"riders on the storm"....

After reading the biographies of the three surviving Doors in a short time, I have to wonder if they forgot to have fun while the train rushed away ? One can discern a certain playfulness and pleasure around 1965 when Manzarek and Morrison lived together on Frazer Av. (Venice). After that, there is most hard work (and trouble) during the incomparable creative process that they went through the next few years. But joy .... is just not there (or so they forgot to write about it ?). Densmore`s book is like a letter of reconciliation; "and a little sad that I did not really understand what was going on ... then". What you get from all three books (and they actually complement each other), is a very good picture of who Morrison was; an enormously talented and tormented young man, whose legacy is still as relevant today ....

Set the night on fire....
If you ever wondered about the true essence of Jim Morrison....this is about the closest you will ever get. Memories are retold with simplicity and honesty about James Douglas; the rebel without the bullshit. So many Doors we never got to see....

Forever young....is a short journey
"I`am not denying that I`ve had a good time these last three or four years and met a lot of interesting people and seen a lot of things in a short space of time that I probably wouldn`t have run into in twenty years of living. So I can`t say that I regret it, [but] if I had to do it over again I think I would have gone more for the quiet underdemonstrative little artist plodding away in his own garden."

..a new release (!) with a brilliant A-side. After that, four more
live performances were left, and then....the Doors were closed.
