I'm listening to the first two songs of Waiting For the Sun Hello I Love You and Love Street again and again. I like The Doors. They seem to encourage engagement with life. Jim gets a bad press from superior would be music critics, (yes I guess I'm one myself). Bit he encourages the listening to question the given which surely is the purpose of life.
Waiting For The Sun admittedly is a bit of a car crash in some ways. The sequencing is all over the shop. It doesn't flow. The two sides of the record are bookended by two of the band's least likeable moments. Unknown Soldier and Five to One. The grand centerpiece Celebration of The Lizard didn't cohere. Other records are better. But hey it had drama, colour and engagement.
