00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Yes, I am, I'm just a love man.
2
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Let me tell you somethin'
3
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:28,000
Which one of you, girls, want me to hold you?
4
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,000
Which one of you, girls, want me to kiss you?
5
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:34,000
Which one of you, girls, want me to take you out?
6
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:38,000
Go on, I got you, gonna knock you all night, 'cause, baby, I'm a love man...
7
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
This is Jim Ladd of KLOS.
8
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,000
We interrupt this broadcast to bring you a special bulletin.
9
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:46,000
Rock music fans all over the world are in mourning today.
10
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:49,000
Jim Morrison, lead singer of The Doors
11
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:52,000
was found dead in his Paris apartment this morning.
12
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:55,000
French authorities attribute the cause of death to a heart attack.
13
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:59,000
Morrison was 27 years old.
14
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Goodbye, Jim.
15
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:58,000
We'll miss you...
16
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Jim Morrison was buried today in Pere Lachaise cemetery in Paris.
17
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
The coffin was sealed,
18
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,000
and only his girlfriend, Pamela Courson
19
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:10,000
and The Doors' manager were in attendance.
20
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:14,000
With his passing, the future of The Doors remains uncertain.
21
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:17,000
I'm Jim Ladd on 95.5 KLOS,
22
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
and I'll be here all night
23
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:49,000
as we pay tribute to one of America's most original and influential...
24
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:57,000
The sixties begin with a shot.
25
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:07,000
The civil rights movement intensifies.
26
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:11,000
The war in Vietnam gets bigger and bloodier.
27
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
"President Johnson, meanwhile, let it be known
28
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:22,000
that the FBI is closely watching all anti-war activities".
29
00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:25,000
The youth movement catches fire,
30
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,000
making everyone over 30 a cultural enemy.
31
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:32,000
The days of Ricky Nelson and "Leave It To Beaver" are over.
32
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
"I have nothing against kissing.
33
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
But these friends of yours, Penny,
34
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:44,000
They want to kiss you all night!"
35
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:46,000
The establishment resists,
36
00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:51,000
but a genuine counter-culture is growing.
37
00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:56,000
For some, psychedelics like LSD open the doors of perception.
38
00:05:56,000 --> 00:05:57,000
The Gate Is Straight,
39
00:05:57,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Deep And Wide,
40
00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,000
Break On Through To The Other Side...
41
00:05:59,000 --> 00:06:06,000
A massive cultural earthquake is splitting the country wide open.
42
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:10,000
And out of the crack steps a band called The Doors.
43
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:13,000

44
00:06:13,000 --> 00:06:16,000

00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:37,000
- Name?- Uh... Jim.
53
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:45,000
- Occupation? - Um...
54
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:50,000
Jim Morrison is the oldest son of a decorated navy officer.
55
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:57,000
At 16, he's already reading Nietzsche, Rimbaud and William Blake.
56
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,000
He's also obsessed with Elvis Presley.
57
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:07,000
One teacher sends home a note scolding him as "self-centered".
58
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:12,000
He goes to three colleges before attending the film school at UCLA.
59
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:14,000
One of his friends there is Ray Manzarek,
60
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:17,000
who's also playing keyboards in his brother's surf band,
61
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Rick and The Ravens.
62
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:22,000
Ray started with classical piano,
63
00:07:22,000 --> 00:07:28,000
but quickly turned on to jazz and Chicago blues.
64
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:31,000
Jim, too, had an affinity for the blues.
65
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
They shared a common interest in cinema.
66
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:37,000
They were also dropping acid several times a month.
67
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:40,000
Jim makes one film at UCLA.
68
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
It earns him a D.
69
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
He skips his graduatio
70
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:51,000
and tells Ray he's moving to New York City.
71
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:53,000
But a few months later,
72
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:56,000
Ray runs into Jim at the beach in Venice.
73
00:07:56,000 --> 00:07:57,000
He's been living on someone's roof
74
00:07:57,000 --> 00:08:01,000
and writing songs for a rock concert he hears in his head.
75
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:03,000
Ray asks him to sing one.
76
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Jim hesitates.
77
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:08,000
Then he sings Moonlight Drive.
78
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:12,000
Let's Swim To The Moon, Uh-Huh,
79
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:14,000
Let's Climb Through The Tide...
80
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Ray is impressed by the poetry of his lyrics.
81
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:21,000
They decide to start a band.
82
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:25,000
Jim's already chosen a name from a poem by William Blake.
83
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:28,000
"If the doors of perception were cleansed,
84
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,000
everything would appear to man as it is:
85
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:40,000
infinite".
86
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:45,000
Jim moves in with Ray and his girlfriend, Dorothy Fujikawa.
87
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
Ray invites someone from his meditation class
88
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
to come jam with them.
89
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
John Densmore brings his friend, Robby Krieger.
90
00:08:54,000 --> 00:08:57,000
Jim loves his bottleneck slide so much,
91
00:08:57,000 --> 00:09:03,000
he wants to use it on every song.
92
00:09:03,000 --> 00:09:07,000
Robby and John like his lyrics more than his voice,
93
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
but something about their lead singer pulls them in.
94
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:18,000
In the summer of 1965, The Doors are born.
95
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,000
Jim had never sung before.
96
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:27,000
Robby had only been playing electric guitar for 6 months.
97
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:33,000
His original training was on acoustic - Spanish flamenco.
98
00:09:33,000 --> 00:09:35,000
He'd played in one rock band with Densmore,
99
00:09:35,000 --> 00:09:40,000
when they were both in high school.
100
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
John had morphed from a high school marching band
101
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:52,000
to a certified jazz freak into Coltrane and Mingus.
102
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:53,000
Ray rents a house,
103
00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:59,000
and the band rehearses there all summer.
104
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,000
Jim says they need more songs
105
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,000
and tells everyone to write one over the weekend.
106
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:08,000
Only Robby does his homework.
107
00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:21,000
The first song he writes is called Light My Fire.
108
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:25,000
Know That It Will Be Untrue,
109
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:29,000
Know That I Would Be A Liar
110
00:10:29,000 --> 00:10:33,000
If I Was To Say To You
111
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
Girl, We Couldn't Get Much Higher.
112
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:45,000
Come On, Baby, Light My Fire.
113
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
Try To Set The Night On Fire.
114
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:54,000
Time To Hesitate Is Through,
115
00:10:54,000 --> 00:10:58,000
No Time To Wallow In The Mire.
116
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:02,000
Try Now, We Can Only Lose
117
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,000
And Our Love Become A Funeral Pyre.
118
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:12,000
Come On, Baby, Light My Fire.
119
00:11:12,000 --> 00:11:19,000
The Doors get their first gig at a dive in LA called The London Fog.
120
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:23,000
Still unsure of himself, Jim turns his back to the audience,
121
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:30,000
facing the band, like he does in rehearsal.
122
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:34,000
The talent booker for The Whisky A Go Go comes in one night.
123
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:35,000
She falls for Morrison
124
00:11:35,000 --> 00:11:37,000
and convinces her boss to hire The Doors
125
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
as The Whisky's house band.
126
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:43,000
In late 1966, they're opening for The Turtles,
127
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:48,000
Buffalo Springfield and Van Morrison.
128
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:54,000
Word spreads, especially about the lead singer.
129
00:11:54,000 --> 00:11:57,000
Jack Holzman, founder of Elektra Records,
130
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:03,000
is so impressed, he offers them a 3-album deal.
131
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:07,000
The next night, Jim doesn't show up at The Whisky.
132
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:10,000
John and Ray head over to the motel he's crashing at
133
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:16,000
and find him out of his mind on acid.
134
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
When they get him back to The Whisky,
135
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:19,000
Jim wants to play The End,
136
00:12:19,000 --> 00:12:24,000
a song he wrote about breaking up with his high-school girlfriend.
137
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:27,000
The Killer Awoke Before Dawn,
138
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:30,000
He Put His Boots On.
139
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:35,000
He Took A Face From The Ancient Gallery And He
140
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:45,000
He Walked On Down The Hallway, Baby!
141
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:48,000
Came To A Door
142
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:56,000
And He Looked Inside.
143
00:12:56,000 --> 00:13:04,000
No one in the band knows where he's going.
144
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,000
Father?
145
00:13:07,000 --> 00:13:11,000
Yes, Son?
146
00:13:11,000 --> 00:13:23,000
I Wanna Kill You.
147
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:27,000
Mother...
148
00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:30,000
I Want To...
149
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Fuck, Fuck, Fuck, Fuck You All Night, Baby!
150
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:40,000
Fuck You, Mama, All Night Long!
151
00:13:40,000 --> 00:13:42,000
You Wait, Mama!
152
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:48,000
Gonna Love You, Baby, All Night, Yeah!
153
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:51,000
The Whisky's owner calls Jim a "sick bastard"
154
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:59,000
and fires them.
155
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:00,000
A few weeks later,
156
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:04,000
The Doors record their first album in five days.
157
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:08,000
Holzman brings in veteran producer Paul Rothchild.
158
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:11,000
The equipment he uses is state-of-the-art -
159
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
a 4-track recorder.
160
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:16,000
He lays down John's drums on one track.
161
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:20,000
Ray's organ and Robby's guitar take up the second.
162
00:14:20,000 --> 00:14:21,000
The third goes to Jim's vocal,
163
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:31,000
leaving the fourth for all overdubs.
164
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,000
Light My Fire and The End are over seven minutes long.
165
00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:39,000
Both are recorded in two takes.
166
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:41,000
At Jim's insistence,
167
00:14:41,000 --> 00:14:45,000
all songs are credited simply to The Doors.
168
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:46,000
To promote the album,
169
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,000
Holzman buys a billboard on The Sunset Strip.
170
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:51,000
No one has done this before.
171
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,000
Break On Through is their first single.
172
00:14:54,000 --> 00:14:58,000
It stalls at number 106.
173
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:02,000
Holzman shifts quickly to Light My Fire.
174
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:07,000
Rothchild cuts the instrumentals, and the song hits the AM airwaves.
175
00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:09,000
In July of 1967,
176
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:16,000
the first song Robby Krieger ever wrote climbs to number one in the country.
177
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:23,000
Ray and Dorothy hear it on their car radio and start screaming.
178
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:29,000
The first royalty checks give The Doors $ 50,000 apiece.
179
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,000
Morrison's family is oblivious
180
00:15:31,000 --> 00:15:36,000
until a friend of his younger brother comes over with the album.
181
00:15:36,000 --> 00:15:40,000
He thought the guy on the cover looked a little like Jim.
182
00:15:40,000 --> 00:15:41,000
The family is further surprised
183
00:15:41,000 --> 00:15:47,000
when they see how Jim has described them in his bio.
184
00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:49,000
Holzman sends The Doors to New York City.
185
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
They're an immediate hit.
186
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:58,000
Andy Warhol becomes infatuated, particularly with Morrison.
187
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
Then, like The Beatles and Rolling Stones before them,
188
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:04,000
they perform live on The Ed Sullivan Show.
189
00:16:04,000 --> 00:16:05,000
- Now The Doors!
190
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,000
Here they are with their newest hit record,
191
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,000
Light My Fire!
192
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:14,000
Time To Hesitate Is Through,
193
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:18,000
No Time To Wallow In The Mire.
194
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:22,000
Try Now, We Can Only Lose
195
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,000
And Our Live Become A Funeral Pyre.
196
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:34,000
Come On, Baby, Light My Fire.
197
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:39,000
Try To Set The Night On... Fire!
198
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Sullivan asks The Doors to take out the word "higher"
199
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
because of its drug implications.
200
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,000
They agree.
201
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:48,000
During the performance,
202
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:51,000
Jim sings the song exactly as written.
203
00:16:51,000 --> 00:16:54,000
Girl, We Couldn't Get Much Higher.
204
00:16:54,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Come On, Baby, Light My Fire.
205
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Try To Set The Night On Fire!
206
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:19,000
Try To Set The Night On... Fire!
207
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:20,000
It's been barely a year
208
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:24,000
since their shy young singer couldn't even face his audience.
209
00:17:24,000 --> 00:17:56,000
Now, the metamorphosis is complete.
210
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:00,000
- Need A Match?
211
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:04,000
"As I look back over my life,
212
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000
I'm struck by the postcards,
213
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:12,000
ruined snapshots,
214
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:29,000
faded posters of a time I can't recall".
215
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:32,000
French officials deny any evidence of drug overdose,
216
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:35,000
but a cloud of mystery hangs over Morrison's death.
217
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:39,000
Some claim he's still alive and that his death was just a hoax,
218
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:42,000
perhaps planned by Morrison himself.
219
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Numerous sightings of the singer have already been reported.
220
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:50,000
No, the mood I get from most of itNis a kind of a heavy...
221
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:58,000
Kind of a sort of gloomy feeling, you know.
222
00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,000
Like of someone not quite at home
223
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:05,000
Or, you know, or not quite... Not quite relaxed, and...
224
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:07,000
You know, aware of a lot of things
225
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:12,000
but not quite sure about anything, you know?
226
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,000
People Are Strange
227
00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:16,000
When You're A Stranger.
228
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:18,000
Faces Look Ugly
229
00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,000
When You're Alone.
230
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:22,000
Women Seem Wicked
231
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:24,000
When You're Unwanted.
232
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,000
Streets Are Uneven
233
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,000
When You're Down.
234
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,000
When You're Strange,
235
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:34,000
Faces Come Out Of The Rain.
236
00:19:34,000 --> 00:19:37,000
When You're Strange,
237
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:40,000
No One Remembers Your Name
238
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:44,000
When You're Strange,
239
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:52,000
When You're... Strange.
240
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:56,000
The fact is, the music is strange.
241
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,000
It is music for the different, the uninvited.
242
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:11,000
It carries the listener into the shadowy realm of dream.
243
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:15,000
Part of the strangeness comes from their lack of a bass player.
244
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:18,000
This leaves Densmore to hold the beat.
245
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:28,000
But his jazz sensibility keeps it both tight and unpredictable.
246
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Krieger's flamenco influences bring another layer of mystery.
247
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:33,000
He never uses a pick,
248
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:39,000
playing rhythm and lead with his fingernails.
249
00:20:39,000 --> 00:20:41,000
But the sound needs a bottom.
250
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
Manzarek discovers an electric piano bass
251
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:47,000
and plays the bass line with his left hand.
252
00:20:47,000 --> 00:21:06,000
He uses his right for chords and his Bach-tinged blues runs.
253
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:08,000
The organ carries a hint of the carnival -
254
00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:12,000
both childlike and darkly disturbing.
255
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:15,000
It's no accident their second album, Strange Days,
256
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:49,000
features circus performers on its cover.
257
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:52,000
But if the band has a surreal fairground air,
258
00:21:52,000 --> 00:22:05,000
it is Morrison who is the frenzied trapeze artist.
259
00:22:05,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Love Me Two Times, Baby, Love Me Twice Today.
260
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:19,000
Love Me Two Times, Girl, I'm Goin' Away.
261
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:22,000
Love Me Two Times, Girl,
262
00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:28,000
One For Tomorrow, One Just For Today.
263
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Love Me Two Times, I'm Goin' Away.
264
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:38,000
To Ray, he's like an ancient shaman,
265
00:22:38,000 --> 00:22:43,000
leading his followers into worlds they'd never dare enter alone.
266
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:46,000
I Could Not Speak.
267
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:50,000
Love Me One Time,
268
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:54,000
Yeah, My Knees Got Weak.
269
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:56,000
Love Me Two Times, Girl,
270
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:02,000
Last Me All Through The Week.
271
00:23:02,000 --> 00:23:20,000
Love Me Two Times, I'm Goin' Away.
272
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,000
Morrison is both innocent and profane.
273
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:26,000
He's a rock and roll poet,
274
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:31,000
dangerous and highly intelligent.
275
00:23:31,000 --> 00:24:14,000
No one has had this exact combination before.
276
00:24:14,000 --> 00:24:17,000
No matter how high he flies,
277
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:18,000
his bandmates are always there
278
00:24:18,000 --> 00:25:12,000
to catch him and guide him back to earth.
279
00:25:12,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Their first hit of fame is sudden and intense.
280
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:19,000
- I even like them more than The Beatles!
281
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:26,000
- The Doors, they are so much better!
282
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,000
- Do you think you're a political group?
283
00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,000
- We're, um...
284
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:38,000
Foremost, we're, um... Musicians and writers.
285
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:41,000
- No, you can't take a lit cigarette. Sorry.
286
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:43,000
- I'll see how I feel after a beer.
287
00:25:43,000 --> 00:25:45,000
- You want people to like you?
288
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:48,000
- Well, I'd like them to listen.
289
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:58,000
I'd like them to... Give the music a chance, and...
290
00:25:58,000 --> 00:26:05,000
Just to listen.
291
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:07,000
- The music can't help
292
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,000
but reflecting things that are happening around you.
293
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:13,000
- I think for your own sake,
294
00:26:13,000 --> 00:26:15,000
while all the police are out there containing the kids,
295
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:19,000
you ought to get in the car and split. I really do.
296
00:26:19,000 --> 00:26:21,000
Unless he wants to get...
297
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:25,000
Yeah, I mean, it's up to him.
298
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,000
It's up to him, unless he wants to...
299
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Have them grab at his body.
300
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,000
- If he doesn't want it, I'll take it.
301
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:44,000
- And Bill and Todd will take the leftovers.
302
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:57,000
- Aloha!
303
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:00,000
- I've noticed that when people are joking,
304
00:27:00,000 --> 00:27:02,000
they're usually dead serious.
305
00:27:02,000 --> 00:27:05,000
And when they're dead serious, it's usually pretty funny.
306
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:08,000
- You should say that at a concert.
307
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
- Is your band like The Monkees?
308
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:12,000
- The Monkees?
309
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:19,000
- I said like The Monkees.
310
00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:22,000
- All of our music is really so
311
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:28,000
symbolic rather than direct to the point, you know...
312
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:31,000
- Everybody's always talking about
313
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:38,000
rock and roll and jazz finally blending, you know...
314
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:41,000
And I don't think that can really happen, but...
315
00:27:41,000 --> 00:27:47,000
If it's supposed to, I think we're it.
316
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:51,000
- OK, this time, can you look to me, please?
317
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:54,000
- I want to touch The Doors!
318
00:27:54,000 --> 00:27:57,000
- Hey, quit knocking on the door. Hey!
319
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
- Can you get Jim out?
320
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Come on, just take one picture.
321
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:04,000
- We paid to be here!
322
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:07,000
Most of the attention goes to Jim.
323
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:10,000
If it bothers Robby, Ray or John,
324
00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:13,000
they don't outwardly show it.
325
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:18,000
But Jim relishes the attention.
326
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:29,000
He seems to have been born instantly ready for fame.
327
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:32,000
Everything he does seems either brilliant
328
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:37,000
or brilliantly calculated for effect.
329
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:41,000
- I think, you know, these days,
330
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:46,000
especially in The States, you have to be
331
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:48,000
a politician or an assassin
332
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:54,000
or something to really be a superstar.
333
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:56,000
Without a personal manager or publicist,
334
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,000
Jim takes control of his own image.
335
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:01,000
He picks out all his clothes,
336
00:29:01,000 --> 00:29:03,000
from the conch belts to the leather pants
337
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:14,000
seemingly designed to accentuate his crotch.
338
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:18,000
- Hi! Hi, Jim!
339
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:22,000
- We're gotta go to the... dressing room, right?
340
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:23,000
- All right, man.
341
00:29:23,000 --> 00:29:28,000
- OK, we're going to go to the dressing room now.
342
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,000
- Wait a while, don't get out yet.
343
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:34,000
He understood exactly how to make it all work for him,
344
00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:36,000
and perhaps to protect himself,
345
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:46,000
he made it seem like he couldn't care less.
346
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,000
In 1968, The Who opened for The Doors at The Singer Bowl on Long Island.
347
00:29:51,000 --> 00:30:11,000
- Don't go in, we need you.
348
00:30:11,000 --> 00:30:12,000
- How much are these?
349
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
- $ 1.
350
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:20,000
- Can I look at it first to see what I want?
351
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:24,000
I've got one.
352
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:26,000
How much are those?
353
00:30:26,000 --> 00:30:28,000
- $ 1. - $ 1?
354
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:31,000
It's hard to tell if he's simply mingling with his fans
355
00:30:31,000 --> 00:30:34,000
or if he's drawing something crucial from them,
356
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000
as if he needs their attention to survive.
357
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
- Make sure that The Doors know
358
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:45,000
that New York collectively welcomes them at The Singer Bowl.
359
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:58,000
The Doors! The Doors!
360
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:01,000
The Singer Bowl crowd is already worked up.
361
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,000
Morrison stokes them further.
362
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:08,000
No One Here Gets Out Alive Now.
363
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000
You Get Yours, Mama, I'll Get Mine.
364
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
Gonna Make It, Baby... Come On!
365
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Someone throws a chair.
366
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,000
- Everybody feel all right?
367
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:37,000
- The show is over, kids, so go on home.
368
00:31:37,000 --> 00:31:45,000
Yes, please, go home.
369
00:31:45,000 --> 00:31:50,000
- Give him a hand and help him if she's too heavy. Stay where you are.
370
00:31:50,000 --> 00:31:54,000
- No, she's...She was just an innocent bystander.
371
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:55,000
- That became a victim.
372
00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:56,000
- And someone whacked her with a chair.
373
00:31:56,000 --> 00:31:59,000
- Why'd they whack her with a chair? - I don't know.
374
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,000
- Are you sure it was a chair? - I don't know what it was.
375
00:32:01,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Someone hit me, I fell, and I wound up here.
376
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:04,000
- Where did they get a chair? There weren't any chairs.
377
00:32:04,000 --> 00:32:07,000
- I don't know.
378
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:12,000
Earlier in the concert, Jeff Silverman is taking pictures in the front row.
379
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:17,000
He sees Jim look directly at a young girl and grab his crotch.
380
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:19,000
Her boyfriend picks up a chair.
381
00:32:19,000 --> 00:32:23,000
According to Silverman, it was the first chair to be thrown.
382
00:32:23,000 --> 00:32:30,000
- It's already coagulating. I think you're going to be OK.
383
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:42,000
I am The Lizard King! I can do anything!
384
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:45,000
Morrison's poem, The Celebration Of The Lizard,
385
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:49,000
was to take up one whole side of The Doors' next album,
386
00:32:49,000 --> 00:32:54,000
but Paul Rothchild chooses not to include it.
387
00:32:54,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Jim's behavior is becoming unpredictable,
388
00:32:57,000 --> 00:32:59,000
and Rothchild is under pressure to get another record out
389
00:32:59,000 --> 00:33:02,000
while the band is hot.
390
00:33:02,000 --> 00:33:08,000
He fills out the side with unused songs from their first album.
391
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:14,000
Despite the raw intensity of new songs like Five To One and Unknown Soldier
392
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:18,000
critics dismiss the record.
393
00:33:18,000 --> 00:33:20,000
But fans judge it differently.
394
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:40,000
Both the album and Morrison's Hello, I Love You hit number one.
395
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,000
- Something like that.
396
00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:45,000
- Don't overblow, Jim. You got a long way to go.
397
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,000
- Why not?
398
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:56,000
In 1968, The Doors begin recording The Soft Parade.
399
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:03,000
Paul Rothchild produces, with Bruce Botnick as his engineer.
400
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:09,000
Jim has begun coming into the studio drunk or high.
401
00:34:09,000 --> 00:34:12,000
Robby writes half the songs on Soft Parade,
402
00:34:12,000 --> 00:34:22,000
and for the first time he and Jim separate their writing credits.
403
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:24,000
- Well, you know what Robby's trying to do, that sound.
404
00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:28,000
- Yeah, I know that.
405
00:34:28,000 --> 00:34:30,000
- Stupidest ending I've ever heard on any song.
406
00:34:30,000 --> 00:34:31,000
- What's stupid, the ending?
407
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:36,000
- Yeah. Yeah, just...
408
00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:37,000
- How's that again?
409
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:46,000
- Robby does two, John one, I do two, and then you come in.
410
00:34:46,000 --> 00:35:08,000
- That sounds good, Robby. Here we go. One time, everybody, please.
411
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:13,000
Wild Child Full Of Grace,
412
00:35:13,000 --> 00:35:19,000
Saver Of The Human Race
413
00:35:19,000 --> 00:35:35,000
Your Cool Face...
414
00:35:35,000 --> 00:35:41,000
Natural Child, Terrible Child
415
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:46,000
Not Your Mother's Or YourNFather's Child, You're
416
00:35:46,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Our Child Screaming Wild...
417
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:32,000
Do you know the warm progress under the stars?
418
00:36:32,000 --> 00:36:34,000
Do you know we exist?
419
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:37,000
Have you forgotten the keys to the kingdom?
420
00:36:37,000 --> 00:36:55,000
Have you been born yet, and are you alive?
421
00:36:55,000 --> 00:37:02,000
The youth movement keeps growing.
422
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,000
- So like I was telling you, honey,
423
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:06,000
before these cameramen came along,
424
00:37:06,000 --> 00:37:11,000
death in our time...
425
00:37:11,000 --> 00:37:12,000
- Yes, yes?
426
00:37:12,000 --> 00:37:16,000
- Oh, man, I don't know.
427
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:22,000
And by 1968, the country was radically changed.
428
00:37:22,000 --> 00:37:24,000
- And I pledge, if you give me your help,
429
00:37:24,000 --> 00:37:26,000
if you give me your hand,
430
00:37:26,000 --> 00:37:27,000
that I will work with you,
431
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:29,000
and we will have a new America!
432
00:37:29,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Thank you very much!
433
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:41,000
Ray originally thought LSD was the key to enlightenment.
434
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:48,000
But a series of bad trips sends him in a different direction.
435
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:52,000
He turned to meditation, along with Robby and John,
436
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:57,000
attempting to find his bliss elsewhere.
437
00:37:57,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Morrison keeps tripping for a while...
438
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:22,000
When The Music's Over.
439
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:31,000
When The Music's Over, Yeah-Yeah.
440
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
When The Music's Over,
441
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Turn Out The Light,
442
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:44,000
Turn Out The Light...
443
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:49,000
Well, The Music Is Your Special Friend.
444
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:54,000
Dance On Fire As It Intends.
445
00:38:54,000 --> 00:39:02,000
Music Is Your Only Friend
446
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:11,000
Until The End,
447
00:39:11,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Until The... End!
448
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:06,000
Jim still has doubts about his voice.
449
00:40:06,000 --> 00:40:11,000
He's had no musicial training and he can't read a note.
450
00:40:11,000 --> 00:40:14,000
Sinatra has replaced Elvis as his favorite singer.
451
00:40:14,000 --> 00:40:18,000
He describes his own voice as a scream or "a sick croon".
452
00:40:18,000 --> 00:40:28,000
Cancel My Subscription To The Resurrection,
453
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Send My Credentials To The House Of Detention.
454
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
I've Got Some Friends Inside...
455
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:44,000
Morrison takes a hard turn from psychedelics to booze.
456
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Soft Parade takes 11 months to record.
457
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:53,000
This is partly due to Rothchild's insistence on perfection.
458
00:40:53,000 --> 00:41:03,000
He makes the band do hundreds of takes.
459
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:11,000
But no one talks about the elephant in the room.
460
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Densmore develops headaches and breaks out in rashes from the tension.
461
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:26,000
One day, John walks out of the studio, saying he can't take it anymore.
462
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:28,000
The next morning, he shows up,
463
00:41:28,000 --> 00:41:32,000
and the band continues recording without a word.
464
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:39,000
Gonna Win, Yeah, We're Takin' Over. Come On!
465
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:47,000
Sometimes the drinking helps Morrison.
466
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:54,000
Sometimes it doesn't.
467
00:41:54,000 --> 00:42:16,000
The band becomes adept at keeping him alive onstage.
468
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:22,000
His first onstage arrest had come early, in New Haven, Connecticut.
469
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:27,000
Before the concert, Jim is making out with a girl in a shower stall backstage.
470
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:29,000
A cop walks in on them.
471
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:33,000
Not recognizing Jim, he orders them out.
472
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:35,000
Jim tells him to go fuck himself.
473
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:39,000
The cop maces him.
474
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:42,000
Minutes before the show, Jim is in agony.
475
00:42:42,000 --> 00:42:46,000
His eyes are still bloodshot and streaming with tears.
476
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,000
In the middle of the first song,
477
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:56,000
he stops and tells the audience what's just happened to him.
478
00:42:56,000 --> 00:42:57,000
Jim keeps calling the cop
479
00:42:57,000 --> 00:43:05,000
"A little blue man in a little blue suit with a little blue cap".
480
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:06,000
When the police move in,
481
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Jim offers them a chance to "say their thing".
482
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,000
They choose not to.
483
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:20,000
Jim is arrested for breach of peace and immoral exhibition.
484
00:43:20,000 --> 00:43:26,000
Two cops punch him in the face and kick him when he falls.
485
00:43:26,000 --> 00:43:37,000
This starts the reputation of The Doors as a dirty and dangerous band.
486
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:41,000
It also marks a change between The Doors and their audience.
487
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:48,000
They're coming now to watch Morrison go crazy.
488
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
There is a growing sense
489
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:53,000
that the fans are not there to hear the music,
490
00:43:53,000 --> 00:44:00,000
but to witness a spectacle.
491
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:02,000
It is becoming harder and harder
492
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:10,000
to distinguish between himself and the person who appears onstage.
493
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:19,000
But the train keeps picking up speed, and no one wants off.
494
00:44:19,000 --> 00:44:26,000
In April 1968, The Village Voice chooses Morrison as vocalist of the year.
495
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:28,000
The Doors win best band,
496
00:44:28,000 --> 00:44:33,000
and Ray Manzarek is best musician after Eric Clapton and Ravi Shankar.
497
00:44:33,000 --> 00:44:39,000
The Soft Parade goes gold, making 4 gold albums in a row.
498
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:40,000
Touch Me, written by Krieger,
499
00:44:40,000 --> 00:44:44,000
gives the band their third top-10 single.
500
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,000
Come On, Come On, Come On, Come On, Now,
501
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:48,000
Touch Me, Baby.
502
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:54,000
Can't You See That I Am Not Afraid?
503
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:58,000
What Was That Promise That You Made?
504
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Why Won't You Tell Me What She Said?
505
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:07,000
What Was That Promise That You Made?
506
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:16,000
I'm Gonna Love You Till The Heaven Stop The Rain.
507
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:24,000
I'm Gonna Love You Till The Stars Fall From The Sky...
508
00:45:24,000 --> 00:45:26,000
By late December 1968
509
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:34,000
The Doors are being hailed as America's Rolling Stones.
510
00:45:34,000 --> 00:45:42,000
And just at that moment, Jim announces he's quitting.
511
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:45,000
The band is stunned.
512
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Without Jim, there is no Doors.
513
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:53,000
- We need you to stay in the game.
514
00:45:53,000 --> 00:46:16,000
- Well, the thing is, I don't think I like the game.
515
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
His girlfriend, Pam Courson,
516
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,000
encourages him to forget music and concentrate on his poetry.
517
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:26,000
Jim's already self-published two notebooks of his poems,
518
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:29,000
both dedicated to her.
519
00:46:29,000 --> 00:46:34,000
His poetry is symbolic and pure.
520
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:38,000
It frees him from the requirements of rock stardom.
521
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:40,000
- Yeah, posing for a picture, can you imagine?
522
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:45,000
You know, and really looking in the camera and really posing?
523
00:46:45,000 --> 00:46:49,000
It's insane! I must have been out of my mind!
524
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:56,000
But getting out is not as easy as it seems.
525
00:46:56,000 --> 00:47:02,000
Ray convinces him to give it 6 more months.
526
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,000
But as his drinking increases,
527
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Ray sees it give birth to Morrison's alter ego,
528
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:10,000
whom he names Jimbo.
529
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:14,000
Everyone dreads his appearance.
530
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:18,000
Out of concern for his health and the future of the band,
531
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:22,000
they finally confront him directly.
532
00:47:22,000 --> 00:47:26,000
Jim listens politely.
533
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,000
He stays sober for about a week.
534
00:47:31,000 --> 00:48:06,000
Then Jimbo returns.
535
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:09,000
The band hires a series of professional drinkers
536
00:48:09,000 --> 00:48:11,000
to keep tabs on Morrison.
537
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
They can't keep up with him.
538
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:16,000
- You got any groovy possy in this joint?
539
00:48:16,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Any LSD? Any LSD?
540
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,000
At a party in LA, he ends up with his face in Janis Joplin's lap.
541
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:28,000
She breaks down in tears, and then cracks a whiskey bottle over his head.
542
00:48:28,000 --> 00:48:33,000
Pam gets tired of Jim's drunken infidelities.
543
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:36,000
She convinces him to see a psychiatrist.
544
00:48:36,000 --> 00:48:40,000
Jim goes to one session.
545
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,000
He's moving further away from his family.
546
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,000
When his mother comes to watch The Doors in Washington, DC,
547
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:51,000
Jim does not see her.
548
00:48:51,000 --> 00:48:54,000
He hasn't spoken to his father since 1966,
549
00:48:54,000 --> 00:48:56,000
when he got a letter from him
550
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,000
with the advice "to give up any idea of singing
551
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:01,000
or any connection with a musical group
552
00:49:01,000 --> 00:49:08,000
because of what I consider a complete lack of talent in this direction".
553
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
At the height of his son's fame,
554
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:11,000
Admiral Morrison is commanding
555
00:49:11,000 --> 00:49:19,000
a division of aircraft carriers off the coast of Vietnam.
556
00:49:19,000 --> 00:49:27,000
In his world, survival depends on obedience.
557
00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:32,000
To Jim, obedience is suicide.
558
00:49:32,000 --> 00:49:37,000
- Would anybody like to see my genitals?
559
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:39,000
I don't think there should be a president, man.
560
00:49:39,000 --> 00:49:42,000
I think it should be a total democracy!
561
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,000
But I'll tell you this, man, I'll tell you this.
562
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000
I don't know what's going to happen, man,
563
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:52,000
but I want to have my kicks before the whole shit house goes up in flames.
564
00:49:52,000 --> 00:49:57,000
All Right? All Right!
565
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:10,000
In September 1968, The Doors tour Europe.
566
00:50:10,000 --> 00:50:15,000
They're a big hit, even after Jim swallows a chunk of hash in Amsterdam
567
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:19,000
and collapses unconscious on stage.
568
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:27,000
The band plays the gig without him, with Ray doing all the singing.
569
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:30,000
Afterwards, Jim stays in London with Pam,
570
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:34,000
hanging out with poet Michael McClure.
571
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:39,000
The three of them go off on a drinking binge.
572
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:41,000
When Jim resurfaces,
573
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,000
he discovers The Doors have licensed Light My Fire
574
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:50,000
for use in a car commercial.
575
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:54,000
Robby, Ray and John explain they've tried to find him for days.
576
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:59,000
They thought the commercial was unique and felt Jim would agree.
577
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:00,000
But Jim does not agree.
578
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:07,000
The car commercial and $ 75,000 evaporate.
579
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
The alcohol takes a personal toll.
580
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
In the beginning, as Ray pulls the band together,
581
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:16,000
he and Jim are very close.
582
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:18,000
Jim had always welcomed Robby,
583
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:26,000
offering advice like giving each lyric a double meaning.
584
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:34,000
His drinking drives a wedge between them.
585
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:35,000
John and Jim used to drive around,
586
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:40,000
fantasizing about being in a famous rock and roll band.
587
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,000
The alcohol pushes them apart as well.
588
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:53,000
They all see Jim struggle, but have no idea how to help him.
589
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:56,000
And now, The Doors start playing larger arenas.
590
00:51:56,000 --> 00:52:01,000
The first is The Hollywood Bowl in 1968.
591
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:05,000
Jim seems a little off.
592
00:52:05,000 --> 00:52:11,000
John thinks he's dropped acid right before the show.
593
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:14,000
Robby feels Jim was distracted by Mick Jagger
594
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:20,000
sitting in the front row with Pam on his lap.
595
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:24,000
They sell out Madison Square Garden and The LA Forum,
596
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:27,000
and in early 1969, their manager, Bill Siddons,
597
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:31,000
books their first extensive US tour.
598
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:34,000
They'll hit 19 cities.
599
00:52:34,000 --> 00:52:41,000
Their first gig is in Miami.
600
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:45,000
The band arrives early, minus Morrison.
601
00:52:45,000 --> 00:52:49,000
He's had a fight with Pam and missed his plane.
602
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:52,000
He misses another flight hanging out in the airport bar
603
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:54,000
and shows up 20 minutes late.
604
00:52:54,000 --> 00:52:57,000
- Ladies and gentlemen, The Doors!
605
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,000
The mood inside the converted airplane hangar is already tense.
606
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:08,000
The promoter has pulled out all the seats so he could sell another 2000 tickets.
607
00:53:08,000 --> 00:53:13,000
As the band takes the stage, Jim seems preoccupied.
608
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:17,000
The week before, The Living Theatre had performed in Los Angeles.
609
00:53:17,000 --> 00:53:20,000
Their manifesto is radically political -
610
00:53:20,000 --> 00:53:25,000
change can only come from a rejection of all rules.
611
00:53:25,000 --> 00:53:28,000
Jim goes to every performance.
612
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:32,000
He once called The Doors "erotic politicians",
613
00:53:32,000 --> 00:53:35,000
but he confesses to the group's director
614
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:38,000
that though he has the ear of a generation,
615
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:42,000
he feels he's never had anything to say.
616
00:53:42,000 --> 00:53:45,000
He chooses this moment to change that.
617
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Yeah! Now listen here!
618
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:55,000
I ain't talking about no revolution!
619
00:53:55,000 --> 00:54:02,000
And I'm not talking about no demonstration!
620
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:05,000
I'm talking about having a good time!
621
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:14,000
I'm talking about love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love.
622
00:54:14,000 --> 00:54:21,000
Grab your fucking friend and love him. Come on!
623
00:54:21,000 --> 00:54:24,000
Hey, listen, I'm lonely.
624
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:30,000
I need some love, you all. Come on!
625
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:35,000
I need some good-time loving, sweetheart.
626
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:37,000
Love me. Come on!
627
00:54:37,000 --> 00:54:40,000
Someone throws a gallon of orange paint at the band.
628
00:54:40,000 --> 00:54:47,000
You're All A Bunch Of Fucking Idiots!
629
00:54:47,000 --> 00:54:50,000
You're All A Bunch Of Slaves,
630
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:55,000
Letting People Tell You What You're Gonna Do!
631
00:54:55,000 --> 00:54:59,000
How Long Are You Gonna Let Them Push You Around?
632
00:54:59,000 --> 00:55:00,000
Maybe You Love It!
633
00:55:00,000 --> 00:55:05,000
Maybe You Love Getting Your Face Stuck In The Shit! Come On!
634
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:09,000
What Are You Gonna Do About It?
635
00:55:09,000 --> 00:55:14,000
There's a rush at the stage.
636
00:55:14,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Now, Listen,
637
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:18,000
Anybody That Wants To Come Up Here And Join Us
638
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:20,000
And Do Some Dancing, Have Some Fun, Just Get On Up Here. Come On!
639
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:24,000
A friend of Jim's walks out and hands him a lamb.
640
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:28,000
I'd Fuck Her, But She's Too Young.
641
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:32,000
A woman pours a bottle of champagne over Morrison.
642
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:36,000
He takes off his wet shirt, urging everyone to join him.
643
00:55:36,000 --> 00:55:41,000
Shirts, pants, bras and underwear sail through the air.
644
00:55:41,000 --> 00:55:44,000
But there's only one song they wanna hear.
645
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:49,000
- Light My Fire! Light My Fire!
646
00:55:49,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Morrison gets angry.
647
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:54,000
"You Came To See Something Else, Didn't You?"
648
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:57,000
"All Right, Here's My Cock!".
649
00:55:57,000 --> 00:56:01,000
Now, we're not going to leave until we all get our rocks off.
650
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:03,000
Ray yells out for someone to stop him.
651
00:56:03,000 --> 00:56:06,000
- Go on, someone's going to get hurt.
652
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:11,000
The stage starts to collapse.
653
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:14,000
Robby and John jump off.
654
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Manzarek keeps playing.
655
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Jim is thrown into the audience by a security guard.
656
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:35,000
Less than an hour after it started, the concert is over.
657
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:46,000
The Doors play fragments of only 4 songs.
658
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:51,000
The next day, the entire band flies to Jamaica for a vacation.
659
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:58,000
Unknown to them, something strange is happening back in Miami.
660
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:02,000
- The Doors are out to make their own scene.
661
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:04,000
It was a bad scene, and...
662
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:06,000
Like I say, it was completely unwarranted,
663
00:57:06,000 --> 00:57:08,000
uncalled for, on all parts.
664
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,000
It didn't seem like actual entertainment
665
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,000
that we've expected to see.
666
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:16,000
Seemed like very many people were under the influence of drugs.
667
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:19,000
We have to do something about this. This is real disgusting.
668
00:57:19,000 --> 00:57:21,000
My children, when I grow up and I have children,
669
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:24,000
do I want them in an environment like this?
670
00:57:24,000 --> 00:57:28,000
I mean, is this progress, or are we decaying in a way?
671
00:57:28,000 --> 00:57:32,000
We have taken out two warrants for Jim Morrison.
672
00:57:32,000 --> 00:57:36,000
One of them is for indecent exposure.
673
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,000
The other is for the use of obscene languages
674
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:43,000
during his performance at Dinner Key Saturday night.
675
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:45,000
We have been delayed on issuing these warrants
676
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,000
because we were waiting, hoping to get pictures
677
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:51,000
that were taken during the performance.
678
00:57:51,000 --> 00:57:54,000
Jim's hit with one felony and three misdemeanors,
679
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:58,000
but it's the felony charge that is the most disturbing.
680
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,000
It claims that Jim did lewdly and lasciviously
681
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:05,000
"expose his penis, place his hands upon his penis and shake it,
682
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:08,000
and did simulate the acts of masturbation upon himself
683
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,000
and oral copulation upon another".
684
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:13,000
Although many pictures were taken during the concert,
685
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:16,000
none show Morrison exposing himself.
686
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000
But for proof of oral copulation,
687
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,000
the prosecution offers this photo as evidence.
688
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:28,000
The charges take The Doors by surprise.
689
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:31,000
Over a hundred cops had been at the concert.
690
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:34,000
None had attempted to stop Morrison.
691
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:38,000
To John, the only thing they were guilty of was a lousy show.
692
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:43,000
- I especially thank my fellow citizens who join me...
693
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:45,000
But a wave of conservatism is sweeping the country.
694
00:58:45,000 --> 00:58:48,000
- For over five months, our community has been subjected...
695
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:52,000
Decency rallies are held, specifically targeting The Doors.
696
00:58:52,000 --> 00:58:58,000
- The people of Dade County have said "Enough, enough, enough!".
697
00:58:58,000 --> 00:59:00,000
Even the rock and roll press turns against them.
698
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:05,000
...to break its contract and cancel two concerts of The Doors.
699
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,000
Radio stations stop playing The Doors' music.
700
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,000
...performances would be obnoxious.
701
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:13,000
And one by one, every remaining city
702
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:19,000
on The Doors' first major tour gets canceled.
703
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Finally, on April 4 of 1969 Jim Morrison surrenders to the FBI.
704
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:30,000
The trial starts in August.
705
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:33,000
Ray, Robby and John testify in Jim's defense.
706
00:59:33,000 --> 00:59:37,000
All of them deny seeing Jim expose himself.
707
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:41,000
- Jim, you're facing 3 1/2 years in state prison for the Miami incident.
708
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:44,000
The scope of this trial goes way beyond rock and roll.
709
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:46,000
It's really about the first amendment.
710
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:49,000
- What we're testing down there is the...
711
00:59:49,000 --> 00:59:53,000
Issue of artistic freedom of expression.
712
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:58,000
But the prosecutor, Terrence McWilliams, seems preoccupied with sex.
713
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:01,000
He keeps returning to the oral copulation charge.
714
01:00:01,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Jim explains he was down on his knees
715
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:08,000
simply to admire Robby's intricate finger work.
716
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,000
McWilliams scoffs, saying Jim must have seen Robby
717
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:14,000
perform this solo hundreds of times.
718
01:00:14,000 --> 01:00:19,000
Jim replies, "Well, Robby gets better and better all the time".
719
01:00:19,000 --> 01:00:24,000
Although a comedy of errors, trial is no joke.
720
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:27,000
On October 30 of 1969,
721
01:00:27,000 --> 01:00:31,000
Morrison is found guilty of profanity and indecent exposure.
722
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:42,000
- Jim, you have anything to say?
723
01:00:42,000 --> 01:00:44,000
Judge Murray Goodman sentences Jim
724
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:50,000
to four months of hard labor in the Dade county jail.
725
01:00:50,000 --> 01:00:53,000
The Doors' attorney quickly files an appeal,
726
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:55,000
but the uncertainty of its outcome
727
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:59,000
throws The Doors into an uneasy state of limbo.
728
01:00:59,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Morrison takes it the hardest.
729
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:09,000
It's more than just fear of spending time in a deep-southern jail.
730
01:01:09,000 --> 01:02:05,000
It's as if he's suddenly realized he's not invincible.
731
01:02:05,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Like Morrison, the country's innocence is being tested as well.
732
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:15,000
A spasm of violence ripples throughout the decade,
733
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:21,000
and it continues to be reflected in The Doors' music.
734
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Morrison believes violence is an American tradition.
735
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:34,000
Its citizens are addicted to it and enchanted by it.
736
01:02:34,000 --> 01:02:36,000
The Doors had passed on Woodstock,
737
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:40,000
so in 1970, while still waiting on their Miami appeal,
738
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,000
they fly to a small island off the coast of England.
739
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:46,000
The concert at The Isle of Wight
740
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:48,000
is intended to be a fusion of spirit
741
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:51,000
and the world's best rock musicians,
742
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:55,000
but fans feel the concert should be free.
743
01:02:55,000 --> 01:03:13,000
Police and promoters disagree.
744
01:03:13,000 --> 01:03:22,000
This Is The End, Beautiful Friend.
745
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:32,000
This Is The End, My Only Friend.
746
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:39,000
Of Our Elaborate Plans,
747
01:03:39,000 --> 01:03:53,000
Of Everything That Stands.
748
01:03:53,000 --> 01:04:09,000
I'll ever Look Into YourNEyes Again.
749
01:04:09,000 --> 01:04:14,000
Can You Picture What We'll Be?
750
01:04:14,000 --> 01:04:20,000
So Limitless And Free,
751
01:04:20,000 --> 01:04:23,000
Desperately In Need
752
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:28,000
For Some Stranger's Hand
753
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:40,000
In A Desperate Land.
754
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:41,000
My thanks to all of you,
755
01:04:41,000 --> 01:04:42,000
and now it's on to Chicago,
756
01:04:42,000 --> 01:05:06,000
and let's win there! Thank you!
757
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:11,000
Come Ride With Me
758
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:16,000
cross The Sea
759
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:39,000
Endlessly.
760
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:47,000
Woke Up This Morning, Got The Crossroads On My Mind.
761
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:56,000
Well, I Woke Up This Morning, Got The Crossroads On My Mind.
762
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:03,000
Take A Walk With Me, Everything Will Work Out Fine.
763
01:06:03,000 --> 01:06:12,000
Well, I Woke Up This Morning, Got The H-Bomb On My Mind.
764
01:06:12,000 --> 01:06:16,000
Take A Walk With Me And Everything Will Be All Right.
765
01:06:16,000 --> 01:07:22,000
All Right! Ride That Train! Yeah!
766
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:33,000
By late 1970, the dream that had stirred an entire generation officially ends.
767
01:07:33,000 --> 01:07:35,000
Charles Manson's use of LSD
768
01:07:35,000 --> 01:07:38,000
had not led him to enlightenment,
769
01:07:38,000 --> 01:07:41,000
but into madness.
770
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:48,000
And a new president removes all hope for change.
771
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:52,000
Jim's deeply affected by the deaths of Hendrix and Joplin.
772
01:07:52,000 --> 01:07:58,000
He jokes to friends: "They're looking at number three".
773
01:07:58,000 --> 01:08:00,000
Michael McClure helps change his mood.
774
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:02,000
With his support,
775
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:07,000
Simon and Schuster publishes the first collection of Jim's poems.
776
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:13,000
The book becomes one of Morrison's proudest accomplishments.
777
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:28,000
"Nothing", he says, "is as eternal as poetry and song".
778
01:08:28,000 --> 01:08:34,000
As the country enters the new decade, The Doors start over.
779
01:08:34,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Morrison Hotel had been another step away from the mainstream.
780
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:45,000
It took them back to their roots - the blues.
781
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:49,000
It went gold in 2 days.
782
01:08:49,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Despite the disaster of Miami,
783
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,000
Jack Holzman encourages them to make another album.
784
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:58,000
But some things stay the same.
785
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:05,000
Jim shows up late and drunk, only now, he's added cocaine to the mix.
786
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:10,000
The band is alternately bored and furious at Jim.
787
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:14,000
Rothchild falls asleep at the console.
788
01:09:14,000 --> 01:09:21,000
He tries to motivate the band by accusing them of playing cocktail music.
789
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:26,000
Rothchild finally realizes it's time for him to leave.
790
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,000
His parting words to The Doors,
791
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:35,000
"The only way you'll survive is if you make this record yourselves".
792
01:09:35,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Shocked by his departure, The Doors turn to Bruce Botnick.
793
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:50,000
Botnick urges the band to just play.
794
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:53,000
To John, it's like they're back in the garage,
795
01:09:53,000 --> 01:10:03,000
back to the four of them just playing music.
796
01:10:03,000 --> 01:10:07,000
It's John's idea to slow down the middle of LA Woman.
797
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Jim comes up with a phrase he wants to repeat over and over.
798
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:15,000
After they record it, Jim scribbles something on a piece of paper
799
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:16,000
and shows it to the group.
800
01:10:16,000 --> 01:11:09,000
Mr. Mojo Risin'
801
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:13,000
They record quickly, doing several songs a day.
802
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:15,000
To help keep Morrison interested,
803
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:20,000
Botnick brings in Jerry Scheff, Elvis' bass player.
804
01:11:20,000 --> 01:11:23,000
The band wants Love Her Madly to be the first single,
805
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:30,000
but Robby resists, calling his own song too commercial for The Doors.
806
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:45,000
His choice is Riders On The Storm.
807
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:54,000
Riders On The Storm.
808
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Into This House We're Born,
809
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:03,000
Into This World We're Thrown.
810
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:08,000
Like A Dog Without A Bone, An Actor Out On Loan.
811
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:12,000
Riders On The Storm.
812
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:16,000
There's A Killer On The Road,
813
01:12:16,000 --> 01:12:22,000
His Brain Is Squirming Like A Toad.
814
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:27,000
Take A Long Holiday,
815
01:12:27,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Let Your Children Play.
816
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:33,000
If You Give This Man A Ride,
817
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:36,000
Sweet Memory Will Die.
818
01:12:36,000 --> 01:13:24,000
Killer On The Road.
819
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:29,000
It takes just over a week to record the entire album.
820
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:36,000
Once again, all songs are credited to The Doors.
821
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:38,000
On December 8, 1970,
822
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:43,000
Jim Morrison celebrates his birthday by recording his own poetry.
823
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:47,000
- He Was No Private, For He Could Not Be Sold.
824
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
He Was Only A Man,
825
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:52,000
And His Dedication Extended To The Last Degree.
826
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:58,000
Poor, Pretentious Soldier, Come Home.
827
01:13:58,000 --> 01:14:00,000
He's 27.
828
01:14:00,000 --> 01:14:06,000
Friends can't believe the change in only 2 years.
829
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:08,000
The poetry session snaps him out of a depression,
830
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:13,000
and he agrees to perform live with The Doors again.
831
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:19,000
On December 12th, they play New Orleans, introducing the new songs from LA Woman.
832
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:23,000
For a moment, the old Morrison appears.
833
01:14:23,000 --> 01:14:29,000
Then he sits down on stage and doesn't get up.
834
01:14:29,000 --> 01:14:44,000
It is here Ray says he sees all of Jim's psychic energy leave his body.
835
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:49,000
A few days later, Pam Courson returns to LA from a vacation in Paris.
836
01:14:49,000 --> 01:14:51,000
She discovers Jim sleeping with a woman
837
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:56,000
who claims they were married in a pagan witch ceremony.
838
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:03,000
But the witch flies back to New York, and Jim goes back to Pam.
839
01:15:03,000 --> 01:15:05,000
She still envisions a life for the two of them
840
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:11,000
that starts with Jim leaving The Doors.
841
01:15:11,000 --> 01:15:12,000
He'll stay home and write poetry
842
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:17,000
while she runs an exclusive clothing boutique.
843
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:20,000
Just after the band finishes mixing LA Woman,
844
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:25,000
Jim announces he and Pam are moving to Paris.
845
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:27,000
He'll relax for a while.
846
01:15:27,000 --> 01:15:29,000
He'll quit drinking.
847
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:33,000
He'll concentrate on his poetry.
848
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:36,000
Ray asks when he's coming back.
849
01:15:36,000 --> 01:15:40,000
Jim just shrugs.
850
01:15:40,000 --> 01:15:42,000
On April 17, 1971,
851
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:45,000
with the Miami conviction still hanging over him,
852
01:15:45,000 --> 01:16:06,000
Jim flies to Paris.
853
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:11,000
For a while, things go according to plan.
854
01:16:11,000 --> 01:16:15,000
Jim does concentrate on his poetry.
855
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:18,000
He shaves his beard.
856
01:16:18,000 --> 01:16:20,000
He wanders the streets alone,
857
01:16:20,000 --> 01:16:22,000
visiting the cemetery at Pere Lachaise,
858
01:16:22,000 --> 01:16:28,000
where Chopin, Oscar Wilde and Edith Piaf are buried.
859
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:33,000
He develops a persistent cough.
860
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:36,000
Back home, Elektra releases LA Woman.
861
01:16:36,000 --> 01:16:42,000
Critics call it "The Doors' comeback album".
862
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:46,000
When his cough worsens, Pam takes him to the doctor,
863
01:16:46,000 --> 01:16:52,000
who strongly urges Morrison to quit drinking.
864
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,000
As he roams the city,
865
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,000
he carries his notebooks in a white plastic shopping bag.
866
01:16:57,000 --> 01:17:04,000
They're filled with fragments of song lyrics and poetry.
867
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:06,000
But the solitude of the writing
868
01:17:06,000 --> 01:17:15,000
offers little of the kick he knows so well.
869
01:17:15,000 --> 01:17:19,000
One day, Jim makes a phone call home.
870
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:23,000
John Densmore is surprised to hear from him.
871
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:29,000
Jim says he's thinking of coming home to make another album with The Doors,
872
01:17:29,000 --> 01:17:33,000
but John can tell his voice is slurred.
873
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:37,000
And one night, after hours of heavy drinking,
874
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:41,000
Jim says he doesn't feel well.
875
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:43,000
He takes a bath.
876
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:47,000
After calling out to Pam, "Are you still there?",
877
01:17:47,000 --> 01:18:07,000
he dies in the bathtub.
878
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:16,000
Before You Slip Into Unconsciousness, I'd
879
01:18:16,000 --> 01:18:21,000
Like To Have Another Kiss,
880
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:30,000
Another Flashing Chance At Bliss,
881
01:18:30,000 --> 01:18:45,000
Another Kiss.
882
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:51,000
The Days Are Bright And Filled With Pain,
883
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:56,000
Enclose Me In Your Gentle Rain.
884
01:18:56,000 --> 01:19:05,000
The Time You Ran Was Too Insane.
885
01:19:05,000 --> 01:19:19,000
We'll Meet Again.
886
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:22,000
The Vietnam war finally ends.
887
01:19:22,000 --> 01:19:27,000
The youth movement fades away, not to reappear.
888
01:19:27,000 --> 01:19:32,000
But that flash of protest, however brief, was real.
889
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:36,000
It forged the consciousness of a whole generation.
890
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:41,000
Oh, Tell Me Where Your Freedom Lies.
891
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:47,000
The Streets Are Fields That Never Dies,
892
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:58,000
Deliver Me From Reasons Why You'd Rather Cry,
893
01:19:58,000 --> 01:20:05,000
I'd Rather Fly.
894
01:20:05,000 --> 01:20:08,000
To some, Jim was a poet,
895
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:13,000
his soul trapped between heaven and hell.
896
01:20:13,000 --> 01:20:18,000
To others, he was just another rock star who crashed and burned.
897
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:26,000
But this much is true - you can't burn out if you're not on fire.
898
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:31,000
The Crystal Ship Is Being Filled,
899
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:36,000
A Thousand Girls, A Thousand Thrills...
900
01:20:36,000 --> 01:20:40,000
He would take his father another 10 years to say,
901
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:45,000
"My son had a unique genius which he expressed without compromise".
902
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:58,000
When We Get Back, I'll Drop A Line...
903
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:01,000
The Doors were together for 54 months.
904
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:06,000
They've sold over 80 million albums worldwide.
905
01:21:06,000 --> 01:21:09,000
They still sell a million albums a year.
906
01:21:09,000 --> 01:25:11,000
As of this date, none of their songs has been used in a car commercial...
907
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:15,000
These subtitles have been combined, revised and translated to Russian
908
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:19,000
