Yea, it struck me. Why would he use "Nursin' penitentiary'? It's a emotional thought put to on paper and has is a different verse and thought from "Out on the train yard". Was this his glimpse into the future? Isn't this what hospitals have become? There are many other prophetic words Morrison spoke and some of them are extraordinary. He was more clairvoyant and prescient than many people know.
I agree completely. Jim Morrison was original and a creative genius. Dylan on the other hand, was a front man for 'Operation Rolling Stone'. Dylan's meteoric rise in New York in 1961 simply isn't believable. He was playing in Greenwich Village for only about six months, had no original material, hadn't written any of his great early songs yet, and somehow the New York Times does a review of him? Hmmmm...
Ah yes Robert Zimmerman (aka Bob Dylan) was quite the incredible story. Have ever read Miles Mathis expose on Bob Dylan(http://mileswmathis.com/dylanDOTpdf). Make sure you change the "DOT" for the link I provided. Do you remember Joni Mitchell's strange public disparagement of Dylan. There's more of interest to the story.
Always wondered what Morrison meant by this

Yeah, I think he was a far better poet than Nobel Laureate Bob Dylan...at least, I should say I like his stuff way better.
