" I woke up this morning and got myself a beer, the future uncertain and the end is always near" greatest line in any song, anytime, anywhere, ever written!

[@satanlaffing]

YOU ARE CORRECT SIR!!! i've done that very thing many a time on road trips.

[@dixiechatty958]

And it's not a call to party. It's always sounded like a call of desperation.

[@satanlaffing]

@@dixiechatty958 no. Back in '69 THE DOORS & ALICE COOPER were playing a festival & while hanging out JIM asked ALICE how He's Doing & He Replied 'woke Up This Morning & Got Myself A Beer'.

[@krisdoggett483]

Yea it is🍺🍺

[@ericlesher5962]

Yes, but "I was shuffling through the parking lot of an invisible 7-11"

[@michaeldezego340]

I've heard this song a thousand times and I never ever get tired of it. Have you done L.A. Woman yet?

[@WitchessJae]

I hope they do LA Woman if they haven't already!! I never get tired of the Doors. I even remember the first time I heard them 🧡

[@gilmtz4]

When I graduated from high school in 1984 my brother invited me to Mexico to help him drive from Chicago he finally gave me the wheel somewhere in the middle of Texas it must have been about 12 midnight and I was falling asleep I did things like roll down the window get some fresh air in my face and I was putting in some music I noticed that my brother had a cassette of the doors so I popped it in I remember listening for the whole first sight of the and feeling very tired and my head bobbing and trying to shake off the tiredness I remember the song ending and when the cassette went to the other side the first song was Roadhouse Blues in my sleep I can hear the intro of this song and of course the first words that are spoken are keep your eyes on the road your hands upon the wheel I heard that and I woke up I began to sweat knowing that I was asleep at the wheel I exited at the next stopped and went into the gasoline station and grabbed everything that contains caffeine I realize later as I got older nor my brother and his family I just thank God that he was looking out for us but every time I hear Roadhouse Blues it reminds me of that night on our trip to Mexico

[@chrisn2125]

I feel the same way about this song. It’s timeless!

[@presleycheshire3968]

Jim used to hang out in an old dive bar in the Hollywood hills, a run down relic of the 1930's. They had some old bungalows in the back. They'd get shit faced and crash or party the humpty dance all night. "I woke up this morning and got myself a beer... The futures uncertain and the end is always near" has stuck with me for decades. F*ck it! You may as well enjoy it now cause, who knows? We're only in this a short time. Like Lennon said; why are we here, surly not to live in pain and fear. Jim Morrison was a poet first and then became a singer. Avant-garde. He just oozed sex. The soul, power, blending with his words is magic. Nobody in the day came close. Brilliant.

[@827dusty]

You're hitting all of the "Classic Rock" Bands of the 60s and 70s. It was the greatest music in Rock and Roll History. Keep it coming!

[@bufordt.justice6741]

Morrison was obsessed with death and his poetic sensibilities were inspired by dark poets such as baudelaire and rimbaud. truly a one of a kind personality of the likes we shall never see again

[@jcartwrt]

"The future's uncertain and the end is always near" - love that!

And we never will🤟

[@dantallman5345]

Roadhouse Blues has such a great blues song. It is full of call & response, vocal line mirrored immediately by instruments.

[@idalily3810]

The call and response on this song is amazing.

[@marover]

you are right!!!!

[@rubbersole79]

"The Doors" movie is a must see. Val Kilmer learned to sing 50 Doors songs for the role. Upon hearing his demo's the surviving members of the band couldn't tell Val's vocals from Jim's.

[@3qqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqqq10]

Jims my cousin on bio dads side and Doc Hollidays my cousin on bio moms side. Val played both of them. What a trip huh?

[@BuddyBoy68]

The Doors film was good enough to get me into the band, but was heavily criticised for being historically inaccurate and for creating a false impression of Jim Morrison. Look up the real Jim Morrison on loads of documentaries available online. Æ 🙏

[@clarenceworley3714]

I wouldn't go as far as saying it's a must see; the movie was filled with bullshit. Jim didn't scream "higher" on the Sullivan Show, they didn't show an upclose shot of his crotch, nor did he set a closet on fire with Pam inside along with a lot more made up or exaggerated instances Stone put into the film. If you really want to know what Jim was like read the band members memoirs and listen to his interviews done by Howard Smith and Ben Fong-Torres. And last but not least only read No One Here Gets Out Alive knowing it's not completely accurate and feeds into the Morrison myth.

[@nitab1971]

Jim was scatting. I saw him dragged off the stage by the New Haven police in 1969. We were 16, and it blew our minds!!! Jim was a rock God. The Doors...legendary. Watch them live. A piano/organ, a guitar, a set of drums, a harmonica. The End (no pun intended).

[@glennb2227]

That would've been 1967.

[@nitab1971]

Love Jim's scat on this. Wot a man! Check out when the music's over, peace frog, changeling or even Spanish caravan to show their versatility. Thanks guys. Keep it going.x

Yes Spanish Caravan is so different they would t know it’s the Doors

[@mikephillips8810]

Brilliant choice of suggested songs there!

[@nayf7682]

One of the greatest bands ever!

[@bostonvair]

This song, along with ""Love Me Two Times" (also by the Doors) are two of the best road trip driving songs of all time.

[@TheMaure]

LA woman ?

[@bartstarr100]

"Roadhouse" A movie starring Patrick Swayze was made in tribute to this song. It featured Jeff Healy playing this song.

[@Bongo138]

D'ya know, I thought he would have been bigger.

[@ghostlee6434]

He's scatting! You ain't really feeling a song if you ain't scatting. Jim Morrison was a poet so a lot of his songs had a lot of feeling in it like the blues

[@justingutube]

Love the Doors! More talent and charisma in that band than many in the history of rock!

[@surlechapeau]

Asia and BJ, wow, this song is so good you reacted to it twice!! (Sep 6, 2021 with live footage)

[@tonyhomant244]

That's apparently how much attention they pay to this. That deserves an unsubscribe.

[@p.b.palaciosalmafuerte3463]

Surlechapeau was a live version, this was on an american prayer album. and in alive she cried album.

[@pleasantvalleypickerca7681]

"Morrison Hotel" is one of their best albums. It rocks hard and this song is a kick as* way to start the album!!!

[@billmann6278]

They had stars with em on that one, 50s guitarist Lonnie Mack on Bass guitar and John Sebastian from the Lovin Spoonful on harmonica.

[@jeannieschmidt2217]

It just pure and simple - one of the best songs EVER. So glad you guys dug up this GEM. Hugs and love from Canada.

Jim is the best Love the Doors ♥️ BJ excellent line my favorite by far!!! His mindset was the LSD mindset he was wildly imaginative and talented!!

[@donnabruhn6907]

The music from the 60's was so innovative but based on R&B. We were so blessed Doors, CCR, Steppenwolf, Cream, Beatles', Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin wow

And The Grateful Dead. Also The Band.

[@deborahstrickland9845]

My favorite band of all time. I love his free style in this song. One of the best. Great watching you guys enjoy this gem of the past

[@quintondees4501]

This is the kind of song that you wish never ended, always puts you in a groove

[@alphajava761]

Juke Joint is the perfect description of how this song feels. I gotta feeling this song was born at a Juke Joint while these boys were on the road down South.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

Jim Morrison was from Florida

[@alphajava761]

@@neilpatrickhairless Jim showed the boys how to do it

[@Eroticwitch]

You hit the nail on the head when you said "Jukejoint". Check out the movie, "Crossroads", with Ralph Machio, and Joe Seneca, and Joe Morton. It has the legend of Robert Johnson, making a deal with the devil on "Highway 61".

[@jeffforrester5896]

Every Saturday morning I crack a beer because of this tune

[@eileendobbs8009]

Check out Peace Frog by The Doors. Probably my favorite. Reactors never react to it and they're missing out.

[@bentindle9036]

Possibly the best blues song ever written.

[@nancymartineau-bauman6018]

I love the Doors, play anything Doors and I am happy. Been a favorite since I was a kid. Always loved this song. Great reactions!

[@jakeenan]

Morrison, man. And those dudes behind him taking him wherever he wants to go. And that voice.....Crooner, Bluesman, soft, spoken and a primal roar like no other. As a singer alone, he was top of the range. On this tune he insisted on being drunk when he recorded it. He was so right. That character singing sounds 100% legit.

[@jmoreno44]

This song is FIRE!!!!

"Peace Frog" by The Doors: crazy title, badass tune. Top shelf.

[@Reclining_Spuds]

For sure!!! 💪

[@vickiconley3638]

He's scatting yall'! 60's-70's music is so great. Grew up with it, still love it. Classic rock involves all different genres and different instrumentation. Give today's kids some instruments. Even if its a small harmonica or tambourine!

[@joannparker1977]

My favorite Doors song of all time. They were an LA band. Part of what was called “The LA Scene” in the 60’s. Along with bands such as Jefferson Airplane and The Mamas and the Papas. Big into psychedelics.

[@thomasvest7111]

BJ, you nailed the analysis on this one. Also, Morrison was underrated as a vocalist- he had quite a powerful voice and superb raspy tone. Definitely one of the sixties hard rock/blues songs that belongs in a space time capsule to represent the sound of the sixties. Unmatched accompaniment by the instruments esp. the killer guitar solo on this one!

[@SIXX2772]

Hell yeah.....Drop of the day guys!!! Can ya still hear me with the caps off? lol Blues by nature is Southern.

[@barrycohen311]

Jim loved the blues....

Again, boys and girls, welcome to the world of the Doors. Never a band like that before, and doubtful ever again. Their philsophies a d references were so deep, and I just said "good luck". I'm just an old LA boy in love with the quintessential LA band.

[@sananto6896]

They played the short version. The longer version of Roadhouse Blues is even better.

[@billtaylor3382]

Another great Band back in the 70's man there were so many bands with different music and me and my friends loved all of them!

[@BaccarWozat]

With most of the Doors' music, I prefer the original mixes. The remastered stuff just seems to be more of an attempt to keep the music fresh by changing it slightly, rather than an improvement of sound quality from different takes. That said, I believe both versions are still available, so take your pick.

Speaking of Juke Joints, listen to Elvin Bishop's , "Juke Joint Jump". And of course his iconic, "Fooled Around And Fell In Love". Plus, "Party 'Till The Cows Come Home", "Sure Feels Good", "Wide River", "Travelin' Shoes". He has such a tight band too. Elvin should be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!

I just have to say, best album cover EVER! Mercy Jim Morrison was hot!! Music of my teenage years. So so good.

[@dickcnormis1444]

Jim was on a death trip and he died at 27. A lot of his songs have some dark lyrics. He knew he was on his way out.

[@deanhills6745]

Morrison said the line (I woke up this morning and I got myself a beer) came when he called one of his friends (Alice Cooper) in the morning and he of course was drinking a beer. Jim thought that was ridiculous. So he put it to words It's great you two love our music. Try any song from Hall and Oats, I think you'll like them.

[@Ritaholden1]

Very soulful. Love their music. 👍

[@Laurie-xu6fo]

Keep your eyes on the road, your hands, upon the wheel 🛞 ✨️

[@minamarciano3561]

Actually Jim always thought that the spirit of a dead native American boy jumped into his body when on a trip thru the desert as a child with his parents they came across a bunch of Indians that were dead or something like that...even some of the band members have been in interviews saying that sometimes he did seem like someone else especially when performing....ooh gives me chills

[@tomaroni6670]

..."Class of 76"...listen closely and during the Action Lady Give up your vows lines you can hear him quietly repeating the verse he just sang like a echo...he says the end "is" always near...so my take is "why not" let it roll baby roll

[@ronpotter9810]

Harmonica on this song was played by John Sebastian of The Lovin Spoonful.

[@richardwilliams9414]

[@tykealmquist1755]

And that music was made 50 years ago. But still popular today!

[@wasa71]

I just say..."Riders on the storm". You should definitely react to it. A hauntigly beautiful song by them. Btw Snoop Dogg made a remix / cover version of it ;)

[@rachelpsmith3129]

"The future's uncertain and the end is always near" is just how it is. Sometime between your ages and my own 58 it started seeming obvious to me.

[@inexplicablyleft2729]

"The future's uncertain and the end is always near" is a great line, but Jim Morrison was not the only person who was feeling it. Elementary school children were being led through drills for nuclear explosions, and the stereotypical pick-up line was something like "Let's make the most of tonight because we may not have a tomorrow." As bad as things look to a lot of people today, they are still not the 60s.

[@ComradChe]

The best music has already been written, the best pictures have already been painted, the best novels have been written! All we need to do is enjoy them. Spit on modern art and mucsic. It is unworthy of attention))

[@barriehull7076]

Status Quo, while touring in Bielefeld, Germany, in 1970,[17] heard the Doors' recording shortly after it was released. They were looking for a change of direction, away from their original psychedelic pop style, and were unsure about what to do; after hearing the song in a club, they enjoyed its 12-bar shuffle and thought it would be a good template for future original material.[18] The group recorded a studio version on the 1972 album Piledriver, with bassist Alan Lancaster taking the lead vocal and featuring an extra verse with three-part harmonies, which the Doors' recording did not have.[17] The lyrics differed from the original; for instance, "I should have made you" instead of "Ashen lady".[19] The track was released as a promotional single, with Black Sabbath's "Children of the Grave" on the B-side.[17]
