@JimiHendrix @milesdavis Happy Birthday, @milesdavis!

I did a great podcast with @TheRodneyBarnes about his work through the lens of the 1960s.

Michelle Campbell shares the wild story of Jim Morrison’s missing bust—found after 37 years—and decades of Doors fan devotion at Père-Lachaise. From secret burial plans to a 600-lb sculpture drop, this interview changed how I see Jim’s legacy. #TheDoors #JimMorrison

On this day in 2013, we lost Ray Manzarek. I’ll never forget getting the phone call right after getting off of work. I always loved this photo of the band, particularly Ray. You are forever missed!

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

@MKaminskiMusic Ray is definitely my favorite. Love The Zombies’ Rod Argent as well.

We break down the songs on & songs left off. What do we think of the differences from the original release? Where does this rank among previous RSD releases? What can we expect from The Doors camp in the future? Almost two hours of discussion!

@ddutkowski This is super cool! Never realized the extent until I read his book.

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

@ddutkowski @shades_below @ErikJRomano As much myth as it created, it was still a transcendent film for me. The New Haven scene in particular featuring Bill Graham himself?!? Also one of the few movies I watched the entire credits. That may be the best part of the film— the roaming shot of the band just jamming.

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

@ddutkowski Also, long boxes were interesting. I never liked the long boxes for single CD releases or rereleases, but I loved them for the CD box sets. As much as I love The Doors box set, design wise, the Hendrix purple velevet boxset was by far my favorite.

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

@ddutkowski I interviewed Randall Jahnson, and he had some interesting stories about one of the screenings he attended with Stone, and Stone didn’t realize he was the guy who wrote the draft of the script he decided to malign… I mean use.

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

@MovingP73543198 @TheDoors It has been, but it wasn’t the version released in 2007. The bootleg was a lot worse quality. Highly doubt that was what McConaughey was listening to.

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

@chrismccord3571 @TheDoors I’m not sure if that was it either. Listening to it again, Jim only says three “alright”s.

[Opening The Doors @TheDoorsPod]

@benawebb @TheDoors That actually makes complete sense! Always forget about that release. Definitely the album he was listening to.

Happy Birthday to @RobbyKriegerArt!

Ray said of Robby that "Not only was he the snake man on bottleneck guitar but he was also a tunesmith with a touch of the poet himself," and I can't say that I disagree!
