I've never really explored The Doors, but I do like
some of their material. Wasn't Love supposed to be
the next Doors -- there is some common ground there.
Morrison can be a drag, but he had his good moments
too. I certainly think songs like "Hello I Love You"
and "Touch Me" were outstanding singles.
