Wow!  Decent line-up. Gimme an F! 

I still listen to the Grass Roots (once a year, maybe, but not here, as "Let's Live for Today" is their only cut in the Radio Paradise library, and it's never been played...YET).

Come on, RP, if Tommy James gets a little love here occasionally, can't we find time to spin something like "Temptation Eyes" or "Sooner or Later"?  Maybe I'm just a sucker for 60's power pop...

Scrolling back again as this played just now, your remark about summer music hit me again.  I would add another group to that category, GFRR.  Not nearly as epic as the Doors, but summer music all the while in the same context.

That's not Jim Morrison singing, surely? Sounds like Chas & Dave. Errtcha! 3 from the disappointed Nottingham jury.

Like "Wishful Sinful".
 
So the rest of have to miss out because of your questionable radio station selection?

Yep.

Rock and Roll has three central themes at it's core:
   1. Getting laid - easy to figure out
   2. Cars - includes going fast, excitement, etc
   3. Being wronged - basically the blues

This one deals with #1

The Doors are indeed summer music.  It was always summer back then in the OC.

No, no, no... It's a rainy New Orleans afternoon  from the eight track you've squirreled away in your glove compartment.

I agree with you jagdriver about this song being one of the Doors' most mediocre efforts.  Your added commentary is quite interesting.  The group's possible involvement with the mob (they probably provided Morrison and girlfriend Pamela Courson with most of their drugs and booze) shines a new light on the Doors saga.

This track was never a favorite of mine, and it's received far too much airplay over the years on both AM and FM. It's marginal when compared to so many other works (see below) by the Doors that we either don't hear, or rarely hear, here on RP.

Given its HUGE departure from previous efforts, my own take regarding this song—as well as Touch Me—is that Jac Holzman (Elektra founder) was experimenting with positioning Mr. Mojo 'Risin as a crossover solo artist. (If it wasn't Holzman, then someone in a higher position was applying pressure.) While both singles certainly sold very well, I feel this effort was a complete sellout by the the band in general and Morrison in particular.

I also have to consider what "Uncle" Russ Gibb, proprietor of Detroit's Grande Ballroom and weekend DJ on WKNR-FM, told me about the Doors' mafia connection. Of all the artists to appear at venues promoted by Russ, I recall him telling me that he was *very* surprised to see the group show up in a black limo escorted by "heavies."

The Doors are one of the seminal (look it up folks) bands of their time...Their creativity and personalities were uniqiue & they rocked my generation in the glorious 60s! Call me crazy! But I love them. Spanish Caravan, Unknown Soldier, Roadhouse Blues...ChrisB!
