I didn\u2019t understand why a group would name themselves after something like a door, but you could not have explained Aldous Huxley\u2019s \u201cdoors of perception\u201d concept to me at that age.   <!--more-->  <br \/> The song \u201cBreak on Through (To the Other Side)\u201d blew my mind. It was fast, and the singer yelled. There was a lyric that grabbed me: \u201cI found an island in your arms\/Country in your eyes\/Arms that chain\/Eyes that lie\/Break on through to the other side.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Doors were the first band I ever heard that made it clear that everything wasn\u2019t necessarily going to end well. As a young adult, I reconnected with their music with a different understanding of what they were about. Their second album, <em>Strange Days<\/em>, became a well-worn ally. I made more than one pilgrimage to the apartment-building roof in Venice where, it is said, Jim Morrison composed some of his early lyrics.<br \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/upload.wikimedia.org\/wikipedia\/commons\/thumb\/6\/60\/Doors_electra_publicity_photo.JPG\/250px-Doors_electra_publicity_photo.JPG\" border=\"0\" width=\"179\" height=\"132\" \/><br \/> The story of the band is steeped in myth-tinged legend, but the facts of their brief history are as compelling as they are at times tragic. Jim Morrison was a true wild man of rock &amp; roll. Try as I might, I can\u2019t imagine him past the age of his death at 27, so it seems that I have bought into the lore as well. <\/p>\n<p> But why not? Some songs by the band just stop you in your tracks. The Doors truly achieved something more than just music.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Source: LA Weekly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;The Doors are a band that has been in my life since I was very&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4832","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-music-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4832","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4832"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4832\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4832"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4832"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/skylight.gr\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4832"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
