I would like to know when the Sundance channel will be running the movie,
“Very Strange Indeed.” Could you get back to me?

Thanks,

The Doors were a great band. I still love their music. But to here it on TV all the time,it would become Doors overkill.Dontcha think.Oh ya nice slide on Moonlight Drive Robbie Krieger.

I don’t really have a problem with songs I grew up with
being used in advertising (like I used to). I would only
hope that they were products the artists believed in.
Of course we can’t know what Jim would have thougth
about the various offers had he lived, so it is left to the
remaining three to decide.

I look forward to seeing this documentary!

Ray, I love your perspective on just about everything. You top my list of people I’d like to sit and talk with – informal interview style. It was Chevy who had Seger’s song in an ad and it did wonders only for Chevrolet and Bob himself. Zero musical output from him for many years, that’s not a career anymore, that’s a retirement. I agree that the income would be great for you, however let’s have a “Doors Unplugged” like you did “Storytellers”, or make a better movie. Keep releasing Bright Midnight stuff! Please, never let Doors music become a commercial. The Who can sell out (again and again), please not the Doors. More concert films – I know they exist! HWY and Feast of Friends are two that I cannot yet find on the shelves.

That topic aside, my point in many forums has been like that of Tom DiCillo’s – what about the band? Jim, I love all of his work and everything, it’s that the Doors as a band were the complete package. Allusions to classical and jazz, I love the music thoroughly as it is unique. My current read is Jerry Hopkins’ “Lizard King” book, where late era interviews with Jim are published in the back and in there Jim even says that you guys are fantastic musicians and should do instrumentals. I would love to hear Doors style takes on the work of others, yes, a covers album. Different singers if needed.

Again to Ray, I love that quote – the different versions of the Doors story… I’ve read nearly all – Robbie, when is yours going to be published?

Above all, I personally want to thank you. Ray, Robbie, John… and Tom – I look forward to seeing this.
