I love it that John Densmore has held strong through all these years managing to block any music by The Doors from being used in commercials. He has always stood by Jim Morrison's similar and strong-held commitment, even after all the years since Morrison died. He had to battle his other two band mates, two guys he has a great deal of love for, over this issue (and he was able to make amends with them in the end).
I had the opportunity to meet John at a signing for one of his book that talks about all this, The Doors Unhinged. I thanked John for his steadfast commitment to keeping The Doors music out of commercials and for his integrity as an artist. He really struck me as a most graceful and wonderful person.

Standing up for something, even when rich - or having "gown" up as @Merkin Baller put it, what a novel concept.

Thanos to Neil: In time you will know what it's like to lose. To feel so desperately that you're right, yet to fail all the same. Dread it. Run from it. Destiny still arrives.
Neil sold 50% of publishing rights of his entire catalog so who knows what’ll come of that and advertising
Keep reading your articles about just that, and you might get the answer to that very question.
Typical condescending response from you. No one knows the terms of the deal, my point was a simple who knows what’ll come. Apparently you do.
In Wednesday’s announcement, Mercuriadis said that his company and Young “have a common integrity, ethos and passion born out of a belief in music and these important songs. There will never be a ‘Burger of Gold’ but we will work together to make sure everyone gets to hear them on Neil’s terms.”
We know what has been stated about the deal.

BUT WAIT -- this doesn't line up with Hawk123 narrative about Neil?!
Was my "Typical condescending response" right all along?
Oh my

I wouldn’t have thought the belief that an artist can do whatever they want with their art would have been that much of a novel concept either, but here we are.

I’m not sure what you thought my narrative was about Neil? My point was simply, who knows what will happen. I bet 20 years ago Neil would never have considered selling half his publishing rights. Good on him for looking out for his family and I hope this person he trusts brings more music to light for years to come.
Read my initial message again and see if it calls for the type of responses you’ve posted. Not everyone is looking for an argument.

If you come for the godfather of grunge. You better not miss.

Wasn't there someone on this forum that was gonna burn all his Bruce albums because he talked shit about Trump abroad... Maybe it's that dude. haha.
Why yes there was. I think it was Big Bank Hank or something. Interesting that this guy destroyed a little 45 worth about $2. What a patriot. I'm guessing he didn't burn down the Hammersmith.

Ad deleted. Lol. Couldn’t happen to a more self righteous prick. Don’t drink and drive you douche!
He stopped and was cool enough to take a quick shot with a fan. His blood alcohol level was .02. Cops shouldn’t have even cited him.

I still can't let go of this T-shirt!
S_C is correct, though. I actually yoinked the video from that buck88 dude's thread.
shouldn’t have even cited him.
-- But there should be no (zero) alcohol level in the blood when driving.
But why was he cited if he was within the legal limits of the state/US or whatever?
