"Look up here, I'm in heaven
I've got scars that can't be seen
I've got drama, can't be stolen
Everybody knows me now (...)"

 
I bought the box set of the Doors six albums, some very good work there. Incredible to think that the keyboardist Ray Manzarek also played basslines for their live shows on a special keyboard. That's some decent left/right hand co-ordination going on there! Jim Morrison certainly divides opinion, but he was a talented lyricist in my view with a resonant vocal style; his problem was that his alcoholism made him a boorish psycho at times. As a four piece band they created some really otherworldly music. Riders on the Storm is a fitting coda to a fine band. 6 albums between 67-71 is really good going.
