"THEY CAN KEEP THEIR DIRTY HABITS TO THEMSELVES
By: Jerry Hopkins
There more Doors concerts have been cancelled-thanks to city authorities in St. Louis and Honolulu who think the group's vocalist Jim Morrison is "obscene."
The Doors had been scheduled to appear in St Louis on June 13 and in Honolulu July 3 & 4, but in the first city the city council, stepped in and in Hawaii, Honolulu's mayor made his feelings known. Thumbs down on The Doors both places.
In the two cities it was determined that because Morrison had been charged with public drunkenness and exhibitionism, among other things, well…The Doors could just keep their dirty old habits to themselves. This, despite city attorneys advising the council in St Louis that the council had no legal right to make such a ruling.
The St Louis show was to have been the first performance by the Elektra group since the charges, still intried, were filed in Miami the first week in March. The Doors went on to Chicago, performing there June 14. Both Chicago shows were sold out.
From Chicago the band went to Minneapolis for an additional show, then were set to appear in Mexico City’s largest bullring, the Plaza Monumental, July 28. In addition, the group also will be appearing at the Aquarius Theatre in Los Angeles (The West Coast home of Hair) in July…and current plans call for another seven concerts in the U.S. in August.
