Mr. Mojo Risin' is a anagram for Jim Morrison.

Great reaction and so chill doing it. Glad you dig The Doors. Jim Morrison was a poet. He loved reading poetry and writing it. Poetry became The Doors lyrics. Beautiful stuff

Mr. Mojo was nickname for the pusher! But if you look closely "Mr. Mojo risin'" is the anagram for "Jim Morrison" !

Think of Mr. Mojo Risin as when Tom Marvolo Riddle changes and arranges his letters around to be I am Lord Voldemort -- Jim was ahead of his time LOL also the woman Jim is singing about is the city LA --- as if she were a living breathing woman

The Doors are fantastic ! Enjoy LA - I love LA. Haven't been there in years. ❤🎉

❤❤❤Best driving song ever.

Imo, this song, & this whole album , is their masterpiece...especially this crazy epic love song to a particular city (as has been said the “woman” in this song IS los angeles, & this is jim’s ode to it)...this was on their last album, the whole album is hard rocking & bluesy af....they went out with a bang....it bugs me a little to see all the photos of young, beautiful, pretty boy jim, because when they recorded this (about 8, or so months before jim’s death) jim was a bit bloated from all the beer & whiskey & food & was HEAVILY bearded, he just a big, grizzly, poet’s beard, or something, he looked like paul cezanne the french post-impressionist painter...and jim would soon move to france, (where, unbeknownst to him, he would die),, so, anyway, this song was kind of a good-bye to los angeles....lastly, , awesome reaction, i knew youd love it...i knew youd either stand up & walk around, or come close to doing so, haha

"MoJo" is found in a lot of rock and blues songs. Mojo was a voodoo token (maybe an animal's hand) that people keep with them for good luck

Fun fact, they didn’t have a bassist, the keyboardist played the bass as well as the other stuff on keyboards.

The performance on the Ed Sullivan Show was too good to be true they played { people are strange and Light my fire} must see best live performances by the band ever.

I love that you love the doors! Not too many people get it .. at least any i know in real life . But thats ok.🦎💜

Another lost angel here 🌠

mr mojo risin is an anagram of the lead singers name.... but its also an old blues metaphor, for getting ones sexual energy going. & its also become symbolic in amer vernacular, esp in sports or financial competition is building up momentum.... as much as morrison read & how much he was into symbolic density w/ word usage, my guess is hes combining all 3. & since the song is about LA and the culture itself, hes reflecting the ebb and flow & boom & bust of how our amer culture cyclically shifts & evolves. it also draws out a cinematic large scape view.... his ability to create density of meaning into what at first glance may seem simple, was unmatched in popular music. he could write like a frost, crane or blake in using sparse symbolist technique. then bead the meanings together in the particular work to reflect a much deeper perspective & view on a theme.... he does it on riders too.

L.A. Woman closes out Side A of the final Doors' album. I was introduced to them by their one and only Ed Sullivan Show tv performance. I was only 7 at the time but I remember Jim being front and center! ❤

Hey Pope! Hope you are well? THE DOORS! Awesome title track from a great album! Enjoy!🔈🔉🔊🔊🔊🔊🔊😎

🦎🤴...I grew up in LA when this came out. Fun times. 👍❤🤙💋💋💋

What is considered the City of Light is Paris, where Jim passed. LA is the City of Night, because the underlying sleasiness tends to become emboldened iat night and reveal itself. Mr. Mojo Risen is an anagram for Jim Morrison. It's fun that Jim played with us. We needed the frivolity, particularly at the time.

I am the city of Light. Only the one in France. lol The Doors were super big when I was in grade school. I liked some of their songs but, never got that much into them. But, this one was a favorite. Of the late 60s icons I am a fan of Miss Janis Joplin. Oh, that lady can sing some blues....and rip your heart out with it. I listened to rock n roll since the beginning of the Beatles in first grade. My mom was one of those parents who was not appalled by rock and let my brother and me grow up listening to it with records and our transistor radios. When I became a teen buying albums and getting heavy into music my band was Led Zeppelin. They were music and still are. But, that is not to take away from the Doors who were a fun and rebellious band when it was very daring to be so.

I liked how you were waiting, even "conducting," for The Drop around 7:15, and then when it happened you were visibly moved, lol!

Hi Pope!. This song is such a banger and I do believe it was an ode to Ray Manzarek's girlfriend as well as to the city of LA itself. Mr. Mojo Risin' = Jim Morrison. Keep On Risin' ! When you getting back to Floyd with, "Let There Be More Light" ? 😎

LA is the woman. The city of light 🕯️

I was born in L. A. (Hawthorne, to be exact), and while I have lived most of my life in New York...Los Angeles is in my blood. Cities are a lot like women, complex, and multi-faceted, with something that draws you toward them (for better or worse), and once you leave, they are a part of you forever. Anyway...that's my take. As always...superb and insightful reaction. Keep on risin'...✌😎

Pope, I am so grateful for you because it is people like you who keep The Doors music alive. I truly love how much you enjoy their music. 😊

Mr. Mojo Risin is an anagram of Jim Morrison.

Pam & Jim were tragically, in love, but at least they had their time together. Pam died 3 yrs after Jim.❤ The Doors ...Way ahead of their time, I was 9 or 10, first listening 😅 Mr. Mojo was Jim..😅

I think it's a damn cool thing that anytime I'm in the right frame of being for a 24-mile bike ride (weather permitting), I can hop in the saddle and, in a little more than an hour, go wheeling past the house where the guy playing keys on this grew up...🎹

One of the best ever!❤

Love the Doors! It takes me back to walking along Ocean Blvd in Coronado, CA on my way to the beach. Psychedelic vans parked along the street playing this and other great songs! Yes, I did live on the island in middle school. I had no idea how good I had it!

I believe Mr. Mojo Risen has most letter to “Jim Morrison “

So happy you listened to this man. Thank you

Billy Idol also did a great cover.

I'm just another lost angel as it happens. Thanks for asking.

POPE, you have good taste, and you are a good, interesting writer. The world is your oyster.

Bad ass music I listened to 50 years ago! The absolute best!

The woman in LA Woman IS the city of LA.

It's a badass song

if you unscramble "mr. mojo risin'", you get "jim morrison"

Absolutely the best ❤❤

I can't write anymore. The only line I've written in the last two years is: monsters and genius create quiet ideas That's it.

The picture after the "city of night" one is a fake, probably made for some biographical movie. Here's a long time Doors fan 🙋🏻‍♀️(I only recommend you the Oliver Stone movie with Val Kilmer, it almost nailed it)

love that proto Motorik beat

Mojo....morrison jim...mojo...mr mojo

Pope-alicous

Greatness

You better still be writing POPE. Don't stop writing!

Correct. The "woman" is the city of LA. Listen again, it all makes sense. Other channels think its about women.

10:43 The question could refer to anyone but, "lucky little lady," is catchy and meaningful. A "lucky little person," doesn't have the same ring to it. Some synonyms that might have worked instead of lady: mortal, being, spirit. "Lady," is two syllables.

There's no reason that you can't be both..you're lucky that you're a lost angel...

The woman is the city of LA itself. Not a actual person

the phrase “mr. mojo risin’” is jim’s name “jim morrison” all scrambled up....with the letters in a different order...im sure u know, but thats called an anagram, where the letters of someone’s name are all rearranged to make a new word, or phrase, to describe that person who’s name it is

It is his name rearranged

Mr Mojo Risin is the letters of Jim Morrison rearranged...

The woman is Los Angeles.

Aye mate, enjoying all your reactions but that was top of the list, really got the foot tapping, three cheers to you thanks

I played this on 8track back in the 70s! No one got it. Whit boy did though!

Listen to Riders on the Storm

Jim Morrison took th mo from Morrison and the J from Jim added the o to it and got Mo-jo rison

IF THEY SAY I NEVA LOVED YOU YOU KNOW THEY ARE A LIAR!

Jim Morrison was one of the best in his time ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

👹 👆mojo rising

We two, we like more of the psychodelic ones, right?

He's kinda referring to Los Angeles as l.a woman Mr MOJO risin is Jim Morrison mixed up

He's singing about the city not a woman
