 From the same article.

"This is irritating to serious poetry people. But maybe there is 
something to Morrison’s poetry beyond the laughs. Maybe it’s time we 
considered him to be something beyond the “Bozo Dionysus” Lester Bangs 
saw him as. Maybe it’s time we accepted him as a bona fide American poet."
Daniel Nester

Or just maybe 'serious poetry people' should stop being pissy and 
jealous that Morrison's poetry is loved by so many when their own isn't, 
get over that and enjoy the combination of superb music and wonderful 
lyrics that is The Doors.
And lets face it - who really gives a stuff about what Lester Bangs thinks?
