Elizabeth,all 3 remaining "Doors" are alive & well 35 & 1/2 years after Morrison "checked out".
As Annie said,drummer John Densmore spoke via video-tape (guess I tuned out too soon). Bobby Kreiger was in the audience.
Annie,I think all musicians back then wanted to be bigger than the Beatles but just like the movie Highlander states,"There can be only one". (That big that is.)
I just couldn't believe they didn't already have that award. Billy Joel got his before they did.
Gitch,I think when a person feels the need to receive that much attention because they didn't have it before,their mind is already emotionally gone.
While I was sad that she didn't surpass Monroe's age in life,I wasn't completely surprised when I heard the news. She stated in early interviews she idolized Marylin Monroe,to which I said to myself "Uh-oh".
It's like when Chis Farley mentioned he idolized John Belushi. Although I thought given what happened to John,Chris would have been more sensible.
Personally,I feel that's why I never really "idolized" anybody after childhood. I enjoyed the entetainment thecomedians,singers & actors gave,when I was a teen but I never placed them on a higher pedestal than they should be.
Not even Gordon or Mariah.
