[edit] "...by the Doors" ??

I was surprised to see the very first line in the page say that An American Prayer is "a studio album by the rock band the Doors." On the cover it says explicitly "Jim Morrison," with "music by The Doors." Give Jim his credit, this is his album. That the band added music is great, but his poetry is what this is about. Can someone change this?

[edit] American Prayer?

Why is An American Prayer currently redirecting to American Prayer? I always thought that the title is 'An American Prayer', and to be honest I've never heard anyone using the other title. I suggest swapping both pages. -- Parasti 15:15, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Please do so. --82.182.24.17 13:03, 15 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Stories and poetry.

An American Prayer contains not just poetry (or better, parts of poems) from the recording session, but also monologue from Morrison's movie titled HWY: An American Pastoral. I'm thinking of adding these to the Morrison article. Both the poetry session and the movie aren't very popular and it's somewhat difficult to find reliable information on them, though, and my English is far from fluent. So, if there are people willing to add a reference to the movie as well, please do. -- Parasti 15:26, 19 December 2005 (UTC)
