" This explains so much:\u00A0Why he frequently performed with a mouse helmet\u00A0over his head. All those tweets linking to surprise Soundcloud mixtapes. Why his music so often relied on four-to-the-floor beats, tape stops, collaborations with Fetty Wap/Sia, and\u00A0those sick, patient bass drops.\u00A0Jim Morrison, frontman of The Doors, invented EDM music.\u00A0Rolling Stone dug up this old interview with Morrison from 1969, where he talks\u00A0about the future of music: &amp;quot;A lot of people like Mozart were prodigies; they were writing brilliant works at very young ages. That&amp;#039;s probably what&amp;#039;s going to happen: some brilliant kid will come along and be popular. I can see a lone artist with a lot of tapes and electrical ... like an extension of the Moog synthesizer \u2014 a keyboard with the complexity and richness of a whole orchestra, y&amp;#039;know? There&amp;#039;s somebody out there, working in a basement, just inventing a whole new musical form.&amp;quot; Hey, if we&amp;#039;re going to credit David Bowie with inventing the Internet and Bob Dylan with inventing hip-hop, let&amp;#039;s give EDM to Morrison. At least his band was pretty keyboard-focused, and he was pretty drug/alcohol-focused.\u00A0 &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;ll hear about it in a couple years,&amp;quot; he added. &amp;quot;Whoever it is, though, I&amp;#039;d like him to be really popular, to play at large concerts, not just be on records \u2014 at Carnegie Hall, to play at dances...&amp;quot; Too bad he didn&amp;#039;t live long enough to see his prediction come true.\u00A0He could\u00A0have launched that EDM side project, LZRDKNG.
