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?

There are two kinds of people in this world: those who think the Doors are a
hokey caricature of male rock stardom and those who think they’re, you know,
shamans.
