The Doors
Comment:
Truth was the Doors’ torch, and they clutched it firmly, even as the ground beneath them began to rock and crumble. For all the stories of excess and misadventures, the Doors were, at heart, seekers, probing and pushing for some essential truth in an absurd world. Psychically scarred from living in the Bomb’s shadow, infected with Nietzsche’s nihilism [i]and[/i] Rimbaud’s doomed romanticism, it’s small wonder they exhibited multiple personalities. Musically and lyrically, they crossed oceans and continents in a frenzied search for a lost, unifying chord — in the drones of India’s [i]ragas[/i], the fluttering glissandos of Spanish flamenco, the woeful baying of a chicken-shack blues harp — that might bring harmony to their restless souls. Jim Morrison said it best himself, defining both the band’s mission and their dilemma: “There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors.”
