If the Doors of Perception were clensed

Photo reblogged from A Rock N Roll Suicide

On December 8, 1968, Jim Morrison was twenty-five years old. The office had a little party for him, with a cake and candles. Afterward Jim walked down the stairs with Bill Siddon’s pretty blond girlfriend, Cherie. “He said to me, ‘Well, I made it to twenty-five. Do you think I’ll make it to thirty?’ And we both knew he wouldn’t make it to thirty.”

People lost their virginity to this music, got high for the first time to this music. I’ve had people say kids died in Vietnam listening to this music, other people say they know someone who didn’t commit suicide because of this music…. On stage, when we played these songs, they felt mysterious and magic. That’s not for rent.

John Densmore, The Doors
