Happy Birthday to Howlin’ Wolf.

The Blues ran through The Doors, and artists like Wolf gave us a direct line to that world.

Happy birthday to the legendary Howlin' Wolf, one of the defining voices of the Blues whose impact reached far beyond the genre itself.

The Doors paid tribute to Wolf with their take on “Back Door Man” from the debut album, bringing a new interpretation to the Willie Dixon written song he made famous.

Written in 1965, Jim found inspiration for “Hello, I Love You” after spotting a woman on the Venice boardwalk. Rather than introducing himself, he turned the moment into lyrics... creating one of The Doors’ earliest songs, years before it would become a No. 1 hit.

“’Sidewalk crouches at her feet / Like a dog that begs for something sweet.’ That’s a crazy great lyric! He couldn’t play an instrument but he’d come up with melodies in order to remember his incredible words.” - @JohnDensmore

Translations of the divine
in all languages. The Blues,
The records get you high,
in armies / on swift channels.
The new dreamer will sing
to the mind w/ thoughts
unclutched by speech.

Thought I’d share a few headshots from my resume... collected over the last 60+ years or so.

Back then, your profile picture ended up on an album cover and you hoped for the best.

When The Doors learned that Van Morrison’s band THEM would be joining the lineup during their residency at the Whisky a Go Go, they nervously pulled their cover of “Gloria” from the set list.

As the week went on and the bands got to know each other, “Gloria” made its way back into the lineup, ending with both bands joining together to perform it on the final night.

Some songs just have a way of finding their way back.

What songs would you add?

As a musician, the studio is the office. They come and go, and when you reach my age, you’ve worked in more of them than you can count.

That being said, nothing will ever top those days with Jim, Robby and Ray. The four of us.

Happy birthday to Allen Ginsberg. Poet, Beat pioneer, and a voice that helped shift American counterculture.

I remember Jim and I walking down the Venice Boardwalk in the early Doors days to the Venice West Café, just because we knew Ginsberg had once read there.
