Slammin’ the Doors? Hey, not me!

Quickly as you can grasshopper, give me the name of any song by any group without a singer named Jim Morrison in it using any variant of the “Doors” as a name that made it into the top 10,

ah… wait a minute…..

Hey, make that even one song that got into the top 100 that was made by the Doors after the death of Jim Morrison.

Jim Morrison

Make no mistake about this, I’m a hard core fan of the group, I bought the first and subsequent albums on vinyl, maybe 8 track (too many trips to recall for sure), cassette, CD, and now I hope finally on iTunes.

I saw the group perform on acid (take that either way, both are correct) in venues from a valley high school outdoor concert to big shows. They are still my favorite group without equal. Well, except maybe for the Talking Heads (David Byrne is Jim Morrison re-born),

Supporters of Ray Manzarak, Robbie Krieger, and John Densmore (all talented musicians) continue to say that Morrison wasn’t the “Doors”, as the lead singer and songwriter he was only a fourth of the group.

O.K. is someone going to produce the body of work by those remaining three quarters that I requested above.

Yup, still waiting……..
