I know this will be controversial. Jim Morrison died 50 years ago today.

The dj on the local station, put up 3 songs to be as a "tribute". The songs were "Soul Kitchen", "Light my Fire", and "The Alabama song".

I like the Doors a lot. Lots of great songs that my kids could listen to. Lots that I had to fast forward through as well!

You guys may not know, but the little girls understand.

Morrison didn’t like “Light My Fire”. The Alabama Song is a cover (lots of Doors songs were).

Out of the three, I’d vote for “Soul Kitchen” which Morrison wrote the lyrics for.

Creepy Brecht-Weill tune, sung by Lotte Lenya circa 1930.

They also wrote Mack the Knife.

Every song on the first album is great.

I first heard it as “Moon of Alabama”.
