Strange Days: The American Media Debates The Doors, 1966-1971 Maximillian F. Grascher 2 Introduction Throughout the course of American history, there have been several prominent social and political revolutions carried out by citizens dissatisfied with the existing American institutions run by the government and its civil servants. Of these revolutions, Vietnam War and civil rights protest among youth in the 1960s was of the most influential, shaping American society in the decades to come. With US involvement in Vietnam escalating and the call for African-American civil rights becoming more insistent by the year, thousands of America’s youth took to the streets to protest the country’s foreign and domestic policies and to challenge the US government, much to the anger of America’s older generations. Artists played a critical role in the unrest, including musicians who encouraged a reformation of American society’s established norms through revolution.

  • 8.103 Crenshaw
    Five to One: Rethinking the Doors and the Sixties Counterculture 1 CHRISTOPHER CRENSHAW “Five to One” is an evocative phrase. For listeners aware of the Doors song by the same title, it can bring to mind images of sex, fear, death, freedom, revolution, or simply drugs and alcohol. It can be a good-time anthem or a sobering indictment of the sixties. For listeners in the sixties, this double meaning was likely intentional. The song’s lyrics are loaded with double- or triple-meanings. In the 1968 recording from the LP Waiting for the Sun, lead singer Jim Morrison’s vocals are at times audibly slurred; but the song starts off strong. “Love my girl, she lookin’ good,” Morrison almost whispers into the microphone, establishing a sexual tone from the beginning before letting his listeners know that “no one here gets out alive.” Joan Didion remarked on this sex/death duality in an essay in The White Album (1979). The Doors, she claimed, were “missionaries of apocalyptic sex.” They “seemed unconvinced that love was brotherhood and the Kama Sutra” and “insisted that love was sex and sex was death and therein lay salvation.”2 Other double meanings in the song are equally illustrative. In the next stanza Morrison sings, “they got the guns, but we got the numbers.” At face value, the lyric can be interpreted as an overt political message. The police may have “the guns,” but the people “got the numbers.” Organist Ray Manzarek, however, revealed another meaning of the song in a 1968 interview in Life magazine.

  • Celebration of the 1St Doors Album
    The Doors Experience: Celebration of the 1st Doors Album Dieser Tage feiert das legendäre Debütalbum "The Doors" seinen 40. Geburtstag! Das Werk der gleichnamigen Kultband um Jim Morrison enthält Hits wie Light My Fire, den Brecht- Klassiker Alabama Song, Break On Through und das rund zwölfminütige Meisteropus The End, das auch heute noch wegen seiner von Morrison künstlerisch inszenierten ödipalen Fantasien für Aufsehen sorgt. Die österreichische Tribute-Band "The Doors Experience" bringt seit mittlerweile über sechs Jahren erfolgreich die Musik von Jim Morrison und den Doors auf europäische Bühnen - verbunden mit einer erstklassigen Live-Show. Maßgeblich an der überzeugenden Performance beteiligt ist Frontman & Bandleader Jason "Jim" Boiler, der Jim Morrison in Gestik, Stimme, Optik und Charisma um nichts nachsteht. Natürlich inszenieren The Doors Experience das runde Jubiläum des Doors Debüt-Albums für ihre Fans in gebührender Weise: Neben vielen weiteren Doors-Klassikern aus dem Repertoire - wie L. A. Woman, People Are Strange, Riders On The Storm, Roadhouse Blues oder Touch Me - wird nun bei ausgewählten Shows das gesamte erste Album in Original-Reihenfolge gespielt. Premiere hat dieses Sonderprogramm am 26. Jänner im Planet Music Vienna. Die nächsten Shows führen The Doors Experience durch Österreich, Deutschland, Kroatien und die Schweiz. Alle Details dazu gibt's auf www.thedoors.at und http://www.thedoors.at/info/index.htm Line-up: Jason "Jim" Boiler - Lead Vocals Klaus Bergmaier - Organ, Piano, Backing Vocals René Galik - Guitars Martin Plangl - Bass Christoph Zauchinger - Drums V.l.n.r.: Christoph Zauchinger, Martin Plangl, Jason „Jim“ Boiler, Klaus Bergmaier, René Galik Foto-download in Druckqualität: http://www.thedoors.at/band/fotos/pressefotos/thedoorsexperience_psycic0.JPG Konzerttermine: Freitag, 26.
