Ah yes...The Doors.

Two of my top 25 albums are Morrison Hotel/Hard Rock Cafe and The Soft Parade.

The Doors were part of my inspiration to start my own band in the early 80's. Riders on the Storm is my favorite non-Beatles song. I love how Ray Manzarek played the keyboard in that song.

Into this world we're thrown."

Jim Morrison's IQ was 151.
That is kind of high for someone who died in a bathtub!
One of my best friends graduated from high school with him and did not have anything complimentary to say about him.

As for The Doors and Objectivism, drummer John Densmore once said that there would not have been The Doors without Maharishi. Need I say more?

Break on through to the other side!
We'll have a great band when we finally put together a physical Gulch.

The Doors were pretty awesome BUT I was a Jethro Tull fan. Thanks for the tunes which brought some really good memories!!

I wish my poetry could be as great as Morrison's lyrics. As far as I'm concerned he was top rock lyricist of all time. This reminds me that I must go on Amazon and download mp3's from his albums.

One of my favorite Artists. Few people really...really listened to Jim..

I cant seem to remember much of the 60's, but I do remember seeing the Doors at the Chicago Collisuim . Great show.

To call Rap Music, Music is a contradiction of terms. There is a great guitarist, John Babusia ( spelled wrong I know) I have seen on the TV. Truly a great rock and classical guitar.

one more thing, If you can find the sound track for Monster Garage. track 13 is really good. The rest of the album is crap. but that track is excellent

I had just been released from service as a naval officer and was driving around in Hollywood one night when I heard "Light My Fire" on the radio (the long version). I was instantly transformed. More recently saw the movie "The Doors" for a second time - the one with Val Kilmer - and it took me back to all the craziness and wonder and possibility. Now I look at what we did with all that, now all finally coming to fruition courtesy of the boomers and those of us on the cusp.
Strange Days, indeed.

So would Ayn Rand approve? Or would she think Doors fans are just being irrational?

Btw, i'm not very musically knowledgeable but watched a great documentary on the Doors. I never knew why even I could always recognize their sound even if it was a song I had never heard before. I'm sure the fact that they had no bass guitar in the band comes as no surprise to those even mildly knowledgeable of music. For me it was an aha moment.

Come on baby, light my fire.

I have a blast playing Riders on The Storm.

The time to hesitate is through.
No time to wallow in the mire.
Try now we can only lose.

From "Light My Fire" by The Doors

When I was a teenager, People Are Strange described me. Now I understand that I don't need anyone else's approval for who I am.

The Doors were one of my favorite groups but I could only understand the lyrics when I was high. I guess I have to listen to them now.

Yes. Great advice for coping with those strange people.
