THE DOORS - L.A. Woman | REACTION

[@michaeldezego340]

The phrase Mr Mojo Risin is a scramble of his name Jim Morrison. All the same letters. I’m 64 years old and have been listening to this music since it came out. My brother is 10 years older than me and I listened to everything he listened to, classic rock, early sixties and Motown.

[@LVVMCMLV]

It is an anagram of his name...An anagram is a word or phrase that is formed by rearranging the letters of another word or phrase

[@michaeldezego340]

@@LVVMCMLV Thanks. I actually know that but my 64 year old brain is getting more forgetful and I couldn't remember the word. Sometimes it's a little frustrating.

Hello Michael. Check this video where John Densmore, drummer of The Doors gives more explainations on the meaning of the word Mojo and why he slowly increases the tempo in the middle section of the song : kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoPMdYuGZdmpgtEsi=6MjmoouG3xeZO3x1

Same here! Almost 64😂and The Doors Never get old!

And then, out of nowhere, a beautiful, friendly cat showed up! Awesome!

[@ShawnSalvadori]

You know it 😂😁 she's amazing

[@plantfeeder6677]

One of the best driving songs ever. Has everything. Even appeals to gatos😂

[@coffee-xg6my]

This and Riders on the Storm have always my two favorite Door songs.

[@jenniferfoster1692]

They had already acheived astronomical heights in their success by the time Jim died. They have so many iconic songs, and I mean really iconic. People Are Strange, Riders on the Storm, Light My Fire, L.A. Woman, Touch Me, Break on Through, The End, Roadhouse Blues, Love Her Madly, Hello I Love You, Five to One, Love Me Two Times...it goes on and on. These songs have been in so many movies/tv shows, they're easily recognizable even if someone doesn't know it's the Doors, but they're in the culture now.

[@Kckier]

Touch Me is my favorite! ❤

[@bobschenkel7921]

Mr. Mojo Risin' is a anagram for Jim Morrison's name. He is also known as The Lizard King. "L.A. Woman" is a dark song, with warnings about the underbelly of any big city, but Los Angeles in particular. Some of the lines like "Motel, Money, Murder, Madness, Let's make the move from glad to sadness" and "Are you a lucky little lady in the city of lights, or just another lost angel, city at night", really set the dark tone. I don't think there are any live versions of the songs on this album by The Doors because it came out so close to Jim's passing, anyone know any different? The cat, Pepper, was too cute for words.

[@Mark-jk1jv]

Absolutely agree with your comments. The Doors are beyond great.

[@brianfisher6165]

I grew up in LA and in the😂 late 70’s. I drove a 65 Chevelle convertible Blasting the Doors, Beatles, Led Zeppelin, Kinks, Alice Cooper, Deep Purple, Grateful Dead, Eagles, Queen, Rush, Yes, Pink Floyd etc!!! I went to countless concerts, at least a couple hundred!!!👌 I’m so grateful to have lived through that time!!!👌👍✌️😁

[@bradsense7431]

Absolutely right Shawn, this is a song to be playing loud while driving fast.

[@tracyyork1428]

Yep, one of my favorite 'highway' songs. This song has probably generated many thousands of speeding tickets.

[@827dusty]

This song is not about a "woman." (human wise,) It's about the city of Los Angles. The lyrics make this perfectly clear. "I see your hair is burning," refers to the Hollywood Hills that grass that catch fire each year from the warm Santa Anna winds every late summer into fall. "Driving down your Freeway," and many more. It's about the Love Morrison had for this city in the 1960s. I doubt he'd still feel the same today, as L.A. is a dump.

[@marymargaretmoore9034]

Great classic song by the Doors. Love your kitty; so cute!

[@LVVMCMLV]

Another great song/album from 1971

[@bobdelp2023]

ONE OF THE TOP TRANSITIONS IN A ROCK SONG SHAWN 😊LETS CHANGE THE MOOD FROM GLAD TO SADNESS, YIKESSSSS!😮👍

[@KevinRCarr]

Looking forward to watching you listen to this, after I take grandchild home to his parents. This was the first album I bought with my own money, in 8th grade. I'd been buying "single" records for a few years by then, but this was special. I was already a Doors fan because my older brother had a couple of their albums, but when this album was released and the song Riders on the Storm hit the radio airwaves, big bro was off in the navy, so I had to pony up the big bucks to buy the album for myself. This is a great song, it will be interesting to hear what you think of it.

[@KevinRCarr]

After: Yep, you loved it as much as I expected you would. Great song...but I repeat myself.

[@Canucklehead557]

The bass player on this track was Jerry Schiff. He was Elvis Presley's bassist for years.

[@mmangum4444]

Shaw, it was not only an endless introduction to new music from different artists & groups, but also purchasing and owning the best sounding audio equipment you could afford to listen to that made the period from the 60s to the 90s music heaven.

[@suesmith7968]

Exactly!!! In my ragtop - that’s where it sounded best (besides headphones)!! Coincidentally, my cat jumped into my lap while I was watching. But there is no way to sit still while listening to this song, so she didn’t stay. Another great reaction! ☮️❤️

[@shirleybhs9zd6li5i]

Love The Doors, but Pepper stole my heart with her adorable head bump. Beautiful kitty. Great reaction too, lol.😻

[@ShawnSalvadori]

[@vincentvancraig]

Goat tune…imo, their mature masterpiece, the song & album of the same name…just bad ass from the first song to the last.

[@stevedahlberg8680]

It truly is a brilliant piece of work. Are you familiar with an extremely important punk band out of Los Angeles named X? John Doe, Exine Cervenka, and DJ Bonebreak., but Ray Manzarek, the keyboard player from The Doors produced that album and also played on it Every song on it is fantastic and it just took the counterculture nation by storm. Ray is heavily featured on at least a couple songs, but he is just so heavy on the keyboards on Nausea. Add one of my favorite songs on the album is actually a doors cover, with Ray Manzarek leading the way, Soul Kitchen. They all just totally kill it.

[@ShawnSalvadori]

Can't say I've ever heard of X, only Static-X which is a completely different band that I really like, but might send most of the audience who tune in running for their earmuffs 😄😜

[@anthonyblakely399]

John Densmore is one of the most tasteful & underrated drummers ever, His style is why I switched from guitar to drums 27 years ago.

[@andylawson87]

The Doors pretty much got blacklisted after Jim Morrison was arrested for indecent exposure at a 1969 Miami concert.

[@jonathanmurphy3141]

Don’t just credit Jim - Ray, Robbie, and John were the musical heart (with some session players, like they didn’t have a bass player in the band). While Jim gets credit for most lyrics, the other three did write music, credit for lyrics , especially when Jim was so addicted. My favorite Doors albums are Waiting for the Sun, LA Woman, their 1967 origin, and Morrison Hotel. I’ve visited Jim’s grave in Paris -you have too. 😎

Although there was some "artistic license" applied to the story, to get a great timeline of the DOORS watch Oliver Stone's THE DOORS movie starring Val Kilmer. It shows about 60% of the total story with a lot of dramatic scenery.

This was one of those songs that you turned the radio up full blast. The Doors were unique, to say the least. Love your song choices and commentary. Turning the City into a Woman was pure inspiration. Even the Cat was rockin'.

[@ptrlxc]

Definitely a road trip song, but beware of speeding tickets. I lived in a big city on the west coast and it took me 20 hours of driving to go back to my hometown; this song was a must have during the trip.

[@joelliebler5690]

The band’s members were all great musicians and Jim led the way with his strange prose and vocal uniqueness!The Doors were together only a few years because of Jim’s untimely passing.In an environment of hundreds of fantastic musicians The Doors were dominating the scene and would have through at least the mid 1970’s!

You can find on youtube a video to "LA Woman" with Jim Morrison driving an old mustang in LA and the desert, it is very interesting and eerie. I guess a camera person was in the car with Jim the whole time filming,, but it is really great to watch. Jim stops at a gas station puts gas in his car then back on the road. Towards the end of the video while Jim is driving, the radio is on and a DJ says "Jim Morrison has been found dead" and this is while Jim is driving the car! Whoever put this video together did a great job.

[@Prone2Thrill]

For perspective you could watch the movie with Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison.

Remember this when it came out. Probably my fave Doors album, but they're all cool. Highly recommend either Twentieth Century Fox, or Cars Hiss By My Window, but there's so many good songs to pick from.

[@tammydean3003]

My all time favorite by the Doors. Them keys are really on fire the whole time. Check out the music video from 1971. 🔥

[@PlutoAnn]

Jim Morrison a real treasure, we would always be out cruising in the car somewhere and this song always got played in the car 😂☺😂Love the Pepper kitty. They were a great band with some of the best music but Jim would show up to concerts so trashed he could barely stand. So people were often disappointed in their concerts in Seattle anyway. But Morrison was a great poet and sadly joined the dead at 27 club. One of his most interesting songs to me is " The Wasp "

[@jenniferfoster1692]

Pepper is so gorgeous and she was showing her sweet side for us. Glad she's getting more and more comfortable with your family.

[@Rhiannon011]

@@bobbyg7102 My three favorite doors songs are "Not to touch the earth", "The Soft parade" and "Texas radio and the big beat". Did you know that "Texas radio and the big beat" song is based on Wolfman Jacks' "late night radio"?

Between the poetry and charisma of Jim Morrison and the musical skills of John Densmore, Robby Krieger, and Ray Manzarek The Doors could induce a trance or spark a riot and sometimes did both............ Musically, it was an interesting time to be alive. Step on through into their music, you'll be anything but bored......

[@rubbersole79]

Lot's of great Doors song. Not sayin' it's their best, but it's always been one of my favorites. Fun fact for guitar geeks. Robby Krieger liked his strings heavy........and DEAD. He'd save old strings so he'd never have to use new ones.

Your brother loved the doors. That is awesome and understandable. But I just looked at your published Doors reactions, and don't see "Light My Fire". Does that mean you haven't heard that song? If you have not, then it is an absolute must.

[@will-x9c]

Great driving song. Musically the Doors were absolutely first rate but somewhat underappreciated in their time due to being overshadowed by Jim Morrison's dark and strange personality. Jim was a very heavy drinker, among other things, and I've always thought that he sounds drunk in this song. Which only adds richness to his vocals IMO. It's good that you are exposing your cat to great music; he/she will thank you for it. My cat is a big Johnny Winter fan

If you really want to get a feel for the doors and Morrison there are a few things. 1, Watch the Movie with Val Kilmer playing Morrison. Think it was called The Doors. 2. realize the Vietnam War at the time, and today, we know Jim's Dad, was the Rear Admiral in charge of the Gulf of Tonkin Incident that got us into the War, and we also know that was a 'false flag' and never actaully happened.
