@@Granberrydawg Double entendre maybe? I think so.. I think Jim loved employing those type of literary mechanisms, kinda like “Mr. Mojo Risin” being an anagram for his name: Jim Morrison. Historically, cities have always been likened to women, most notably this metaphor recurs throughout the Bible, but also carried on as something of a literary tradition throughout classic literature which Jim was acutely aware of and well versed in. Also, “hair is burning” and “hills are filled with fire” is both a comment on a very sexually desirable woman with burning body, and the yearly Santa Ana winds that cause annual fires through the Hollywood hills. Also, imho.. it seems that the climaxes are very much a point of the song are very much a metaphor for sexual climax, as is classically the case with music composition, but takes on a special meaning for the “LA Woman”.

One of the all time great cruising songs! This is what you get when you mix a jazz drummer, a flamenco style guitar player, a classically trained piano player and a kamikaze drunk poet who loved Frank Sinatra!!! L.A. Woman has been on my Playlist for great songs to drive to for over 40 years. It's never come off that list!!! The Doors are underrated as musicians. I saw them live 2 times in a small theater 4th row. Unfortunately it was after Morrison died. Ian Astbury was lead vocalist. Was sometime around 2002 or so. I marveled at how great they were as musicians. These guys could really play at a high level. Flawless , it sounded so good,on par with Skynyrd and the Eagles where live performances matched their recorded works. It was that precise and clean!!! Yes I only got 3/4 of original band but my God ,it was fantastic. I couldn't even imagine getting to see the original 4 piece band intact!!! Now I know why Carlos Santana fav band is the Doors!!! Great, talented musicians, masters!!!

@@bongodave13 right on Bongo Dave. I myself thought it would be good because I had seen the VH1 storytellers concert before going to see the Doors in Tampa. On VH1 concert 3/4 of the Doors played using a series of singers. Ian Astbury, Perry Farrell, Pearl Jam vocalist Eddie Vedder and I think one other singer i cant recall. When I saw the show in Tampa it was Ian Astbury doing all the vocals. I have to say without question, it really was an amazing , Astbury like you said had the closest stage presence to Jim Morrison. I'll rate it up there on my greatest shows list and I've seen them all,hundreds of shows including all the legendary 60s and 70s acts. I was a ticket broker so I always sat close and never missed the great ones!! If u get a chance to see VH1 story tellers you got to check out Perry Farrell's vocals on The End!! He nailed it better than anyone!! He was that good!!! Going to see the Doors show was so spectacularly good and Densmore on drums, such powerful drumming for a little guy! Also since they had a bassist it freed up Manzarek left hand to do alot more on the keys and of course Robbie Kreiger was tremendous on playing the Gibson SG. I can't emphasize enough that if you get a chance go grab that Doors DVD VH1 Story tellers. It's a fucking home run!!

Jim Morrison was the son of Admiral Morrison who was in charge of the Pacific fleet during Vietnam. He would tell interviewers his family died in a car wreck crossing the desert. Grew up in Northern Virginia and attended Wakefield High School. He went to UCLA film school, dropped out and met Ray Manzarick at Venice Beach in the mid 60s. Morrisons poetry were the lyrics and Ray wrote most of the music. They started out as the house band, at the Whiskey a Go Go, on Sunset Strip in LA. The breakout #1 hit "light My Fire", long considered the best rock song of all time by many, catapulted them into Stardom after appearing on Ed Sullivan. The more you listen to the Doors, the more you dive into the depths of your soul.

Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robbie Krieger, L to R on album cover, were L.A. natives, Jim Morrison moved there as a teenager, his father was an Admiral in the U.S. Navy. Jim (RIP) was an unfortunate member of the 27 Club, as they all are.

L.A. native. 9 or 10 when this album came out in '71. Remember it well. What do we L.A. natives think of it? Depends on who you ask. But lines like "murder madness" (The Manson family murders), "with a little girl in a Hollywood bungalow" (probably the Chateau Marmont), "hills are filled with fire" (wildfires that break out during the summer), are pretty much self-explanatory. The song itself? The city of L.A. itself is the woman in question most likely.

Other reports say the Viet Kong wasn't even in the area.

In this song, Jim Morrison is singing about the city of Los Angles (LA Woman) not a human woman. In the lyrics, you hear him sing about "I see your hair is burning," and he is talking about the yearly fires in the Hills that catch on fire and burn the grass (Hair) and sometimes a lot more, from the seasonal Santa Anna winds that come every year. Also "Driving down your Freeways," and other references to the city of Los Angles. It's a great song, from an iconic Band and an iconic singer. Also Morrison is a member of "The 27 Club" along with Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix. all died at age 27 and were superstars of the same time period.

The city of LA is the Woman. "Hills are filled with fire", "Driving down your freeways", etc. Murder madness refers to the Manson murders which, along with the trial, were in the recent past at the time. I'm sure someone already mentioned this, but Mr Mojo Risin is an anagram for Jim Morrison. And please, please do the rest of this final album, my favorite Doors album and their bluesiest album. They were one of the rare groups that did not rest on their laurels as their last two albums were their best in my opinion. Adding Elvis' bass player, Jerry Scheff, was a key element to the album and Morrison was in a mood to let everything rip. His cover of John Lee Hooker's "Crawling King Snake" and their own "Cars Hiss by My Window" are some of the filthiest blues you'll ever hear, but every song on the album is great in different ways. Sadly, Morrison died acouple of months after LA Woman was released.

The Doors, an LA band, got together in 1965, UCLA, Venice Beach, Westwood, Hollywood Club Scene. In 1967 they released "Light My Fire" which hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart under the psychedelic rock genre of 60's music. The album version is 7 minutes and they kind of broke the 2 1/2 - 3 minute mold of song writing, I think. The very next year Iron Butterfly, another psychedelic rock band from San Diego California, released "In A Gadda Da Vida" which is 17 minutes long.

I did the Texas mile several times and I had this song playing as loud as possible while I was going 209 mph, what an adrenaline rush between the car and the song!

I just love Robbie Kriegers "Cats Meow " sounding style on his Gibson guitar. For a real treat as a private listening venture give the Doors Album "An American Prayer" a listen. It was released after Jim's death and it is a compilation of Jims poetry mixed with doors music. It's extremely trippy and a snapshot of that time period. Don't react as the items on the album are different lengths, meanings, and a genuine journey. It would be wiser to listen to it and marvel at the genius that Morrison was. .

As always, great review. As good as this song is, my all-time favorite Doors song has to be "Roadhouse Blues." Check it out, I think you will love it. If you like it dark, "This is the End," and "When the Music's Over" will blow your mind, but you will see Morrison's true genius. Musically, "Riders On the Storm" is also great. "Light My Fire" is also classic Doors. Love your channel, you are among the best out there. Thank you for what you do.

As usual a superb reaction gentlemen. It's hard to put to words my fondness for The Doors. Easily top shelf talent the likes of which are once in a lifetime. Thanks La & Che for traveling down a road that's the heart & soul of many of us musically. You two seem to be enjoying the trip.

Jim Morrison is singing as if L.A. is a woman ("See Your Hair A Buring") is about the fires during the L.A. riots, the way the city was like a metaphor for women, and the wide nightlife of the city. Great Job guys - love your choices, as always. Y'all are the best.

He can be a bit of a chameleon, vocally. I would say you are now ready to hear The Doors song The End. Morrison explores dark writing ideas, and even the oedipus complex. (I dont think anyone else in rock has gone there.) HAHA....there is a Talking Heads song that should maybe follow up with... it carries one of his themes, but naming it would give away the big story line from The End's narrative. You need to be surprised by the trip that first listen !!!!!!

They were from LA - Jim Morrison was taking classes on poetry and acting in college and fell into the band, then quit school to do it full time. His father was a high ranking (admiral) in the Navy and thought Jim was not a musician and just wasting his time.

The Doors formed in LA when Ray Manzarek met Jim Morrison when they were at UCLA and Morrison read his poetry to Ray and the band was formed... Jim Morrison was a military brat from Florida ...

Ray Manzarek, the keyboard player, got the riff from an Ajax Soap commercial..."stronger than dirt". You may have to be of a certain age to remember the jingle, but once you hear it, you'll recognize it. Not sure what states, respectively, these guys were from, but they are All American. I always took this song as a metaphor for LA culture...if you've ever spent any time in the city, its eerily fitting. Peace, out, Beats! Thank you so much!😎😎😎

"Motel. Money. Murder. Madness." THAT's a damn good story, right there in just four two-syllable words! I dig what you said about the difference and similarities between being a lyricist and a poet. Which one was Jim Morrison? Yes.

For a Band that didn't have a Bass player, the Bass sounds very good on their recordings. Great song by one of the best Bands in history. Jim Morrison, just like Kurt Cobain couldn't handle the fame and attention. Ray and Jim met on Venice Beach. Ray was blown away by Jim's poetry.

well said.... morrison could do succinct symbolism well. its funny, b/c he has the reputation more for the opposite of meandering into low narratives. yet, his economy at times is vastly underrated.
