It's sad that the only way The Doors get into a celebration of 50 years of rock under the banner 'The Music That Changed The World' is the Miami cock flash myth.
I totally agree that this music changed the world for the better forever but The Doors should be remembered for more than this crap.
Who do I blame for this?
100% Ray Manzarek.
Loads of rockers did worse shit than Jim but he gets rembered mainly for this. Manzarek has fed this bullshit to the media for so long now it's generally all the lazy bastards can come up with (not all of them it must be said) when they write about The Doors.
Even The Doors themselves wasted one eigth of their own documentary on this silly incident.
Pretty much says it all....Jim has no chance against these greedy opportunist.
Sad.

The first attempt (to record The End) was abandoned when Jim tripped out on acid decided to wreck the studio while repeatedly chanting the mantra 'fuck the mother kill the father'. Producer Paul Rothchild halted the session only to be called out in the middle of the night because Morrison had crept back in and was doing his best to destroy the studio with a fire extinguiser.
'Q' 50 Years Of R&R Special January 2004
No wonder Jim gets such a bad deal. This is absolute bullshit.
Yes Jim broke in and hosed the area where the band had been recording with a fire extinguisher but he did not 'wreck' the studio and The End was not halted because he was stoned on acid.
Where do these idiots get this crap from.
Jac Holzman told the studio to charge the minor damage to Elektra and I think took it out of The Doors advance.
They have taken several stories such as Jim chanting to psyche himself up for The End in the studio and Jim hosing the place down after the session to make Morrison out to be a total nutcase.
Again I blame Ray for all of this bullshit.
