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.
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……..
