The Door To Memory

The Doors are no doubt, one of my strongest musical influences, dating back to my teens. Obviously, they date back before I was born but for me, they were one of my great discoveries as a teenager.

That period in my life was when I fist got into music in a serious way, surrounding myself with musician friends, listening to there music  - a lot of Pink Floyd, Yes, Genesis and so on, until my interest was peaked enough for me to go to the record store (yes, I am that old) and flip through the records, asking to listen  to things I hadn’t heard before, based on intuition, or cover or just plain absolutely gorgeous men on the covers, such as Jim Morrison on the cover of The American Prayer

Obviously I lucked out with this method, and hit gold, with  the record turning and turning and me, darkly (as fit for a teenager reciting along with him)

Anyway, Chris Goes Rock, just wrote a great post on Strange Days, which was the Doors second album.

He says it better than I would so check it out.
