The Los Angeles home where The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger penned the band’s hit psychedelic rock single “Light My Fire” was destroyed in the Palisades Fire.
Krieger — a founding member of the legendary genre-bending LA band — wrote the lyrics to the classic in the living room of his parents’ Pacific Palisades home in 1966.

Never hated The Doors, they were not overly political, and had great music.
Kind of poetic, in a sense.
Pacific Palisades was a sleepy, middle class neighborhood back then. Not the rich, celebrity enclave it later became.
Love their music, even if it was overly drug induced. Sad bit of irony about the house though.
Robby Krieger: “Light My Fire”
CA Illegals: “Si señor no hay problema.”
Meet the new Californian's who occupy the state, who multiply like ants.☺
A few of the arrested arsonist in CA.
The Doors were on of the top 3 or 4 bands of the era, if not the very top.
Underappreciated IMHO.
Blues-Rock with an ethereal flow throughout.
Densmore on drums was up there with Bonham and Baker.
I see a pattern here....
I see alot of PRIORS.
The Doors music brings back fond memories. Speaking of music, at the Hotel California the invaders are living it up and burning it down.
“ Kind of poetic, in a sense.”
No kidding.
For instance, Pam Morrison comes across as angelic and squeaky clean, when in reality she was a manipulative heroin addict.
But Pam's parents owned a 50% interest in Morrison's recordings (the other half owned by Morrison's parents). And Pam's parents would not give permission for Stone to use the recordings unless Pam was portrayed in a good light.
Well, a 50% interest in Morrison’s interest. The band members also owned a piece.
No one here gets out alive.
Same with all of our small, sleepy little bucolic towns on the San Francisco Peninsula. Then Big Tech arrived and created untold wealth. Now 30 year old couples buy a modest little ranch house on a quarter acre built in 1950, for $4 million tear it down and spend another $4 million on a new building.
This isn’t the nice post WW II world I was born into.
Agreed...the Doors I like the Doors as well.
“..Densmore on drums was up there with Bonham and Baker...”
Yep. Mixed in with likes of keyboardist, Ray Manzarek and the others, it became one awsome group.
The poor little “BROWN” people Mayorkass says are going to be “hurt” by the Laken Riley Act.
In the 1920s movie actress Thelma Todd opened a restaurant and bar in Pac. Palisades. She ran around with Italian Mafia types like Johnny Roselli who had just invaded the LA scene. She was murdered near her place, and the LA police looked the other way. Some ole, same ole.
