Happy Birthday to the Queen of Rock n Roll, @janisjoplin.
She was a powerhouse - I first saw her perform with Big Brother and the Holding company at the Avalon and I was amazed at her talent, then again at @woodstock 1969.

You might have heard the phrase “eat your words” before, but have you ever heard “eat your shoes?”
On this day in 2009, I visited the Hollywood Life House Suite.

Happy Birthday to the great Jim Ladd.
In many ways, I consider Jim the “fifth Door.” He is the “Last DJ” - he never let corporate America tell him what to play. A true friend and a true legend.

The Doors’ connection to Los Angeles has always been at the heart of our story. As fires continue to impact the region, we want to do our part in supporting the local music community.
If you’re looking for ways to help, visit the link in bio for resources and donation opportunities to aid musicians and their families as they recover from this devastation. Together, we can stand strong for L.A.

SUPER COOL!
Years ago, a fan who owns a carpet shop Silk Road gallery (@silkroadthestore) in the city of Yazd, was listening to “Riders on the Storm,” when my friend/neighbor (Dave licht and his wife) walked in! The owner gifted us some beautiful pieces.
SHOP LOCAL AND AVOID CORPORATE GREED. Be sure to check this beautiful store out.
Happy Birthday @officialrobbykrieger.

Remembering Danny Sugerman.
Danny started with The Doors at just 13 years old, answering fan mail for us and creating a scrap book.
Thinking of you today.
