THE DOORS - Maggie M'Gill

[@chrismalaney2959]

Hands down. The best drunken poet this side and the other side of this cruel world.

what aboot Shane Macgowan? lend me ten pounds and i`ll buy you a drink

[@sarahgray430]

I think most of the great poets were drunk off their asses. I like Jim Morrison and Leonard Cohen the best of the 20th Century, but the 19th Century Romantic poets like Byron, Keats and Shelley are just as good, and the absolute greatest was Robbie Burns!

Discovering the doors music over the last year and half has been an amazing journey so far. Knowing these guys only played music for about 5 years and they made so much good stuff makes me believe they really are the best band ever!!

"Mom met Dad in the back of a rock-n-roll car." one of Jim's lyrical gems.

[@modulo64]

What does he means exactly with thia phrase

[@bwanna23]

@@modulo64 He means to create an image of the day's young people would go 'parking' meaning' pull off the road in a secluded area and engage in various levels of lovemaking. Often with rock n roll music playing.

[@modulo64]

@@bwanna23 Thank you very much for your answer

[@victorking7422]

​@@modulo64In Jim's day & time era illegitimate child birth (birth out of wedlock) was a seriously heavy social stigma, that child being labelled a 'bastard' in the original meaning of the word. So the lines: "illegitimate son of a rock n roll star", "Mum met dad in the back of a rock & roll car" are pure genius, heavy lyrics, arguably in their time as controversial, dammingly derogatory & insulting to someone in a style & fashion similar used by today's rap artist. Doesn't quite have the same gravitas today as it once did but still Pure genius nonetheless 😊

[@victorking7422]

​@@modulo64I'd also add the phase subtlely implies the 'person' being referred to was illegitimately conceived after mum was f**ked in the back of a rock n roll car. Like she may've simply been a groupie or maybe something more, like a lover or gf but no marriage.

[@bmillerdrums]

Unbelievable how much music these guys put out to the world, not to mention the quality, in only 3 yrs! That blows me away that so many amazing songs were written and laid down on such classic records in such a short period of time. That's what a lot of casual admirers of this band don't really recognize bc bands like the Stones have a lot of great songs but over decades really.

[@timmcfalls2012]

Yea, like Hendrix.

[@darringalloway]

Uh, the Doors made music for 5 years, 1967-1971.

[@lukewiddrington6622]

The stones suck lol they have a couple good songs really. The get over played alot but honestly the doors and led zeppelin are the greatest rock bands ever.

[@MrAlkanet-nt9ic]

i was literally thinking along those line just before i saw yr comment, being that this was not 'typical' doors song i imagined how much more they had in them, but non the less, it's better to have a legend, even a myth than just another Stones or some such

Combining wicked blues with some psychedelic garage rock shows this an amazing song. I thing rock started hitting its stride with the Doors and other bands in1969 &70's. This song/album and others are not time stamped. They are timeless creations of pure creativity.

[@RojotheRed]

Great job on the Video. This song is such a great example of the Doors playing some great blues. The Doors are like a gem. So many different facets, so many ways to behold them. The American Prayer album, in my opinion was their apex, MAINLY because they finally reached their goal of putting Jim's poetry to music, using the "spoken word", and released it into the mainstream music of that era. The dilemma that plagued Jim the most was to be accepted as a spoken/written poet. Peace..

[@josannahowell2461]

At 11 years old and my sister show me 15 years old in spring of 1969 Jim Morrison it was a new experience and he expressed his deep felt in his poetry . The song The end was playing on my turntable on my stepfather came in and said you should not be listening to this my sister and I looked at him puzzled asking why? He just walked out . We grew up fast the sad war killing America and the assassination of our well loved by all the Kennedy brothers. We appreciate the new sound of Jim Morrison'. 1969

I looked it up recently. It is on Hope St, facing west, just about even with the Staples Center. Somebody repainted the window, as on the cover, and LA had its official Day of the Doors there in January. Not clear what is going to become of the building, if anything.

[@darringalloway]

[@paulguzman1634]

This one stuck in my head the first time I heard it as well way back when! Better today somehow, but that is just me!

[@darringalloway]

@@paulguzman1634 It's the whole package. The lyrics, the silly story about Maggie, then some classic ramblings of Jim Morrison about illegitimate kids being conceived in the back of a car and then topping it off with the bold claim of how he's been singing the blues since the world began when DUDE!, last year you were singing The Soft Parade! Haven't even mentioned the driving beat and Kreiger & Manzarek trading licks on guitars. Heck, I don't know why it doesn't get radio play, but for me it's always been like a little known special treasure. Yeah, I dig Maggie M'Gill...

[@stacyblue1980]

Your preference for this song is not odd at all. I favor the Morrison Hotel album, even though, I love all the Doors albums. Everything.
