I did ushering for my highschool's production of James and the Giant Peach about two weeks ago. Our doors would open with Lollipop by the Chordettes, then end with Mr. Sandman. The other gentleman I was working with as an usher for the show learned to associate the opening notes of Lollipop as our que to start smiling and bopping our head along with the music as guests walked through the door. Then the opening notes of Mr. Sandman was our que to get ready, close the doors, and head inside for the show. I have to say, wearing my grandmother's "Sophisticated Ladies" stageolay production tophat from 1962 and listening to this as I ushered for a show I didn't win the audition for is the closest I've felt to stardom, and I think I'd prefer it this way. I loved ushering the show in my beautiful little dress & tophat. Always a good memory, and these songs will continue to remind me of that memory.

[@bighands69]

@@pamle1 I would say young people might start copying it today.

[@pheresy1367]

@@pamle1 I call BS on that story. What is the origin of it. In 1969, I remember trying to GET Doors tickets, but with NO success. The Doors were massively popular, and stopped performing because of Jim's arrest. Large venues were not allowing the Doors to book concerts. My point being, if you were fortunate to ACTUALLY get tickets to the Doors, you had to hustle, because they sold out instantly. Another thing, our culture was way more tolerant of drunken idiots pissing wherever outdoors. It wasn't seen as "obscenity" like now (as long as your back was to the public). It wasn't until long after Jim's death that "pooper scooper" laws were enacted anywhere. The signs read "please curb your dog". So there was dog shit EVERYWHERE. And it was tolerated.... so a dude pissing in the bushes wasn't a shock. So far, I've not yet seen any footage of Jim pissing on the wall in the back of the stage (lots of footage of Doors performances). All I find are obtuse references to that "fact". Sounds like a rumor echo chamber effect. About getting dressed up for a rock concert in 1969? Ha ha... the 50's were loooong gone by then. This response may seem way over the top, but I'm still a huge Doors fan, and the record of Jim Morrison's life story has become convenient mythology for anyone to use for the purpose of making a point. I'm actually challenging the "half the kids walked out" part of it, more than the "pissing on the back of stage wall" part. If kids did walk out, it was because Morrison wasn't sober enough to perform... Go see the movie "Woodstock" that came out in 1969, that'll give you a clue about the youth social moires of that time. ;-)
