My sister and I were actually just talking about this the other day. I was HUGE into grunge (as much as I could be for growing up in cleveland & not seattle, which I plan to visit one day cuz it just seems that it would be beautiful) but I was more of a Pearl Jam/Mother Love Bone/Soundgarden/Nirvana girl (pearl jam mainly, I was in LOVE with Eddie and Jeff!)....for whatever reason, I didn't get into Alice in chains, I mean, I liked them, but I wasn't like crazy over them like I was the other bands....but I'm finding that the older I get, the more I love them! When I was pregnant, the only music my daughter reacted to was them.....she LOVED them! They just have such a great sound and great guitar and everything is just great! such a talented band!
I actually just started reading this book today, it's called 'Grunge is Dead" and the guy that "wrote" it, only wrote the intros....the entire book is all written from interviews with the bands! So far, I've only read the intro, but I'm impressed so far! I got it from the library, so check it out if you were/are a grunge fan!...you'd probably like it!

oh and by the way, thanks for sharing that picture! That is AWESOME! I'm gonna have to save it so that I can use it for wallpaper after I'm done with the New Moon wallpaper. (which will probably be awhile!)

and by old age, I'm only 30.....so not really old, just a figure of speech! and right now I'm trying to remember my favorite doors song and between fighting to keep my eyes open and soul one being so etched in my brain from listening to it like 12 times today, I can't think of the title of even one doors song right now! lol

There is a new Doors documentary called When You're Strange. It just came out. It premiered at the Sundance Film Festival. I haven't seen it yet, but it looks awesome because it has tons of unseen footage. OMG I'M SLIPPING IN MY OLD AGE! I had no idea about that! Do you have any more details? I am probably one of the biggest Doors fans you will find (you know, that wasn't alive while Jim was...lol) I have spent years and years listening to them! I've read a bunch of the books....(including Patricia's book, which I took with a grain of salt), I have all of the studio recordings twice over (i bought them and then my a guy at work that I guess would have been a supervisor and I babysat for him got me the boxset...and then I have another box set...t-shirts, pajamas and I have a bunch of old records in excellent condition which I've framed (including one, that through some research I found is an original of one that was rereleased and the original release was only produced in a very small quantity so is pretty rare....it helps to work for a radio station!) and I actually met Ray back, oh, I don't know, maybe 7 years ago! I live in Cleveland, and he came to the rock hall to do his show, which was really cool. He just got up on stage with a keyboard, told stories about being in the doors and played here and there in between. He was THE NICEST coolest guy! He signed a ton of autographs and took pictures with everyone! I don't have them scanned in, but if I get the chance I'll get it in to share! Anyone that wishes to, please feel free to pm me about the doors any time! People understand my doors fascination more than they do my blind melon one, but I still don't have any huge fans over here that will listen to me just be utterly stupid about them! oh and speaking of the rock hall, they had, for what seemed like a long time, a full doors exhibit. Actually, you can't really call it an exhibit, it'd be more accurate to call it a floor! You should have seen all the cool stuff! Notes and pictures and drawings and report cards from when Jim was in gradeschool....tons and tons of stuff! They literally had to force me out of there at closing time! ok, I could go on forever, like I said, anyone who wants to chat about the doors, I'm here!

I agree that he wasn't just a pretty face, I love his words, and I'm here because of those as well, but the pretty face didn't hurt anything!........

I agree, I love Daniel, but not for BM....maybe if Eddie Vedder were to quit Pearl Jam.....he'd be PERFECT for that gig....
