The Doors recorded and released “Hello, I Love You” in 1968. The only hint that it was about a black girl is the “dusky jewel” line. In 1969, The Stones recorded “Brown Sugar”, released as a single in 1971. “Brown Sugar” is the most overtly sexual song about a black girl imaginable. It must have caused shock waves. If The Doors tapped on that door, The Stones smashed it to smithereens! Great interview, Professor!

[@dennis1954]

From the era Cooper was one of my favorites. When ‘I’m Eighteen’ came out and became popular I was 17 years old and could relate to the lyrics in anticipation of being 18 and an adult legally. When I was 18 years old ‘Schools Out Forever’ was a reality for me, at least until my 30’s when I went to college. I spent a winter in Phx and lived close to Camelback HS. when 20 years old. During that era he was my favorite singer and showman but Gilmour was and still is my favorite guitar player that started after experiencing PF in concert (1973).

[@pcno2832]

I thought this was going to be about "Elenore" by the Turtles; they wrote that song as a protest against their management's demands for a catchy love song, and, it, too was a big hit. But I had heard Doors members calling "Hello, I Love You" as the "bubblegum track" of the album, and it's easy to imagine Ohio Express or 1910 Fruitgum Company having a hit with it. But the Doors gave it that sinister tint that would be a bit out of character for a bubblegum group. I don't think they had anything to be ashamed of.

Love this channel. I also appreciate you covering some great Canadian bands. There are so many treasures from the Great White North. A band that started in the 70s in Saskatchewan moved to Winnipeg with a solid debut album “Meanwhile Back in Paris” - Streetheart had one of the best vocalists for the time . Kenny Shields with great harmony and back up vocals from keyboardist Darryl Guetheil . Two members went on to form Loverboy but Kenny and Streetheart were a Western Canada staple on rock radio. Check out Action and Pressure or Hollywood from Under Heaven Over Hell. Their sophomore album. Also their cover of Under My Thumb impressed Mick and Keith so much they acknowledged the cover as the best they had heard when Streetheart reinvented the song

It's me! The Professor of Rock! I'm here for the interview!"_ To which he replied, _"...oh...is that today??"_ And still smiling, you said, _"Yeah...

Much as I love the Beatles, the idea of having Paul McCartney fronting the Doors Garners the immediate response - "NOO! NOO! GOD! NOO!"

I have a mate who's mother saw them live in the late 60's on Venice Beach. Her brain has never been the same, I spent last Christmas with her. I think the LSD back then was just way too strong.

Linda would have never allowed Paul to join the Doors. She knew all the stories.

Robby's "No Habla" from 1989 is a must have!!

Cool!

"Hello, I Love You" isn't a dumb or shallow song at all! It's got that great line (that reveals so much): "Do you hope to pluck this dusky jewel?" That's poetry! And Adam Ant's cover of it, complete with brass horn section, is mind-bendingly good. Even when he was "bad", Jim Morrison was awesome and a cut above the rest.
