- “‘It is a great honor to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... a street that Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger and I traipsed up and down, going into bars, asking if they'd hire a rock band.’ -JD Photo courtesy of Getty Images #TheDoors #JohnDensmore #WalkofFame
- Remembering Jim today. He wasn’t just our frontman - he was a poet, a provocateur, and a seeker. There was a wild wisdom in him, something untamed and electric that still echoes through every note we played together.
- I thought what we were doing might last a decade or so, but I had no idea our lead singer was tapping into a core of universal sound vibrations, sonic waves that continue to resonate to this day. Remembering Jim (12/8/43 - 7/3/71) Photo Credit: Paul Ferrara #TheDoors #JimMorrison
- The gifted actor, @valkilmer, who miraculously played Jim (Morrison) in The Doors movie, has broke on thru to the other side. RIP. Photo courtesy of Getty Images.
- As an actor, Val's channeling of Jim (Morrison) was so close, he gave me the creeps on the set of Oliver Stone's biopic. He should have been nominated for an Oscar as Best Actor. Photo courtesy of Getty Images. #ValKilmer #TheDoors #JimMorrison

- Sly Stone was so ahead of the curve, he had a global village in his band. White people, black people, women... “Everyday People.” We were so proud when he stuck the exclamation, “Light my fire” into the lyrics of his song, “I Wanna Take You Higher.” RIP my friend, john densmore
- Happy birthday to one of the best, Ray Manzarek. I first met Ray at a meditation class in 1965, and we hit it off right away. We bonded over our shared love for jazz, the art of improvisation in music, and discovered an even deeper connection when we played together.
- On this day in 1967, we released our second studio album, STRANGE DAYS! While recording this album, Paul Rothchild, our producer, was very open about listening to everyone’s input in the recording studio.
