It’s been 60 years since #TheDoors opened, and #JohnDensmore still has a lot to say.
We talked drumming without a bassist, post-myth Morrison, surviving Trump’s war on the arts, and playing The Wasp live for the first time at age 80—just before his thumb gave out.
“Being in a band,” he told me, “is polygamy without the sex.”
Tonight on WFPK at 6p: #TheDoors’ #JohnDensmore stops by to talk Morrison myths, protest rhythms, and why jazz drummers make the best rockers.
Plus: Faces swagger, Otis soul, Who bombast, Stranglers sneer, Sonic Youth noise, new Elbow beauty, and the Square Pegs theme.
On today’s episode of Kyle Meredith With… I’m joined by #TheDoors drummer #JohnDensmore.
We dig into the band’s 60th anniversary, unravel the myth of #JimMorrison, talk about reuniting with Robby Krieger, and get into a whole lot more.

Madre mía, qué gozadera escuchar del propio #RayManzarek, gentleman por excelencia que en gloria esté, cómo surgió la tenebrosa y sugerente atmósfera de ese pedazo de canción de #TheDoors que es "Riders on the Storm".

Morrison Hotel
The Doors release Morrison Hotel on February 9, 1970. The cover is shot by the legendary Henry Diltz. Morrison Hotel is considered by many as the return to the original Doors "blues-rock" sound found in their earlier albums. Lonnie Mack worked the bass in studio sessions.

Is the song about crystal meth? Does the ship represent a hypodermic needle? Could the kiss be the act of drug injection? #JohnDensmore explains that, although #JimMorrison was aware that "crystal" was slang for methedrine, he actually wrote The Crystal Ship for a gf with whom he was breaking up. Inspired by Blake's poem The Crystal Cabinet, it is 1/ the many Doors songs inspired by him. Borrowed from c12 Irish Lebor na hUidre (Book of the Dun Cow) ms?

Who scared you?
Why were you born, my babe?
In two-time's arms with all of your charms, my love
Why were you born, just to play with me
To freak out or to be beautiful, my dear?
Load your head, blow it up, feeling good, baby
Load your head, blow it up, feeling good, baby (ah!)
Well, my room is so cold, you know you don't have to go, my babe
And if you warm it up right, I'm gonna love you tonight, my love
Well, I'm glad that we came, I hope you're feeling the same
Who scared you and why were you born?
Please stay
I see a rider coming down the road
Got a burden, carrying a heavy load
One sack of silver and one bag of gold
(Thank you very much, gentlemen.)
