The Doors were a group that crossed a large demographic.They were a unique group that crossed in blues, jazz, classical, and rock and roll musical genres. Morrison was a poet so the bands song lyrics often had multiple layers of meaning, both on purpose or ascribed to them. Within hearing the first few notes, you knew you were hearing a Door's song. They were a product of their time and drugs played a part in the creativity, and the destruction of the band. They were an experimental group, so it is fitting that Editor Diane added some experimental touches to this video.Well Done.

Jack Kerouac was one of writers of the Beat Generation and his major work is the novel On the Road (1957), based on his friendship with Neal Cassady and their continuous traveling back and forth all over the U.S. I think you're at the perfect age to read On the Road, it's a novel about youth and destiny and love and the meaning of life and it's MESMERISING. Don't know if you're much of a reader but it's really worth it (do NOT watch the silly movie they made out of it, it's worthless). The Beat writers were the immediate predecessors and mentors of the hippie generation The Doors belonged to.

LA at that time is totally different than now. This song captures the night life of LA in 1970, essentially around the Sunset Strip and Santa Monica Blvd. And then and again to parties at peoples houses. And the drugs and the sexuality amongst the young guys chasing women and the woman/girls going for it. SOOOO different than the scene today. LA Woman musically portrays what LA was like for the partiers in their early 20's in LA around the music scene. The best I can try to explain it. I was in my mid teens not far away when The Doors were discovered by the music industry while playing at The Whisky A-Go-Go. I really, really miss those days and can identify with Morrison's lamenting LA just before he died in Paris at 27 years old.

Hi Diane. First timer here. Really like your in depth research on the tune. Yes. I was 19 when this was released. The times were very different. No comparison at all to today. I was a huge Doors fan. You would mostly hear Doors tunes on FM radio. At the time there was no such thing as a Disco (Thank God). There were clubs and bars and concerts. The Doors appealed to a fairly select fan base. It was one of those you either love them or you hate them. I loved them until I discovered Prog Rock. Back then, Morrison was that baddest bad boy in rock. He moved to Paris to escape arrest here in the states. Love your reaction. I'll definitely be back. God bless everyone here. And Diane...stay groovy!

Austin Powers was decades after Jim Morrison lived and died. Mojo was mentioned in many blues songs which Morrison would have been familiar with (Muddy Waters - Got My Mojo Working). Austin Powers would have been informed by Morrison. This was played on the radio when it came out. Radio was very eclectic in the late 60s, early 70s, and FM radio was just becoming a big rock outlet at the time.

The Twist was from 1960. The Doors released their first album in 1967. No one was Twisting anymore in 1967. Certainly not in 1971 when LA Woman was released. Discos (or Disco music) wasn't really big until around 1977. I know in the UK they had their Northern Soul maybe a year or two earlier which was mostly obscure Motown and uptempo Soul songs.

The name "The Doors" is a shortened version of The Doors of Perception by Aldous Huxley. Jim was first and foremost a poet and his performances were more theatrical than most bands of the day. They also were heavily influenced by significant LSD usage. There is a show that was filmed in the Hollywood Bowl that is good for giving you the basic Idea and it's well worth your time to watch and perhaps also comment on. His poetry (lyrics) is very heavily visual and the imagery is fragmentary but coherent and not only tells the surface story but carries the subtext along with it. In an updated way he carried the beat poet idea into the rock and roll 60's, married them together and gave us this. Performance art on acid.

The Doors were definitely NOT a folk rock band. They were from LA, though, and were contemporaries of LA-based folk rock bands like The Byrds; Crosby, Stills & Nash; Buffalo Springfield; The Mamas & the Papas; etc. So that might be the connection. But whereas those bands would incorporate acoustic instruments along w electric, plus country stylings and a lot of vocal harmonies, the Doors did none of that. They were experimental/acid/rock and virtually all vocals were from Jim.

@padraigallen1553 6 ай бұрын

I found them to be a Fusion band combining Jazz, Blues, and Rock n Roll. All the musicians in the band were well versed in many genre of music. For example guitarist Robby Krieger played Spanish flamenco music and jazz. Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist, was classically trained and liked rock, jazz, blues, bossa nova. I was in high school in the 70's and this was not dance club music. We would play this really loud on car stereos while driving around, at house parties, and at underage keg parties in the woods. @@DianeJennings

Try also listening to Waiting for the Sun, Love Me Two Times, Love Her Madly, Hello, I Love You, Touch Me, The Crystal Ship, Spanish Caravan, Five to One, When the Music's Over, Break on Through. Those are all the good songs of the Doors, I thought of from the best of the doors album. The songs You have reacted to so far are really good too.

I enjoyed learning with You what the song was about and production of the song, Today. I did not know keyboardist Ray Manzarek said its it was about driving down the 405 freeway in L.A. makes sense why Jim Morrison put his Ford Mustang in the Music Video. In the Music Video it does show women of all cultures from all over the world.

Some of the greatest bands of the post-Beatles era - like Santana, Chicago, Yes, and the Doors - had a heavy jazz influence, along with rock and roll. That was an amazing time of blending genres, which produced fusion and prog rock. Such wonderfully inventive musicians!

It's easy to look up. The Twist was a song by early rock and roller Chubby Checker in 1958, so you know, early rock and roll. LA Woman came out in 1971, more than a decade later. So most likely, the dance was popular back in its time, but became outdated by the time the Doors were active. I can't say that I was ever a big fan of the Doors, but Light My Fire was certainly catchy, and I really liked the atmospheric moodiness of Riders On The Storm. Of course, everything I know about The Doors is after the fact--I was only 6 when LA Woman came out.

This song was played on rock radio. The Doors were pretty unique and distinctive. IF there was ever a band that played "dangerous" songs, it was the Doors. "The End" may be their most out of the box song of all.

Famous saying of drinkers: “You don’t buy beer, you only rent it!” The twist, a famous 50’s song by Chubby Checkers pre-dates L.A. Woman by at least a decade. I was a little too young at the time this came out to tell you what public venues this would have been played at.

@cjimmersive6955 6 ай бұрын

I was thinking of Chubby Checker's "Twist" as 50's too and was surprised to find it was released as late as 1960. Doors would be around seven years later in 1967.

@@cjimmersive6955 Hank Ballard's original version was released in late 1958. It was also a hit, though not nearly as big as Chubby Checker's version. But it did hit a respectable #16 on the charts.

OK. Hoping I can recreate my first comment. 😊😉 As usual great reaction! And no it wasn't in clubs. It was however played at places that today would be called hookah lounges, only the hookahs would have a different type of tobacco in them. Discotheques back then were different from those of today. Some of the bigger ones featured women dancers in "cages" up above the dance floor, and generally the music played was far more upbeat, and more pop than the Doors. In fact, the Beach Boys, Rolling Stones, Beatles, and groups like that are the music played in clubs back then. The Doors were one of those groups that many either hated, loved, or were "Meh". I am in the latter camp. With the exception of Riders on the Storm, and The End, pretty much every other Doors song was a car radio song for me. To give them credit though, they were really hitting their stride with the release of this album, and LA Woman was one of the hits from it. The Doors always managed a nice fusion or jazz, rock, and psychedelic rock. They were also one of those bands that would stretch a song out when they were playing live. They were also involved in two well known incidents that almost derailed their careers though. The first was, when they appeared on the Ed Sullivan Show, they were asked by a producer (some say at the behest of Ed himself) to change the lyric of the song they were going to sing from "Girl we can't get much higher" to "girl we can't get much better", because the word higher was associated with the drug culture. BUT...when they sang it, they sang it as originally written and were subsequently banned from the show, despite being a really popular act. The second was in Florida when Morrison was arrested during a concert for allegedly exposing himself on stage in front of the audience. He was charged with indecent exposure, fined a bunch of money, and sentenced to 6 months in jail. LA Woman is Jim Morrison's last album, because he died of either a drug overdose or alcohol poisoning in Paris not very long after he moved there. And like others, he was only 27.

Mr Mojo Risin is an anagram of Jim Morrison. L.A. Woman is a metaphor to the actual city rather than any one woman, or women. This was the last album that Jim performed on, after finishing it, he went off to Paris to recoup, with an actual goal to clean up, according to Ray Manzarek. Unfortunately he was dead a couple months later. This album is fire 🔥 The Chanegling IMO is the more rocking song on this album. As always Ms. Jennings does reactions the best !!! La Mejor 😉😎

Just wanted to say I have appreciated to your reactions as you really cover a wide variety of genres, you don’t have the same songs a lot of other channels have pandering to what gets lots of views, and you are sincere and honest in all of your genuine reactions. You really just seem to be honestly exposing yourself to new stuff and taking us along for the ride. Bravo, keep on being the genuine you, I think it has led to some quality content and as Squirrely Dan says, “and that’s what I appreciates about ya!”

This song is about Jim moving to Paris France (city of light) and saying goodbye to all the temptations of LA (murder madness). He left with Pam his girlfriend. "Mojo Risin'," is an anagram of his name "Jim Morrison" meaning a rebirth in Paris to cut out on the drugs and drinking and write poetry. The Doors record deal was done after this their 6th album. Jim moved to Paris and ODed on H July 3, 1971. He never heard the completed record.

The "Whisky a Go Go" is a famous bar in L.A. that a lot of bands played at when they were starting out. The Doors played there. It's where "go-go" dancers started. It might be what was referenced in the song, but it's just a guess.
