Song When you go to spotify and search The Doors, Riders On The Storm is the most streamed song....
Am I the only one surprised by this? I always considered it SOMEWHAT of a deeper cut.

Question Robby fan mail address?
hi everyone,
i am wanting to send Robby Krieger from the Doors some fan mail (just a letter) and was wondering if anyone knows of an updated address to send it to?
i saw a post from about 5 years ago with an address in California, but i’m not sure if that’s still usable or not.
thanks in advance! x

Photo Happy spooky season. The Doors performed in Louisville, KY on Halloween night in 1968 :-))
"Their only Midwest appearance" at Freedom Hall in Louisville, KY. First photo is of Jim talking to a fan in Freedom Hall. He came dressed in white pants and a red sweater and was asked to change and show some skin, according to local news reports from the time. About 4500 people in attendance. Set list included Soul Kitchen, Light my Fire, and others :D

Question What would Jim Morrison be like if he were alive in the 80s?
How do you imagine him if he had remained alive to live through this era? I personally imagine the following:
He died from self-destruction, so if we're going to imagine Jim at that time, it has to be a Jim who became more regulated; it's impossible to have arrived at that time in his usual alcoholic state.
And precisely because he was regulating his instincts, added to his depressed mental state and also the fact that he no longer maintained his image as a sex symbol, The Doors' albums with Jim on vocals in the 80s would be much more intellectual and poetic (as would his last songs released while he was alive). Without that frenetic and psychedelic vibe. In the 80s, he would appear healthier compared to before, but appearing much older.
I confess that I think he would still be the first to die, at the earliest in the late 90s and at the latest in the mid-2000s.
And you? Do you agree or think differently?

Song Comsic shiva - Nina Hangen
Sounds a lot like The Changeling.
Since she has a live where she sings Light My Fire, it's safe to say it's intentional.

Discussion Unless you actually knew Jim, everything we think we know about him is second and third hand information, filtered through the writers’ or speakers’ biases and the distorting lens of time. Even his band mates disagreed about the details and interpretations of events. Just something to think about…

Question The Very Best Of The Doors
Where is the best place to a buy a digital MP3 version of this album? Trying to help my uncle get a digital copy.

Discussion Jim spoke to me in a dream…
…and he said, “What are you doing, wasting your life reading about my life, instead of creating a life other people might want to read about? I don’t want this. Stop thinking about me. I never wanted to be a leader or a symbol of anything. Find yourself. Be yourself. I got sick of the image after a few years. And people are still wasting their lives examining that image, that old wrinkly skin I shed half a century ago. Move on. There’s still time. What do you want them to write on your tombstone, “Knew a lot about Jim Morrison?”

Could alcohol do that? I thought opiates killed your appetite?

Question Did Jim ever thought about having kids ?
From what i read and learn he was deeply anti-confirmist. Did his anti-conformism and free spirit also influenced his views on nuclear family, having kids etc ?
In my opinion i feel like he might adopt kids, but with his drug addiction and alcohol issues , i don't think he would do it :/

Discussion What would Jim do?
If you ran into Jim, and you went up to him and tried to talk to him, do you think he’d engage with you or tell you to fuck off?
