    Fun fact: Jim Morrison was a poet and overall wordsmith of sorts and “Mr. Mojo risin”, the nonsensical lyric during the breakdown, is actually an anagram for Jim Morrison.
    Also the doors DID NOT have a full time bass player. This track had a studio musician, but What you’d be hearing live, and in the studio on most of the earlier albums, would be bass being played on these lower notes of a separate keyboard called a Vox Continental. Ray Manzarek would often split duties between bass rhythms and lead keyboards. Sometimes at the same time.

      Jim Morrison was has anything but, Hippy Dippy.” Back in the day he may have referred to himself or identified as more of a “freak,” than a Hippy. Jim was hard core in every way possible. He was a highly intelligent, educated, deep thinker who was as rebellious and brilliant as they come. He was probably also the sexiest man alive at the time according to my GF. I was 13 when this album was released and pulse increases when ever I hear Jim’s voice. The Doors’ music never leaves you.

Ray got a lot of their props too because of his organ play AND because he was their most outspoken member. John could play his ass off too. They were all good individualy but its the beauty of them playing in unison that brings the magic of The Doors to life.

    That's the "porcelain echo". He recorded his vocals for this song (and possibly the whole album) in the studio bathroom. It makes his vocals sound a bit different, and this particular remix enhances that. Also I just recently learned that it's Elvis' bassist at the time (Jerry Scheff) on bass for this album. Their producer (Bruce Botnick) usually played bass on their studio tracks but they brought in Scheff at Morrison's request (IIRC). Of course, Ray Manzarek would do double duty playing a bass keyboard with his left hand when they played live.

      The end was a short song when written. The Doors used to have long improvised instrumentals to fill thier set at the whiskey. These instrumentals allowed Jim to improvise poetry in the moment. His poetry is open to interpretation, Jim said himself "it means what you want it to mean".

      The End, Celebration of the Lizard, The Crystal Ship, When the Music's Over etc. are all just as essential to understanding the band as their radio friendly stuff. Morrison was a poet (with wildly varying results) and his work was heavily influenced by psychedelics so you can't really separate that stuff from the rest of the band's output.

    Wow, man I loved your reaction.
    The Doors captured the truth and the feel of LA in 1970, and that same truth and feel applies to LA today! LA Woman was recorded in 1970, and released in 1971. You nailed it! You're right, Mr. Mojo Risin' was Jim Morrison's alter ego. As the story goes, when Jim Morrison was a boy, his family came across a fatal accident involving a bus full of Native American Indians. He said that it was a really bad accident scene with a lot of bodies so badly injured, still laying in the road and on the side of the road as his family drove by. He said he saw some of them look right at him!! He couldn't look away and then he said he saw their souls leaving their bodies. Jim said that one of them entered his body!! He felt him inside his mind as a little boy. He said that man would come out sometimes, and when he got older, that man became his alter ego! Remember, the country was at war in Vietnam. The teens and 20 somethings were doing drugs. Everyone was fascinated by drugs. I might have only been a kid, but growing up in a big family in the city, I watched it all happen. The Doors were playing on every radio on every street corner as we all watched the older teen boys being marched off to war. The average U.S. soldier was a 19-year-old man from a poor or working-class family and they were drafted. The draft didn't end until 1973. This amazing one of a kind song brings back my childhood days. Every teen and 20 something , even, kids were mesmerized by the Doors. I still listen to it when I want to feel young and wild. THANK YOU for your appreciation of this counter culture song . Gotta' keep on risin'! Risin, risin!! Yea!

    Love you guys. I see all these channels trying to imitate what you guy's are doing, but at the end of the day they don't appreciate the greatness of a song and break it down like you all. You are absolutely correct on this song being a metaphor. Jim Morrison was a brilliant song writer. Cops in cars, never saw a woman so alone - great stuff. It's metaphoric, the physicality of the town and thinking of a woman and we need to take care of her. I'm from East LA, a part of LA that isn't glamourous at all. I love the end this song, Morrison repeats MOJO Rising. Jim Morrison created an ingenious anagram of his name by re-arranging the letters to spell “Mr. Mojo Risin. A mojo is a voodoo magic charm. It can be specifically a fertility charm, or just a generic word for voodoo magic or if you have a collection of charms you keep them in a "Mojo Bag"If the bag were red, it would be a mojo for love and you would have to put a personal item, such as hair or bit of clothing in order for the mojo to work. If the mojo were made out of a black bag it would be for death. Back then people thought mojo meant sexual energy, including Jim Morrison. I think Muddy Waters is the first to reference MOJO in one of his songs, "Mojo Blues". I love this song being from LA and all, if you really think about about the lyrics, it is a sad song. Love you guys! Keep up the greatness. Con Mucho Respecto Y con Mucho Amor.

      In their early days they kept it short n sweet n it was perfect to watch! Now they just drag on about their opinions and it just gets a massive eye roll from me

    For those arguing about the rhythm at the beginning - It’s the rhythm for “God Save The Queen” and/ or “My Country Tis Of Thee” They both used the same rhythm. “God save the Queen” first, and then “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” used it later. So...for those arguing...you’re both correct.

    I loved riding around L.A. and seeing what he saw when it came on the radio:
    "Cops in cars, the topless bars"
    Having hippie parents who got into heavy drugs i was aware of the dark side of L.A.
    As a kid saw the big "Doors" billboard on Sunset Blvd and how they sang of the underside; that life was darkness AND sunshine.

      Great song to cruise to, but Radar Love is #1 on my list.

    Watching you guys experience this song for the first time helps me to hear it with fresh ears---even though LA WOMAN is one of my all-time favorite albums. There are a lot of music 'reactors' on YT, but in my humble opinion, you guys are the best.

    Let err rip! Jim's vocals have an incredible power here. I've always loved that part at the middle-end. So much soul and gusto!
