When they performed it on the Ed Sullivan Show, they were told not to say the word “Higher”.....Of course, Jim made a point of emphasizing the word “Higher” when they performed it.
That story was made up for the Stone movie. Morrison always claimed that he was going to censor himself, but got nervous and simply forgot.
Jim didn’t write the song; he wasn’t married to the lyrics.
The story of adding the “Mother, I want to.......” to The End and getting fired at the Whiskey was true, however.
But those were Jim’s lyrics.
I think the Doors in retrospect were a really pretentious art rock band that somehow made two incredible straight rock albums (the first one and the last one).
