      Ray was the de facto leader of The Doors.
      Jim was neither stable enough or possessed interrelation abilities for that role.
      John Densmore, a mere kid when he joined The Doors, initially looked to Jim
      as a big brother, but gradually came to resent and scorn Jim's behavior.
      Robby Krieger, also just a kid when he joined The Doors, had an old soul,
      and Jim deeply respected him, both as a man and an artist.
      Morrison tried to be on his best behavior around Robby,
      with varied success.

    Jim said the Morrison Hotel looks like a place "to start a religion, or commit murder." Jim was a master of extremes. He gave it all he had to the Doors music, and by age 26 was completely burnt out. He wanted to quit, and even told the band that he felt he was going to have a nervous breakdown. But the band talked him into staying on and make more money. Predictably, it only got worse for the burnt out Jim.

I sometimes say that I drank bourbon with a few cigarettes and listened to some doors songs on youtube. Then its "whats for dinner". well it is porterhouse steak on the grill, salad, asparagus, baked potatoes and baked pears with butter and maple syrup. Other than my liver and lungs its all good.

A famous 1800s sculptor lived there and you can match all its features to the album cover. It was also the home of crazy Prof. Irwin Corey!

    • @D35611
      @D35611 7 лет назад +40

      Some of the greatest writers and poets in history were depressed if not suicidal, and some of them felt that you needed to be living on the skids, in order to experience true sorrow. Morrison knew this, and his actions in so many areas of his life made that clear. Most likely, he felt that too much fame and success, could suppress his creativity. Clearly, being remembered as a poet, was more important to him, than being remembered as a rock star.

    • @justmadeit2
      @justmadeit2 7 лет назад +25

      D35611 I've never understood wanting to be remembered anyway, as we won't be here to remember it. It's more an ego thing when we are alive. I've heard it said Jim subscribed to the theory that the road of excess leads to the palace of wisdom, while in reality it often leads to an early death, or to mental health issues. I like the music of the Doors and Jim had a cool image, but now that I'm a little bit older I can see in general that he was a person without much peace of mind

    I remember driving by the old Morrison Hotel in downtown LA during the 70s when I was in college. It was still there then and I believe it was there during the 80s.
    In 2011 I moved to Portland, OR and another Morrison Hotel on Morrison Street just East of the Morrison Bridge. As an Uber Driver, I drove up and down Morrison Street a lot in 2015 and kept seeing that window, which looked very similar to the one on the album cover. A few months later, the building changed and the Morrison Hotel was no longer there.

      They weren't at the wrong location. Just look up Morrison Hotel Los Angeles California on Google Maps. There's a Google caption this says "Morrison Hotel Permanently Closed". Click on the street view photo and it'll put you right in front of that window that Henry Diltz talks about. The hotel is on the corner of Pico and Hope, just as Ray says in the film. Just not a working hotel anymore. That window is all boarded up. Henry Diltz is a famous photographer, by the way, took many rock album photos back in the day.

      The Morrison Hotel location is correct and still standing, but he got the Hard Rock Cafe locale wrong. Its still there and its the place shown right here.. 300 east 5th street. Area looked better back in the 60's than it does now.
      Best place to get the "Doors" feel in L.A is at Jim's Place at the Alta Cienega Motel by Santa Monica Blvd. Stood a weekend there 2 years ago. Fucking awesome but weird. Can almost feel the guys presence there.

    I think Henry Ditlz may be mistaken on the location of the Hard Rock Cafe. From my understanding the building still exists and is now the Green Apple Market.

    The building that was once The Hard Rock Cafe is still there. Ray got his directions wrong when he thought it was on 5th and Main. It's actually on 5th and Wall, 3 blocks east. The location is now called The Green Apple Market and is a convenience store for the hobos that hang out on Skid Row. There are other websites that also place it at 5th and Wall. The address above the door is 300. 300 E 5th St is the N/E corner of 5th and Wall. I further verified this by finding a picture of The Hard Rock Cafe taken in 1979 with the city street sign visible showing 300 E 5th St. Main St is the divide through Downtown LA of E and W so on one side of 5th and Main is 100 E 5th and on the other is 100 W 5th.

      Jim had a problem with weight when he was younger. After he was living in Venice and not eating a lot he lost weight. I wonder if part of it could be weight as opposed to puffyness?
