I recently purchased an amazing book...
The Collected Works of
A must for every DOORS fan!
Today is the 50th anniversary...
the day we all lost Jim
July 3, 1971 - July 3, 2021
Just wanted to revisit an earlier blog post
of when my friend Billy & myself
had the chance to party...
with Jim
It was an incredible day!
A Perfect Lyric
I recently purchased and received an
amazing collection of mostly unpublished
writings by the man himself...
His family came forward with many
notebooks that Jim had used over the years...
for poetry... lyrics...
and general ramblings.
It's a must have for ANY Doors fan for sure!
Anyways...
it got me to break out my Doors cd's...
and then I suddenly popped in
and as I was singing a song...
that I've probably sung 689 times
in my silly life...
I was just transformed
to another place and time.
It just made me feel like I was
a kid again listening to this album
for the very first time.
So fuckin' cool!
Absolutely love the entire album,
and while "Love Street"
is my favorite of the album...
this song... was the one...
to capture ALL of my attention...
Summer's Almost Gone
It's certainly one of their
lesser known songs... but when you sing,
and let that lyric sink into your brain...
wow... it's simply perfection!
It just rolls right off of your tongue.
It's so visual!
Morrison will always live with my friend
and me within the trip we took
to Paris France to drink with our
rock 'n roll hero.
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
Almost gone
Yeah... it's almost gone
Where will we be
When the summer's gone
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burned gold into our hair
At night we swam the laughin' sea
When summer's gone
Where will we be
Where will we be
Where will we be
Summer's almost gone
Where will we be
Summer's almost gone
Summer's almost gone
We had some good times
But they're gone
The winter's coming on
Summer's almost gone
