    I love The Doors and their music. I'm a generation X and The Doors music was and is a part of the soundtrack to my life along with The Beatles, The Stones, Dylan, Jefferson Airpalane, Buffalo Springfield, Canned Heat! etc. etc. so much good music back then. Early 90's were pretty good for rock n roll too: Nirvana, Stone Temple Pilots, The Black Crowes, Pearl Jam, Alice In Chains, Beck, Soundgarden, et. al. I love the music from the 60's era especially '65-70'...🎵👉✌️. I play drums myself and have been in and out of bands since I was 15. I can sing somewhat. I've sang Doors, Sinatra, and Dylan at karaoke before. good times!

    Awesome. Just watching the '68 Hollywood Bowl show on Amazon right now, and got to wondering if Densmore was still alive! I knew Krieger was, but I couldn't recall if he was the last man standing! What a pair of legends. Twenty years ago, or a wee bit more, The Doors changed my life. CIA "social-engineering" band or not..... I know people decry it for their own reasons, but "Waiting for the Sun" started my education in proper musicianship.

      If they were part of the social engineering, I am sure the doors were completely unaware they were being used for that purpose. Nevertheless, a lot if good in my life has come about as a result of being a big doors fan. Including "questioning all authority." Sometimes, especially with something as subjective as art, social engineering can backfire on the secret puppet masters.
