WINTER PHOTOGRAPHY Winter Photography our love's in jeopardy Winter Photography our love's in jeopardy Sit up all night, talking, smoking Count the dead & wait for morning (Will warm names & faces come again Does the silver forest end?) Written as a poem and sung more as a song on the 1969 poetry session bootleg that became Rock Is Dead and later Lost Paris Tapes. He did a few poems like that Bird Of Prey, Whiskey, Mystics and Men, Orange County Suite, Under Waterfall.........more in the vein of the anceint Greek Roman poets than as an attempt to make a hit single......I doubt any of these were meant to be Doors songs although Whiskey, Mystics and Men did make it to a Doors session obviously. He talked to Peter Anderle (Elektras LA guy) and also Jac Holzman about putting out a poetry album minus any Doors input and Jac especially was keen on doing it.......sadly it never happened!

If he'd lived mate it would NEVER have appeared....his plan was for bits of sound effects and maybe some orchestral stuff....he did not for a second envisage The Doors being part of it........ THEY (Doors PLC) peddle the myth that Jim would have approved but THEY are selling a product.... This project was important to Jim and he would have been aghast to see what they did....Rothchild was right in his assessment in some respects but his 'rape' crack was a bit OTT....... AP was a decent tribute to Jim but if he had survived paris AP would have been a universe apart from whats in the shops.....
