Don't know if you know this, MR, but the Doors are one of my lifelong obsessions.
I remember hearing Light My Fire when I was like 8 and thinking that was the best song I had ever heard. It eclipsed Elivs' Hound Dog and Jailhouse Rock upon first hearing.
Later, I came to love Zep even more, but the Doors are still up there for me.

When I was in college I had to take a course in Philosophy 9the only one I ever took. Sorry, Pasto:)
We had to choose a philosopher and write a paper on them by the end of the semester.
I chose Jim Morrison.
The course was taught by a nun who had survived the concentration camps (now and then you'd catch a glimpse of the tattoo on her left forearm).
I got the highest grade in the class and now, 27 yrs later, can't even remember what I wrote.
But if I dig it up I'll send you a copy.
