Ray Manzarek Por: @Leonardogoma Siempre me obsesionó el que Ray hubiera decidido vivir en la oscuridad. Nunca entenderemos si de verdad no dimensionó sus creaciones, o si vivía intencionalmente detrás de Morrison para no experimentar la trágica metamorfosis de la estrella sobre expuesta. Siempre me ofendió que los detractores de la banda que perfeccionó la psicodelia lo describieran como "el tecladista". Y sí, habrá que reconocer que nunca veremos un especial de televisión dedicado a su memoria, un recuento de grandes figuras de los sesenta [...]

The Doors rock tarihinin en önemli figürlerinden biri olarak, müzik tarihinde kendine özgü bir sayfa açmıştır. Grup dönemi itibariyle bir neslin acılarına, isyanlarına, kaygılarına tercüman olmuştur. Elbette The Doors demek Jim Morrison demekti. Grubun diğer üyeleri, The Doors’un kısa süren ömründe Kertenkele Kral’ın gölgesinde kalmaktan bir türlü kurtulamamışlardır. Oysa ki grubun en ağır yükünü sırtlayan ve grubun kurucusu olan kavyeci Ray Manzarek’ti. Jim Morrison’un şiir tadındaki şarkı sözleri onun elinde müzikal birer hazineye dönüşmekteydi. Maalesef üzücü haber yine tez yayıldı. Müzik [...]

• The Doors - Love Me Two Times
• The Doors - People Are Strange

There've been many awesome Stooges-related things that have come out of the last week or so, not least the band's new album (which is actually quite good ) and their killer performance at New York's Le Poisson Rouge. But perhaps most awesome all is the photo that's been making the rounds of Iggy clutching two kids in junior versions of his trademark sequined jeans. They look terrified, he looks delighted, and the whole thing is many kinds of awesome. So, in a similar [...]

En este "Mes Internacional de la Foto de Morro Pa'l Face" traemos lo que algunos de los más grandes rockstars habrían puesto en sus perfiles si fueran personas comunes y corrientes.

A long lost interview with Doors front man Jim Morrison has been animated as part of a newish series from PBS called Blank on Blank . Blank on Blank has my undivided attention with this rare 1969 interview between journalist Howard Smith and Morrison, in which Morrison confesses that his late-in-life fatness was desirable. It's funny and showcases Morrison's sly, playful nature. The series continues PBS Digital Studios' stellar efforts ( PBS Off Book , The Idea Channel , etc.) to deliver fresh and interesting content via [...]

Blank on Blank , a new PBS project that curates unpublished and forgotten interviews, released this animated clip today of Jim Morrison discussing his unlimited meal plan from college. Morrison gained something like 35 lbs for his Freshman 15, and he says it felt great. "I felt like a large mammal, a big beast," he says. "When I moved through the corridors or across the lawn, I just feel like I could knock anybody out of my way, you know? I was solid, man. It's terrible to be thin and wispy because you could get knocked over by [...]

Hard Rock International With their new exhibit "Gone Too Soon," Hard Rock International has collected artifacts from some of the most influential musicians to die before they got old.

Heroes for Sale - Jim Morrison 17-year-old Kiwi rockers  Fraser Hunter and Adison Whitley  go literally balls out on this new video by New Zealand directing duo  Thunderlips . Calling it a ‘romp’ would be a bit of an understatement - nudity abounds, cock socks, babies, pillow fights. C’mon. Get into it. Jeff the Brotherhood would be proud. You reading this, boys? Find this track and more on their Bndcmp .

Un nuevo documental sobre el cantante de The Doors, Jim Morrison ha entrado a producción. Se trata de un trabajo de los cineastas Z-Machine y se llamará: "Before The End: Jim Morrison Comes Of Age", el cual nos dará una mirada a la vida del fallecido cantante, examinando sus primeros años hasta su muerte en julio de 1971, a los 27 años.

It's hard for older generations to understand the "button pushing" ways of today's music landscape, which is why it's great to see producers resurfacing classic hits, allowing for a crossover effect to take place. British deep house producer  Riva Starr  takes on The Doors' 1967 hit “The End” and adds an energetic beat and groovy undertone. The original song was written by Jim Morrison about breaking up with his girlfriend, but evolved into an 11-minute odyssey during live shows, eventually landing in  Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . Hopefully you and your old man can bond over this [...]

Filed under: Exclusive , The Hit List , Music Appreciation Hulton Archive Did you know that Neil Young has only ever won two Grammy Awards ? In 2009 he scored Best Boxed Or Special Limited Edition Package for that Neil Young Archives Vol. I (1963-1972) box set, then a year later he won Best Rock Song for "Angry World." We'll let that sink in a bit. [...]

Gary Clark Jr. I love those new apps for the smartphone, especially the ones that let you listen to terrestrial radio anywhere in the world. Lately I've been digging WDST-FM, Radio Woodstock , operating out of the New York town that shares its name with the festival. WDST is one of those rare stations whose DJs will say something like "Boz Scaggs has a new album out ..." and they will actually play a song from that new Boz Scaggs album. Amazing - you don't usually hear that on [...]

In the late 19602s and early 19702s, the Village Voice ran a column by Howard Smith known as "Scenes," which served as the pulse of both the Village in its cultural prime as well as the underground culture in general. The author, Howard Smith, went on to become a bit of a legend in the annals in rock journalism, conducting historically critical interviews with members of the Beatles (shortly after the breakup), Pete Townshend, Jerry Garcia, Bill Graham, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin and countless others. Recently, Howard Smith's son, [...]

Annie Lebovitz's (in)famous photo of Fleetwood Mac, back in the day. This week the music world will celebrate the 35th anniversary of the landmark album Rumours , by Fleetwood Mac. The occasion is marked by the release Tuesday of a super deluxe, three-disc set of the 1977 album that went on to sell more than 40 million copies worldwide. We've all heard the album many times, almost as many times  as we have also heard the soap opera that went on as the album was being recorded. Producer Ken Caillat told [...]

The Doors Facebook When The Doors ' Jim Morrison composed the song "Strange Days" and its line "Strange days have found us, Strange days have tracked us down" he may have been more prophet than poet. That's because mid-December seems to really bring out the peculiar in people, particularly musicians. They get involved in car chases, knife-fights, plane crashes... and for Morrison, macings and on-stage arrests. To find out what exactly we're talking about, just click to launch the gallery below and read [...]

Nella ricca pubblicistica legata alla figura di Jim Morrison merita per noi un'attenzione particolare un libro come L'autostrada alla fine della notte pubblicato dai tipi di Odoya per la sempre più interessante collana musicale (parleremo presto dei libri su Ian Curtis e sui Daft Punk ). Il libro dedicato all'anima dei Doors porta la firma di James Riodan e Jerry Prochnicky con una gustosa prefazione di quel Frank Lisciandro [...]
