Another habit says it's in love with you
Another habit says its long overdue
Another habit like an unwanted friend
I'm so happy with my righteous self

I've been listening to them since '89 or '90. I never grow tired of them. The songs never get old. In fact, I am still discovering new things in their music as every year passes. "Break on Through" still charges me up the same way it did when I first heard it. I think that says a lot about them as a band.
To me they are all-encompassing. You can simply groove and rock out to their music, drink beer and party to it, chill out to it, put on head phones and go on a journey to it, get high to it, or make love to it. The Doors can sound like music to a ritual or initiation, or simply just sound funky. It can be very spiritual, mellow, and beautiful and/or nasty, bluesy, and vulgar--sometimes all in the same song. It is sacred music to me.
The Doors did not allow themselves to be boxed in by lables or borders. They strived to be different. They are "world music" in the true sense of the word. Timeless and universal. But they are also so very, very California. Which is something I can appreciate, because that's where I'm from.
Alright, I've geeked out enough.

Riders on the storm
Into this house we're born
Into this world we're thrown
Like a dog without a bone
An actor out alone
Riders on the storm
There's a killer on the road
His brain is squirmin' like a toad
Take a long holiday
Let your children play
If ya give this man a ride
Sweet memory will die
Killer on the road, yeah
Girl ya gotta love your man
Girl ya gotta love your man
Take him by the hand
Make him understand
The world on you depends
Our life will never end
Gotta love your man, yeah
Wow!

Beautifully said and I could not agree more!
Little fun fact ~ Jim Morrison went to my high school and lived in my town briefly. Something I'm of course proud of. hehe. There's a bench in a park here here in Alameda dedicated to him.
One of my favs....
SOUL KITCHEN
Well, the clock says it’s time to close now
I guess I’d better go now
I’d really like to stay here all night
The cars crawl past all stuffed with eyes
Street lights share their hollow glow
Your brain seems bruised with numb surprise
Still one place to go
Still one place to go
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I’ll wander baby
Stumblin’ in the neon groves
Well, your fingers weave quick minarets
Speak in secret alphabets
I light another cigarette
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Learn to forget, learn to forget
Let me sleep all night in your soul kitchen
Warm my mind near your gentle stove
Turn me out and I’ll wander baby
Stumblin’ in the neon groves
Well the clock says it’s time to close now
I know I have to go now
I really want to stay here
All night, all night, all night

I love the Doors I liked them since i was a kid.
No shit! I'm gonna have to go visit that!
"Soul Kitchen" is one of my favorites.

YES it's true Sathogwa! Isn't that awesome? You should totally visit it. My old P.E. teacher use to actually be Jim's too. :eek: He use to cut hair and do tats on the side...he cut Jim's hair. He continued to cut hair years down the line with the SAME scissors that cut the mighty man's hair. He also use to tell us stories about him. Pretty fuckin cool. Glad you appreciate the greatness of SOUL KITCHEN as well. Such a rockin song!!!
Here's another fav.... no matter HOW many times I hear it... it never fails to take me away.
*CRYSTAL SHIP*
Before you slip into unconsciousness
I’d like to have another kiss
Another flashing chance at bliss
Another kiss, another kiss
The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We’ll meet again, we’ll meet again
Oh tell me where your freedom lies
The streets are fields that never die
Deliver me from reasons why
You’d rather cry, I’d rather fly
The crystal ship is being filled
A thousand girls, a thousand thrills
A million ways to spend your time
When we get back, I’ll drop a line
*sigh*
HAIL HAIL the almighty, legedary DOORS! In a classic league all their own. They can't be compared to anything else. Music that will forever ROCK our lives !

Hey that's a good story! I have one too. I work with an "old" (ha ha) '60's guy in my office. He was at a poetry reading in the late 60's here in Sacramento. The featured reader was the poet Michael McClure, a good friend of Morrison. Any way, who should show up that night along for the ride with McClure but the Lizard King himself, three sheets to the wind I might add. I guess there was only about 20 people at the reading and each of them recieved a handbound copy of "The Lords and the New Creatures" BEFORE it was even published from the hand of Jim Morrison himself. I guess my coworker was flipping through his copy and Jim looked at him and went: "What, man? Don't you like it?"
I guess every one wanted him to read that night, but he was too drunk.

I have read so many books on them, more than any other band.
"No one here gets out alive"
Wow I forgot how much I love that line!
My new signature!
Alot of my friends break my balls b/c they were all dead heads and I loved the doors. We would battle alot. Why can't you like both like me?
The doors box set is great.
Check out the acoustic version of "Hyacinth House" Fucking awesome!
I would love for Eddie to play that on his guitar.
Wow, would that be cool or what?
Sweep the Leg Johnny.
Very influential.
If their music was released today it would sell and be popular. Thats a sign of a great band!
