    I met Jim Morrison just before his concert in Chicago late 60's. We were panhandling trying to get enough money to buy a ticket and met a girl who painted a portrait of Jim. While we were talking to her, a person approached us and told us that Jim wanted to meet us. So he took us inside of the Chicago Coliseum where she gave him the amazing portrait she had painted. We talked with him for about 10 minutes. As down to earth and kind person I had ever met. He let us into the show for free.

    “How do you characterize your music? Does it have a name” 55 years later at the age of 25 the simplest way I can describe the doors is Haunting yet comforting. No other bands really tapped into the same energy The Doors had and it makes them very special in my mind.

Do you understand that or not!!? You proved to be a false convert by claiming that junkie Jim Morrison brought you to Jesus Christ, that is a lie from the pit of hell because that demon Morrison was blasphemous and obscene towards GOD. The Bible say that we all are sinners and that we all need a savior. Stopped lying selling your fake christianity. Ps., I'm not condemning anyone I'm just telling the truth!!

Turns out that the "living room" that Jim Ladd was referring to was the House of Blues in West Hollywood. I won two tickets and went a few days later. We were sitting in a booth and I looked over and saw Ray Manzarek sitting at the bar drinking a Heineken so I went over and struck up a conversation with him. He was such a beautiful man. So accommodating, gracious, and soft spoken. I was 14 in '67 and the Doors were and always will be my all time sentimental favorite band.

      Right on! But hey they are still reincarnating! And can you believe what Ray said? Going within . . . following that reasoning "Lighting the fire" has to do with lighting the spiritual flame within each one of us. And within our spiritual selves we find our energy opposite: female-male , negative-positive. When we go within and awaken the serpent-theSpirit, the kundalini (call it what you will) that enfolds us in an upward spiral with our opposite and we initiate and regenerate! Heard this song in the sixties; but now, with wisdom I would bet bottom dollar that this is what these Doors meant. Now I am pretty sure that two of them were initiates but not Philosophers not Regenerated, which is why we are all here to achieve with each reincarnation . . . until one is incarnated - comes back o help out.

    That song, "The Crystal Ship," was _the_ song that drew me into The Doors. One day I was playing the B side of a bunch of singles, and "The Crystal Ship" was the B side to "Light My Fire." I don't know if this happens to anyone else, but I have experienced this a few times in my life, when I heard a song, and I couldn't get enough of it. I'd have to listen to it again and again and again. It's as if the song is so close to perfect, I'll understand something new about melody itself, to bring me to a new state or something. That did that to me. To this day, all these years later, it gets right to my bones. It's romantic and poetic.

      Yes we did. We never knew what guests would be there at AB filmings but The Doors were monumental. Everyone went nuts. At school Monday, friends flipped to find-out they could have been there.
      AB was off the radar as something that kids paid much attn to--we could have seen a teeny bopper star, Herman's Hermits, the Fifth Dimension, Johnny Rivers, or somebody huge like Smokey Robinson and the Miracles. But not the top rockers.
      The year before, I'd been told to let Rudee Vallee sit next to me on the bleachers for a photo--my English teacher was so excited bc the photo was on the 1st page of the LATimes View section--He was a famous crooner and movie star in the 1930s. Starred in the Preston Sturges movie "The Palm Beach Story"--on TCM a lot. But at school, it was considered funny that we did this on our weekends.
      While being on TV was cool, this was a Sat aft show, not prime time. Sometimes, people laughed at us, called us teenyboppers. We saw Bobby Vee. No one was impressed. We had autographs of Paul Revere and the Raiders, the Merry Go-Round, Hard Times...again, no one was impressed. The Doors were there? Now we were cool! They were a local band, but they were at the pinnacle--respected for their rock & roll, gaining celebrity, everyone had their 1st album and would buy Strange Days. It was THE music at parties. We knew they were going to be huge around the world.

      Dick Clark asks Manzarek, "How do you categorize your music? Does it have a name?" Manzarek answers, "Well, it's impossible to put a label on it because of where we are in the music, being on the inside. You're only of the music, and all categories have to come from the outside. So someone else is going to have to say what our music is rather than us, because we are our music."
