Music Geek Artifact #1. I sent this ‘complaint letter’ to the Rolling Stone magazine editors circa 1990. David Fricke went on to write many fitting tributes to Roky Erickson in the following years. Thank you, David. “I was shocked and pleased to read that Roky Erickson had finally got on stage again. I understand that his performance wasn’t the best but Fricke’s review reduced this legendary Texan into a poster boy for the repercussions of drug abuse. Rather than pumping out special double issues about groups like the Beatles and Led Zeppelin (which everyone already respects and admires) introduce your readers to the 13th Floor Elevators and Roky Erickson by documenting them in their salad days. I just wanted you to know that a weak one paragraph review and a postcard size picture is not a fitting tribute for a psychedelic trailblazer like Roky. - Jim Salinger, Audubon PA” #rokyerickson #13thfloorelevators #rollingstonemagazine #davidfricke #youregonnamissme (at Laurel Canyon, Los Angeles) https://www.instagram.com/p/CC2Cq3GJh38/?igshid=tj3erlsu0s7n

THE DOORS - Mr. Mojo Risin': the Story L.A. Woman

L.A. Woman, the quintessential Doors record, not only highlights the band’s initial quest for jazz, but it stands as the last album the band made with frontman Jim Morrison. In Mr. Mojo Risin’, the Doors’ journey, up until its last breath, is displayed in all of its facets, and then some.

Densmore, Krieger and Manzarek smile in front of the camera and relive the glory days of a once deep blue dream they shared with Mr. Mojo Risin’. Commentary includes L.A. Woman’s engineer and producer providing insight as to why the album, recorded at the Doors’ Santa Monica Boulevard rehearsal space, allowed the band to travel beyond the doors of perception, compared to their previous Sunset Sound sessions. Each track is dissected by those who know the subjects best, including Rolling Stone senior writer David Fricke.

Gems from the vault, like an unreleased “She Smells So Nice” and never-before-seen video footage, provide something for even the most veteran fan. Although Morrison bade farewell to the city and people he loved, especially on the title track, the Doors did not burn out nor did they fade away. They are still on fire and Mr. Mojo Risin’: The Story of L.A. Woman confirms it.
