Let's play 'stump The Doors nut.' :-)

[Aristus]

Ask anything Doors (the group, silly) related.

[Maddy McCall]

1. When Morrison was a kid and he saw the Indian through the window...

of the family's station wagon, what tribe did that Indian belong to?

[Aristus]

5. Ooo, good one. In his audio interviews, he mostly just referred

to them as "a truckload of Indian workers", but I think one time he did refer to "all those dead Apaches". I may be wrong, but I think that's it.

[Maddy McCall]

6. I don't know the answer...

I will bow to your expertise on the topic, though. :toast:

[Aristus]

10. Thanks.

:-)

[Hatalles]

38. What is "Peace Frog" all about?

[XanaDUer]

2. Did he or did he not show "it"

at the Miami concert?

[Aristus]

7. No. 152 photos taken of the concert over the course of its

hour-long duration, and not ONE of them shows "it". Mass hallucination combined with wishful thinking on the part of the concert-goers, and wish-it-had-been on the part of the moral crusaders who wanted to "close The Doors".

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. What is Morrison doing for a career today?

Why do I ask such a seemingly silly question?

Because the woman who led me to work in the music business ran into him in an airport.

After he "died". ;-)

He was such a fan of Rimbaud...

[Aristus]

8. Nope. he's dead.

Nice try, though.

[Freebird12004]

4. "Don't ya love her madly"

who was she ?

[Aristus]

9. Robbie's girlfriend at the time he wrote the song.

I think her name was Leslie.

[Freebird12004]

27. I still love the Doors

:yourock:

[dbt]

30. From what Christmas carol did Mazarek steal the organ solo

in "Love Her Madly?"

:smoke:
dbt

[Freebird12004]

31. gee-whiz, I really don't know

:shrug:

[Aristus]

35. Tough one. The organ interlude for "Hyacinth House" was a

Polonaise by Chopin, but "Love Her Madly"? Don't know. :shrug:

[Maddy McCall]

11. Why do I blush everytime I hear "This is the End"

Do I have some kind of complex about which I should see a Freudian psychoanalyst?

:7

[Aristus]

12. No, I just think that deep, down, you understand the song the

way it was originally written: as an homage to a finished relationship; a sad song about goodbye. Nothing Freudian to see here, folks.

[Maddy McCall]

14. LOL!

So, are you saying that it's ME with the Freudian problem? :7

Just kidding. Am enjoying your responses to this thread and learning a lot! :toast:

[Bunny]

13. Just what ARE they doing in the Hyacinth House?

My favorite Doors song.

[Aristus]

17. Trying to please the lions, of course.

I don't think he went into specifics.

[Zomby Woof]

15. Great!

I thought I was the only Doors fan on DU. I posted the lyrics to "Peace Frog" the other day.

What major event of 1968 is alluded to in that 1970 classic?

[Maddy McCall]

16. Hey, ZW.

:toast:

[Zomby Woof]

19. hey Maddypants!

:hug:

[Aristus]

18. The police savagery of the protestors at the Democratic

National Convention in Chicago.

[Zomby Woof]

20. we have a winnah!

And for a bonus... why does he mention New Haven, CT in the same song? :-)

[Aristus]

36. It was the site of the first on-stage rock-and-roll arrest; his own.

For mocking the cop who had Maced him before the show.

[dbt]

21. What type of guitar playing did Kreiger study before he went

electric? How often did he admit to changing his strings? What brand of guitar is he most often pictured with during his time with The Doors?

:hi:
dbt

[Zomby Woof]

25. my guess is Spanish guitar

Based on his mastery of the Albeniz licks during the intro of "Spanish Caravan".

But that is only a guess.

[dbt]

28. Good work, so far!

"I guess I like it fine, so far." Love Street

[Aristus]

37. Flamenco.

Don't know how often.

A Gibson.

[Zomby Woof]

22. I must mention...

I just got done playing their debut album earlier this afternoon... weird!

[Joe Power]

23. How deep was the blood in Chicago?

[HeeBGBz]

24. What is the "blue bus?"

That is calling us?

[Zomby Woof]

26. haha

Whenever I see that term used for the activists organization, I laugh and wonder how many DUers know the origin of the phrase. :-)

[EstimatedProphet]

29. So who is Mr. Mojo Risin'?

[Kat45]

34. Jim Morrison. An anagram of his name.

The name he would use to contact people after he was gone.

[bearfan454]

32. Where did the acoustics come from on their first album ?

[DU GrovelBot]

39. Who wrote the novel "Burn Down The Night"...

where Morrison has a central role? And what kind of books does the author now write?

[enigmatic]

40. What was the name of John Densmore's band before he joined The Doors?

I give you mad props if you know this one..

[Baclava]

41. Can you picture what will be...

In a...desperate land?
