Most people arent open minded enough or very culturally diverse to listen to music of another country. There is something so psychedelic and wise about classical indian music. Ravi shankar was the only musician paid to play at woodstock. That has to say something. The man who played with the beatles is a diamond in the roth, especially being so widely known in the US and being from india. The sitar is something so unique in this country and he is simply the master.

Every member in this band is the one of the best. Jim morrison, has to be one of the greatest vocalists of all time. Ray Manzarek has to be the best keyboard player. Robby Krieger an amazing guitarist *the long fingernails in substitute for picks are outrageous*; and John Densmore an exceptional drummer, as well as a captivating author.
The first album was a huge hit, and Back Door Man gave us a glimpse of what was to come in the future of The Doors' sound. For this changing sound, many bands are criticized, like the doors once were by the raving critics. But the fact is, the sound never changes. Later on, the band becomes powerful enough to create the music they've always wanted to create. And for this, we stubborn Americans ridicule them.
But it is not just the band, it is the legend. The legend of Jim Morrison to be more precise. The poetry. The pain. The women. The shaman who possessed his soul. Last but not least, the drugs.
I personally fell in love with the songs Jim loved to sing, those gutsy bluesy songs like Crawling King Snake. Lets not forget the amazing stage presence, where he would drop to the floor in a kind of seizure-type dance, or when the music went on he would do his infamous shaman dance. Performances included getting arrested twice. Once, for repeatedly insulting the cops that had sprayed him with mace in the eyes for resisting arrest for being with a woman in the bathrooms before the show. When they arrested him onstage for insulting them, he only taunted them more, daring them to arrest the lizard king. "Say your thing man."
But the soul-clenching songs like Spanish Caravan have also captured my heart. Those epic songs like The End, Riders on the Storm, and When the musics over held some of the most controversial lyrics when they were Live. I especially love the "weirder" songs, such as Not to touch the earth, Whiskey Bar, and Texas Radio and the Big Beat.
This music will become a part of your life; it is like an addictive drug. And you too, will fall in love and become completely infatuated with everything that evolves around The Doors.
Later the death of Jim would be debated over, commonly accepted as heart failure. Or maybe, a heroin overdose, influenced by his soulmate Pam. Or maybe he didn't die at all. I love that one. A few months before taking his final trip to Paris to "write poetry", (or instead drink until he flooded his soul)Jim talked to numerous people of faking his death, and going to live in Africa. The only people who have seen the body are Pam, and some unknown doctor she called. What's in the casket? 'Till this day, people are attacking his grave attempting to answer that question themselves.
The telegram Jim said he might send from "Mr. Mojo Risin" or another Doors song, to some random noble person, has yet to arrive. As we know of.
