"If the
doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to
man as it is: infinite."
And that quote was how Jim Morrison viewed the world. Infinite.
The Doors were a very moving, inspirational, and interesting
music group. The lead singer Jim Morrison, being a special
component of the band's take on the rock n' roll, and
bohemian style.
The band was formed by Ray
Manzerek, and Jim Morrison, two UCLA film student college
friends. Jim Morrison lead a bohemian lifestyle, writing
poetry, reading voraciously, and and having been just one of
the people moved by the Beat generation. While, Ray Manzerek
being a keybaordist in a band with his brother. When the two
reunited on Venice beach, California, Jim read some of his
poems, and songs, and then The Doors were formed.
The two then found drummer
John Densmore, and a guitarist Robby Krieger. Their first
rehersals were awkward, but when Robby pulled out a song he
wrote, (Light my Fire), that sparked the fire and the
Doors took off. Playing at clubs and bars, (The Whiskey a Go-Go
being their main stage) they were being offered to get
recorded.
Soon, there poularity
kicked in with their first album, The Doors. And after that
evrything went uphill. They were becoming more famous, Jim, at
live performances, would act very rowdy and often times, would
get pulled offstage by local authorities, and their song were
becoming- if you's say- stranger. But nobody who ever liked
them in the first place, disliked them in their later years.
The band just kept on going. But when Jim's untimely death at
age 27, on July 3rd, 1971 occured, the band stopped and The
Doors were over.
But, The Doors are an
everlasting band in the history of rock n' roll, and they will
always be remembered. They changed the outlook on the world and
influenced many things. They will, in my perspective, be one of
the greatest bands of all time.
