The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger. The band took its name from Aldous Huxley's book The Doors of Perception, the title of which was a reference to a William Blake quotation: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite."

Jim Morrison - The End

Jim Morrison, free because his bail was paid, but particularly depressed, flew to Paris on March 11, 1971. He would never return to the United States and died in the French capital on July 3, 1971… This particularly melancholic photograph was found among his personal effects and seems to have been taken by Pamela Courson in the Parisian apartment occupied by the couple…

Sharing an experience

So the other night it was very very foggy out and close to dark but it was still a dark blue I went out on a car ride at night. I wanted to choose an album to listen to, so i chose strange days and by the time the album was over it was pitch black with the fog. This blew me away because of how well the album really fit the mood of a cold foggy night, and I highly recommend you to try it sometime.

Was Jim Morrison actually problematic?

I've been listening to the doors since I was 15 (I'm 20 now) and I've heard some people say he was problematic yet I've never seen or heard anything that suggests so I'm essentially wondering if that is the case ? Either way I'm not going to stop listening to the doors just out of curiosity really.

Non-album tracks

The Doors have released many non-album tracks, up until and after their breakup, such as "Whiskey, Mystics & Men", "Who Scared You", "Orange County Suite", "I Will Never Be Untrue", "(You Need Meat) Don't Go No Further", "Treetrunk", and of course "Celebration of the Lizard".

Am I the only one to have a playlist of those tracks, thinking of it as The Doors' tenth album? I've listened to those songs in that specific order so many times that if "Whiskey, Mystics & Men" is not followed by "Who Scared You", I immediately think that something's not right.
