This is a great song, but I’m kinda surprised to see you give it an A+ Hans, given your general antipathy for Jim Morrison.
The Doors had some good stuff- just think they are very overrated.. 2 great albums- their first and their last.
Like these guys Hans.
One of my all-time favorite Doors tunes – never gets old!
