there such…

Howard Smith: I didn’t say there’s anything wrong with it.

Jim Morrison: Why is it so onerous to be fat? Um… I don’t see anything wrong with fat. You know? I mean, I remember when I used to weigh 185 pounds.

Yeah, 185-pounds is some real hippo shit right there, Jim. Still, it’s pretty cool that PBS was able to dig up this old interview for a new generation. It’s a lot better than, say, Larry King discussing the art of seduction. I simply read the title on that one and my dick vanished.
