JIM MORRISON December 8th 1943 - July 3rd 1971| THE DOORS

Light My Fire - (Ed Sullivan Show)

I love the story about playing the Sullivan show having been brow beaten to change the lyrics from "girl we couldn't get much higher" and Jim agreed played live and went ahead and said 'higher' anyway. Ed Sullivan is said to have been incandescent with rage and said 'You will never play the Sullivan Show again!' and Jim is said to have smirked back and said
"We just did it!"

I thought what we were doing might last a decade or so, but I had no idea our lead singer was tapping into a core of universal sound vibrations, sonic waves that would reverberate for fifty years, that continue to resonate to this day...john densmore
