    It was a great song even before it was used in Apocalypse Now, when I used to listen to it late at night (for added effect.) I didn't see the Doors movie ... I missed the real Jim too much to want to see him portrayed by an actor ... plus I got all the info I needed from reading "No One Here Gets Out Alive." Jeez, I'm dating myself big time, aren't I?

    Anyway, when you're digging through the vinyl bins, look for this one: http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=A2so20rnac489

    I highly recommend it. :)


    just how old are you? believe it or not, I am not the oldest on this board. we have some people here over 50 (they rock!!!)

    I no longer have a record player. Have not had one since I left my first husband in 1984. I still have my old albums though collecting dust in the closet. The picture on the back of the Journey (Infinity) album (1978) is good for a laugh. The big moustaches, shag haircuts or afros, polyester bell bottoms with something very promenately displayed...

    but I will keep that album Doors in mind or I'll go look for it at Record and Tape traders.

    I wouldn't say the end is a terrible song at all amigo.

    The vibe of the song is amazing. The sombre feeling it gives out.

    well you opened this can of worms and you can't really talk about the doors without talking about drugs...sorry.

    There is a awesome performance of the end with The Doors and Travis Meeks in the storytellers. Everybody get drug, that`s the life.

  • Too much drugs - bad

    The wrong drugs - very bad

    Campaigning for yourself tirelessly about never doing drugs - just as bad.

    These things are out there and used responsibly can lead to a profound experience in your life. A little weed or psychadelic dabbling can, if you'll excuse the phrase, 'expand your mind'. It's not just a funny hippie cliche, it's a truth.

    yes I read the LSD thread that was on the AET a few weeks ago.
    I just don't understand why JM died. I thought when I was a child, that they said he died in the tub of natural causes....now this weekend I've read different reasons he died, heart attack, his girlfriend shot him up with heroin, then I read there was no autopsy. I've read like 3 conflicting things plus you never know what is true.

    why are they dumb? because they choose to live their lives in a different way? I don't think you are dumb for not taking drugs but its not my place to say that people who do are dumb either.

    just my five cents :)

    It's the sort of song you grow out of.

    Totally agree. First time I heard it, I thought it was bone-chilling and etc, now it bores me, unless I'm watching Apocalypsis Now, it fits perfectly with the initial sequence of Martin Sheen.

    The movie is so-so, for me it fails to explain why Jim Morrison was the way he was. It only delves into his drunken antics and his fascination with death. The movie does not even asks why. As many Oliver Stones, great filming and editing, but bad scripting...

    To Neruda25, I don't want to pick a fight with you at all, but IMHO Pablo Neruda is greatly overrated...

    Obviously a masochist. I couldn't even watch it once, and I've been a Doors fan since I was a tiny little kid back in the 60s.

    Classic Morrison, maturing like a fine wine still provoking thoughts and sparking arguments amongst people today, the work of a true artist.
