10 minutes with The Doors (1969)



For old times sake I include this 10 minute interview with The Doors. Obviously intelligent people, it is interesting to hear Jim talk in a rational and very unhyped way about the shamanism that so many attribute to his image.
Jim Morrison and Ray Manzerek do most of the talking in this 10 minute cut of an interview with band taken in 1969. Jim wears shades throughout the interview and seems knocked out or up on something. They talk eloquently and with very considered response to the interviewer about their thoughts over many various topics. They talk about their thoughts on comparisons that have been suggested between their music and rock concerts becoming religious or spiritual experiences for the Youth of America at the time.
Note, the interesting response of Jim Morrison suggesting that he can see a time where concerts will be given by one man with a lot of machines.
