#1. History behind alt.music.the-doors.: The newsgroup alt.music.the-doors was created by Dave Thompson in February 1994, after observing people asking the same question every week about his favourite band. "Is there a newsgroup for The Doors?"; The purpose of alt.music.the-doors is to provide a forum for discussion and exchange of questions, ideas, views, and information about anything to do with Jim Morrison and the musical group, The Doors. Everyone is invited to take part in this discussion by sharing their views, ideas, opinions, experience and information.

#2. Who was in The Doors?

#3. How did The Doors get their name?: The name `The Doors' was Jim's idea and it was inspired by a quote from William Blake,

#4. When and where were The Doors formed?: The Doors were formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California. Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek had known each other at UCLA where they majored in film. In the summer of 1965, Manzarek was on the beach in Venice when Morrison came walking toward him. Jim sat down and the two them started talking about what they had been doing during the summer. Jim said he had been writing some songs. Ray asked him to sing one of them. Jim sang a few lines from Moonlight Drive. Ray was very impressed with the lyrics and suggested the two of them form a rock band. Jim said that that was his idea all along.; The very first line-up of the band consisted of Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek, along with Ray's two brothers, Rick and Jim. There was no bass player or regular drummer. They just hired whomever they could whenever they landed a gig. Then Ray met John Densmore at the Third Street Meditation center in Los Angeles. Ray and John were both disciples of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi who opened the center in 1965. Ray invited John to join the group and be their regular drummer. In late 1965, Rick and Jim Manzarek quit the band as they seemed to be on a fast road to nowhere. They had shopped a demo tape around with little interest until Billy James at Columbia Records signed them to a deal. However once signed, Columbia did not show much interest in actually developing the band. On top of all this, they now had to replace Rick Manzarek who had been their guitar player.; Ray remembered another guy at the Meditation center who was a guitar player. He was a friend of John Densmore, named Robby Krieger. When Robby went to audition for The Doors he fit right in. Like the last piece of a jigsaw puzzle, the band was now complete. Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, Robby Krieger and Jim Morrison were now, The Doors.
#5. What instruments did The Doors use?: Ray Manzarek started off using a Wurlitzer electric keyboard. He then switched to a Vox Continental organ. He put a Fender Rhodes Piano Bass on top of the Vox. He used the Vox for about two and a half albums and then started using a Gibson Kalamazoo.; Robby Kreiger started with a 1964 Gibson Melody Maker. This guitar was stolen so he then used a Gibson SG Special. For bottleneck playing, he used a Gibson Les Paul.; John Densmore started off with Gretsch drums. One tom-tom on the bass, one floor tom and a snare. He then switched to Ludwig for the third album. He used a basic four-piece setup of snare, bass, and two tom-toms. He used Zildjian cymbals for the first three albums and then switched to Paiste 605s.

#6. What studio albums were released on the Elektra label?
#7. What other Elektra albums were released?

#8. What studio albums were recorded after Jim's death?
#9. What is their number one selling album and single?: The number one selling single is really no surprise. It is `Light My Fire'. It was the #1 song on the National Top 40 for three weeks and in the National Top 40 for a total of fourteen weeks.; Sources point to L.A. Woman as being their best selling album. If anyone can find proof that this is true, please let us know the source of the information.

#14. Are there any Doors fan-clubs?
#15. Are there any Doors tribute bands?: Yes. Look for the following bands in your area. (All information is compiled quarterly from The Doors Collector Magazine and is subject to change.)

#16. Where can I get Doors files on-line?
#17. Are there any Doors sites on the World Wide Web?: There exists several sites on the World Wide Web. These sites have been compiled from postings to alt.music.the-doors.

#18. Who was Pamela Courson?: Pamela Susan Courson was born December 22, 1946 near Weed, California. She met Jim at Gazzarri's Club in L.A. while an art student at Los Angeles City College.; At the time of their meeting she was nineteen years old. She would become Jim's steady companion for the next five years until his death in 1971. Their relationship could be described as love-hate. They loved each other deeply, but they also fought often and abused each other. She was the one woman who could and did stand up to Jim. She could dish it out to him as well as he could to her. They both had flings on the side with other people but they always came back to each other in the end. Pamela was to take the name Morrison later on in their relationship even though she never actually married Jim.
#19. What is the official cause of Jim's death?: Jim Morrison was found dead in the bathtub at approximately 5:00 am on July 3, 1971. On July 2, Jim had accompanied Pamela Courson to see a movie. After watching the movie they returned to their apartment, and he went to bed. He awoke some time later coughing and complaining of chest pains. He decided to take a bath. On the morning of July 3, Pamela awoke to see Jim still in the bathtub. She went into the bathroom and discovered he was dead. The death certificate simply stated he died as a result of heart failure. It was speculated that a blood clot from a respiratory illness made its way through his bloodstream where it stopped his heart, while he took his bath. There has since been speculation that Jim died of a drug overdose, possibly taking heroin thinking that it was cocaine. However there is no proof and no autopsy was ever performed.

#20. Where is Jim buried and is his body to be moved?: Jim was buried July 8, 1971 at Pere-Lachaise cemetary in Paris, France. Pere-Lachaise is one of Paris' oldest, most prestigious cemetaries. Many famous people are buried here including, Chopin and Oscar Wilde.; Jim's plot was originally leased for a thirty year period, due to expire in 2001. This has fueled the rumour that his body is going to be removed from Pere-Lachaise during that year. This is because the relatives of the deceased at Pere-Lachaise have petitioned to have his body removed. The reason given is that many people who call themselves fans have desecrated tombs and headstones with graffiti and left behind much litter after visiting the cemetary. It is not known where Jim is to be moved to, but the popular rumour is that he will be moved to Los Angeles.
#21. What do the strange letters on the headstone mean?: The following words are written in Greek on Jim's headstone.; I have seen more than one translation for these words. I am including more than one translation since I really don't know for sure if one is more correct than the other. They seem to have one theme in common though, and that is demons or the devil.; Recently obtained information indicates that Jim's father is responsible for the Greek inscription. Reports suggest that there was a `better late than never' reconciliation with his late son. Back in 1991, Jim's father replaced the original headstone wtih the new one bearing the Greek inscription. It would seem that translation number 3, `Faithful to his spirit', is the true translation. When you give it some thought, it does seem appropriate. I am trying to track down the original source of this information to verify it myself but until then I'll leave it at this.

#22. How and when did Pamela Courson die?: Pamela Susan Courson Morrison died April 25, 1974 in her Hollywood apartment of a heroin overdose. Every version of the FAQ up until now, reported that her ashes were buried in Jim`s plot. That information was taken from the book: `Break On Through', by Riordan & Prochnicky. New information has come to light from two seperate, very reliable sources which proves that Pam is NOT buried in Jim`s plot. Its thought that perhaps Jerry Prochnicky wanted to protect Pam's grave from the type of vandalism and graffiti which occurs at Jim's grave. It seems that Jim's plot is a double plot with Jim on the bottom. Pam was probably intending to be buried on top but since her family had a dislike for Jim at this time and blamed him for her death, they decided to keep her remains in California. Pam's remains are currently entombed in a mausoleum in Orange County, California. In keeping with the family`s desire to not have Pam's grave become a tourist attraction, I won't divulge the exact location.
#23. Who is Patricia Kennealy and was she married to Jim?: Patricia Kennealy was editor Of "Jazz and Pop" magazine when she met Jim Morrison in 1969. She met Jim at the Plaza Hotel in New York City for an interview. Not only was Kennealy a magazine editor, but she was also a practicing witch. The question of marriage is a thorn in the side of many fans because she currently goes by the last name of Morrison. While there is no doubt that she married Jim in a pagan ceremony (handfasting), the marriage is not recognized as legal. Kennealy has admitted such but maintains that it was a spiritual committment between Jim and herself and many fans support and believe her. On the other hand, the fact that Jim did not mention the ceremony to many of his friends and that he returned consistently to Pamela Courson until his death, seems to support the opposing view that Jim participated in the ceremony for kicks and that he didn't take his relationship with Kennealy seriously.

#24. Why was Jim arrested in New Haven, Conneticut?: On December 9, 1967, the Doors were scheduled to play a concert in New Haven, Conneticut. Jim Morrison had turned 24 years of age the day before. His birthday had not been a joyous occasion because the Doors concert on December 8 in Troy, New York had been a huge disappointment. The Troy crowd did not respond well to Jim Morrison and the applause after the concert died quickly. In fact, there was no encore at this concert. The Doors departed quickly and Jim decided to take a limo all the way back to New York city instead of taking the plane. Jim was depressed and hoped that New Haven would be more receptive the next night.; The New Haven crowd seemed to be waiting in anxious anticipation of something special about to happen. Policemen provided security at the show and they lined the hallways making sure that no one could get backstage. Before the show started, Jim met a local college girl. He wanted to talk to her in private and they located a shower stall near the dressing room. Shortly after entering the stall, the young couple began making out. At this point a police officer happened upon the scene. He failed to recognize Jim as the lead singer of the Doors and ordered him and the girl to clear out. Jim refused to move. The officer repeated the order and Jim again refused, telling the officer, "Eat it!" The officer withdrew his can of mace and offered Jim one last chance. Jim responded, "Last chance to eat it!" The officer now lost his patience and fired the mace directly into Jim's face.; Jim screamed in pain from the effects of the mace. He stumbled down the hall to the dressing room with tears streaming down his face. The Doors manager Bill Siddons informed the police just who it was they maced. The officer who maced Jim, explained he hadn't known who Jim was but he still wanted to arrest him. Siddons, fearing a riot if the star attraction was hauled off to jail, pleaded with the police to let Jim take the stage. The police relented and Jim and the officer apologized to each other. Before long the Doors hit the stage. The crowd was very enthusiastic in New Haven. Jim responded by moving and jumping about the stage. The crowd was going wild and shouting along with Jim as he screamed the lyrics to "When The Music's Over." They exictedly applauded Jim's every move onstage. The last song of the night was "Backdoor Man." During the instrumental break, Jim started talking to the crowd. Policemen lined the stage and the areas just offstage. Jim began telling the people how he met a girl prior to the concert. He continued on...; "We started talking and we wanted some privacy and so we went into this shower room. We weren't doing anything you know. Just standing there and talking. And then this little man came in there, this little man in a litle blue suit and a little blue cap. And he said, "What ya' doin' there?" "Nothing." But he didn't go away. He stood there. And then he reached 'round behind him and he brought out this little black can of somethin'. Looked like shaving cream, and then he sprayed it in my eyes. I was blinded for about thirty minutes."; After this speach, Jim returned to singing the song when the lights suddenly came on. Jim asked that the lights be turned off. In a matter of seconds, Jim was flanked by two policemen. Jim offered the microphone to Lt. Kelly so he could say his thing. At this point, Ray Manzarek approached Jim. Just then, the officer grabbed the mike and the two officers started dragging Jim off the stage. The police said the concert was over and everyone was to go home. On this night, Jim Morrison had taunted and embarrassed the police. The police weren't going to stand for it. They chose to flaunt their authority by arresting Jim and making a scene. Once they had Jim out of the view of the audience, they proceeded to punch and kick him repeatedly before throwing him into a cruiser and bringing him to the station.; According to the official police report, Jim was arrested when he began using vile and filthy language while relating a sexually expicit story. This was totally false information. The police said they arrested Jim when they began receiving complaints from people in the audience. It was obvious though that the police were angry and embarrassed, so they arrested jim on trumped-up charges. It is amazing to compare the official police report to eye-witness testimony. The police allege that Jim was arrested for an indecent performance yet it is clear that he was simply telling a truthful story to the audience. Jim said nothing that was sexually obscene. The police allege Jim resisted arrest. There are plenty of witnesses who saw the police beat Jim and yet Jim did not even fight back. This charge was invented to justify the injuries that were inflicted upon Jim.; Jim Morrison had become the first rock star to be arrested while on-stage, yet the police had no grounds upon which to lay charges. They could not admit in their report that he was arrested because he had embarrassed them. They clearly invented these charges and it would be obvious to the most casual observer. The only fabric of truth in their report was a reference to the girl in the shower stall. Charges were eventually dropped but it proved to foreshadow trouble yet to come. It made Jim Morrison noticeable to the authorities and this would become painfully obvious in Miami.; Jim never forgot the New Haven incident. Recollections of the bust echo in the song, "Peace Frog" in the line, "Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven." It would appear that strange days had finally tracked Jim Morrison down.
#25. What happened in Miami, Florida in 1969?: The Doors were scheduled to play a concert at the Dinner Key Auditorium on March 1, 1969. The Doors manager, Bill Siddons had made a deal with the Miami promoter, Ken Collier to accept a flat fee of $25,0000 instead of sixty percent of the gross receipts. Collier then sold bewteen eight to nine thousand tickets at more than the agreed price. Collier also removed seats to allow more people into the auditorium. An auditorium designed to hold seven thousand people was now packed tight with about thirteen thousand.; Jim Morrison missed his scheduled flight into Miami and spent the time waiting for the next flight, drinking in the airport lounge. Once he boarded the plane he continued drinking. During a stopover in New Orleans he missed his flight again and consumed even more drinks waiting for the next flight. By the time he reached Miami he was extremely drunk. Once he took the stage he was almost falling down drunk. He was abusive towards the audience, he would start a song only to stop it after a few lines, he would bum even more drinks from members of the audience. At some point in the concert he then asked the audience, "Do you wanna see my cock?" He allegedly then exposed himself for a brief instant and continued on with the show.; The next day the Doors started a planned vacation. While out of the country, the press in Miami had a field day with the alleged exposure incident. Pressure was put on local officials to do something about it. On March 5 1969, Bob Jennings from the state attorney's office acted as complainant. A warrant was issued for the arrest of Jim Morrison on one felony count of lewd and lascivious behaviour and three misdemeanor counts of indecent exposure, open profanity and drunkenness.; Jim turned himself in to the FBI in Los Angeles on April 4, 1969. On November 9, 1969 he entered a not guilty plea in Miami. The trial did not start until August 12, 1970. Max Fink was Jim's defence lawyer, the prosecuter was Terrence McWilliams and Judge Murray Goodman presided over the case. Much evidence was heard from witnesses for both sides. Most of it was contradictory. On September 20, 1970 the jury found Jim Morrison guilty on the misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure and profanity. He was found not guilty on the felony charge and the misdemeanor for drunkenness. He was released on a $50,000 bond and returned to Miami on October 30, 1970 for sentencing.; Judge Goodman sentenced Jim to six months of hard labor and a $500 fine for public exposure and sixty days of hard labor for profanity. The sentences would run concurrently. He would be eligible for release after two months and would be on probation for two years and four months. His lawyer filed an immediate appeal. Until the appeal could be heard, Jim would be free on the $50,000 bond.; Jim Morrison was to die in Paris, France July 3, 1971 before his legal problems could be resolved.

#26. Who was 'Mr. Mojo'?: Mr. Mojo makes his appearance in the song L.A. Woman. The verse goes something like this,; etc,etc; One thing we know for sure is that `Mr. Mojo Risin' is a perfect anagram. Re-arrange the letters and it spells `Jim Morrison'. The only other thing we know is from John Densmore's book. In it, John says that mojo is some kind of black magic sexual power. So, we'll just leave it up to your imagination to come up with the answer of what Jim meant by this.
#27. Whats that phrase at the end of `Touch Me'?: Right at the end of this song, a phrase can be heard that many people do not quite hear correctly or else wonder where it came from. The phrase is; "Stronger than dirt". The origin of this is from a television commercial that was playing on-air in the late 1960's. The line was used as a slogan for the houshold cleanser, Ajax.

#28. Was the movie `The Doors' accurate?: It is generally agreed upon by Doors purists that Oliver Stone's movie was not a true representation of Jim Morrison and The Doors. While the movie had some great music in it and the actors did a fine job, (particularly Val Kilmer as Jim) it seems that Stone took some liberties with the film. The film only shows the dark, self-destructive side of Jim. He is portrayed as an out-of-control, abusive drunk. Certainly that was a part of his persona. But there was much much more to the man as any true Doors fan can tell you. And Stone for whatever reason chose not to explore the poetic and intellectual side of Jim. At least not to any great extent. Unfortunately, the movie has only reinforced the idea among the general populace that Jim Morrison was nothing but an obnoxious, pathetic rock-and-roll singing alcoholic. Ray Manzarek has gone on record as saying that several scenes in the movie never took place. Scenes like the turkey dinner, the closet fire and the song `Light My Fire' being used in a commercial. Those of you have seen the movie know which scenes these are, those of you who have yet to see the movie, keep these scenes in mind.; This writer would recommend that you see the movie for the music and Val Kilmer's portrayal of Jim. But, for someone who wants to learn more about The Doors and the `real' Jim Morrison, please read some of the books mentioned above and get your hands on some of the official video releases.
#29. What are the remaining Doors doing today?: Ray has been working in partnership with poet Michael McClure. During their performance, McClure recites his poetry and Ray accompanies Michael on the piano. They have released a CD called `Love Lion'. The CD is on the Shanachie Records label.; John has been touring with writer Michael Ventura. They do poetry and dramatic readings.; Robby is busy with his own band called, 'The Robby Kreiger Organization'. Robbie and his band have just released a new CD on One Way Records called, RKO Live! This new CD contains 4 Doors classics, Back Door Man, Spanish Caravan, Riders On The Storm and Light My Fire.

#30. Whats this about a Jim Morrison postage stamp?: I was contacted by the co-chair of the Morrison Commemorative Postage Stamp committee and asked to include in the FAQ information about how you can support the campaign to get a stamp issued. This subject has created controversy in the newsgroup, dividing people into two opposing sides. Some people are against the idea saying Jim himself would not stand for it, some people think its a great idea and say Jim would get a kick out of it. I am not taking a position either way. I am just presenting the following information and people can decide for themselves if they want to support it or not.; Doors fans arise! We need your help in our international effort to put Jim Morrison on a commemorative U.S. postage stamp.; How do we accomplish that? A little background. A group called the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee comprising 12 members appointed by the U.S. Postmaster General meets four times a year to consider nominations for commemorative postage stamps. As you well know, Elvis Presley passed the Committee's muster some time ago and is featured on a stamp issued in January 1993, the first of a "Legends of American Music" series that has since included a wide range of other American musicians.; Certainly no "Legends of American Music" series would be complete without the Doors. And Jim Morrison fits the other prerequisite for getting on a stamp--he's been dead for at least 10 years. Or at least we think he has been.; So here's how you can help: Write to the individual members of the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee (names and address follow). Tell them in your own words what the music of the Doors has meant to you and why Jim Morrison should be put on a stamp. They're there to listen to you, and a representative of the Committee told us they've heard from a lot of Doors fans already. They need to hear from a lot more. Remember--they've got the guns but we've still got the numbers!; Jim Morrison would have been 50 years old on December 8, 1993. On that day the Morrison Commemorative Stamp Committee formally petitioned the Citizens Stamp Advisory Committee to put the real king--the Lizard King--on a stamp. With your help and letters it can happen.; We want a stamp and we want it now. Tell all the people.; The Morrison Commemorative Stamp Committee is trying to recover its out-of-pocket expenses for this modest effort through the sale of classy commemorative T-shirts featuring a brilliant red lizard w/gold crown crawlin' across a black tee. To get your own limited edition, high-quality shirt (sizes L and XL), and to help defray the costs of our campaign, send $15 in check or money order to: Morrison Commemorative Stamp Committee, PO Box 14985, Minneapolis, MN 55414. All proceeds are plowed back into postage and other expenses--so far we're still in the hole!
