[@ramonalfaro3252]

Genius! Right?

[@nixon9346]

That part was densmores idea

[@mafemartinez2235]

That was Jim

[@chrissavage8502]

Fun fact: Jim Morrison was a poet and overall wordsmith of sorts and “Mr. Mojo risin”, the nonsensical lyric during the breakdown, is actually an anagram for Jim Morrison. Also the doors DID NOT have a full time bass player. This track had a studio musician, but What you’d be hearing live, and in the studio on most of the earlier albums, would be bass being played on these lower notes of a separate keyboard called a Vox Continental. Ray Manzarek would often split duties between bass rhythms and lead keyboards. Sometimes at the same time.

[@derkabronen]

They were jaming with Elvis Presley's bass player, Jerry Scheff I think... and he came up with the bass line if I remember correctly.

"Motel money murder madness..." line is in reference to the mysterious homicide of R&B singer Sam Cooke, who died in an LA motel. Great lyrics by Morrison to go from driving down your freeways where everything is sunny and care free to the dark underbelly of LA.

Love you guys. I see all these channels trying to imitate what you guy's are doing, but at the end of the day they don't appreciate the greatness of a song and break it down like you all. You are absolutely correct on this song being a metaphor. Jim Morrison was a brilliant song writer. Cops in cars, never saw a woman so alone - great stuff. It's metaphoric, the physicality of the town and thinking of a woman and we need to take care of her. I'm from East LA, a part of LA that isn't glamourous at all. I love the end this song, Morrison repeats MOJO Rising. Jim Morrison created an ingenious anagram of his name by re-arranging the letters to spell “Mr. Mojo Risin. A mojo is a voodoo magic charm. It can be specifically a fertility charm, or just a generic word for voodoo magic or if you have a collection of charms you keep them in a "Mojo Bag"If the bag were red, it would be a mojo for love and you would have to put a personal item, such as hair or bit of clothing in order for the mojo to work. If the mojo were made out of a black bag it would be for death. Back then people thought mojo meant sexual energy, including Jim Morrison. I think Muddy Waters is the first to reference MOJO in one of his songs, "Mojo Blues". I love this song being from LA and all, if you really think about about the lyrics, it is a sad song. Love you guys! Keep up the greatness. Con Mucho Respecto Y con Mucho Amor.

Someone that actually knows their shit!!!!!

[@SonicProfessor_a.k.a._T._Andra]

Yes. It is accurate to say that: The Doors had no bass player. ...The truth is: they had about 20. ;-P --hahahahah Most folks, simply, reiterate the stage set-up, where The Doors were an improvisational, self-responsive unit. Manzarek played the bass parts on a Fender Rhodes piano bass (designed for that purpose) - (His main instrument was the Vox Continental...) However!!!!!!: In the studio, The Doors had a series of session players and guests sit-in on the bass. Paul Rothschild and Bruce Botnick (correctly!) decided that: the piano bass unit did NOT have the appropriate PUNCH (not enough attack), to put-across the sound that they and the band wanted on their albums. WHY did The Doors never acquire a full-time bassist?? ...There are any number of arguments and, likely: it was, just, a timing thing and a 'correct personnel for the job' thing. (A lot of ppl, either, had other commitments, or did not want to take on a full-time gig with The Doors!). Also: there's the "4 against the world" mentality, which, definitely, manifested itself within The Doors camp (esp. early-on)! ...on the L.A. Woman album, the guy you need to be thanking for/congratulating on the Bass parts is: Jerry Scheff. Jerry is one of two bass-players who have been the sole players on a single Doors album. [The other being "Wrecking Crew" great: Larry Knechtel, who plays on THE DOORS [The Doors' self-titled debut album (from Jan. of 1967)] - and, "B.T.W.": The Doors debut is a RIGHTFULLY LEGENDARY and UNDENIABLE album!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Normally the Doors did not have a bass player with Ray Manzarek playing a keyboard bass with his left hand but on this album Jerry Scheff played bass because they wanted a deeper bass sound for this song.

[@StanSwan]

The inner meaning of this song was Jim knew his 6 record deal with Elektra records was up, he was facing real prison time over the mess in Miami (a whole book could be written about that), and he was moving to Paris, France. He was saying goodbye to LA, I don't think he knew he was going to OD on heroin (and don't even try to debate this Pam told Danny Sugarman that is what happened and Danny came clean about it when he died of lung cancer at 50). Jim was sick of being a rock star, had all the money he needed and wanted to take a vacation and figure out what to do next. But one night he spun the wheel like he had done thousands of times before and got away with it. This time he lost and died. "I see your hair is burning, (Hollywood) hills are filled with fire, If they said I never loved you, you know that are a liar (full circle of Light My Fire "you know that it would be untrue, you know that I would be a liar, if I was to say to you, girl we couldn't get much higher", perfect script for a UCLA film school student).

I was just going to say that very thing, Jim's voice and singing style changed by how much acid\weed was consumed. He wasn't the only one who changed like this Hendrix's playing changed as the acid affected his body.

And Jim was a tortured soul and alcoholic with a genius IQ. Together, they created something unique and special.

[@bradhardisty1652]

Their was a big difference then because if you wanted to learn to play an instrument in the 60s, you were taught to play Jazz or Classical music. Then, they learned Rock on their own or with friends. Now people study Rock They might go back and learn Jazz styles. Mosr of the great drummers from the 60s were Jazz trained, Ginger Baker, Mitch Mitchell, Bill Wyman, John Bonham, Ian Paice.

Morrison was an educated man and very intelligent. Despite all the contrary nonsense that he was an out of control hippy dippy. He had a keen incite on the 60's. Sadly he was a flawed man like everyone else and couldn't escape his demons! If he had lived I think we would have sought out his wisdom as an enlightened man.

He does live. Any great artist lives on through their art. When you listen to the music or read his lyrics in those moments he is alive.

[@mjeffn2]

Jim Morrison was has anything but, Hippy Dippy.” Back in the day he may have referred to himself or identified as more of a “freak,” than a Hippy. Jim was hard core in every way possible. He was a highly intelligent, educated, deep thinker who was as rebellious and brilliant as they come. He was probably also the sexiest man alive at the time according to my GF. I was 13 when this album was released and pulse increases when ever I hear Jim’s voice. The Doors’ music never leaves you.
