i'm a big fan of the title track from "soft parade" too, that + "wild child" are reason enough to own that album although most of the rest is pretty room-temperature & "touch me" is diabolical (so of course it's 1 of their most often broadcast numbers)
anyway for whatever reason that & the 1st album are the only ones i still have altho at 1 time or another i owned all of em (studio albs & "absolutely live" but not "american prayer" or any of the numerous posthumously issued live albums) - shoulda kept at least "strange days" & "l.a. woman" i suppose
Great piece. People love to get there knickers in a twist about Jim but fuck it, if the only good thing he did was give Iggy licence to go furthur that’s enough. I still mostly love him and The Doors despite all the complications.

Well put, he minted the two great archetypes, Iggy and Nico, and the rest is history
