Roadhouse Blues: a visit with The Doors

This edition is about one of my favorite bands of all time, the Doors. Formed in 1965 out of Los Angeles with four musicians, this band was unlike anything to come out of the 1960s. Dark, moody, and unpredictable, the Doors broke all kinds of molds- they had no bassist, instead option for a keyboard, and lead singer Jim Morrison was a volatile poet who often caused as much trouble on stage as he did off. 

The name of the band comes from a William Blake poem: "If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite." (The Marriage of Heaven and Hell).
