Is Rock n Roll Dead?

[David Guyatt]

"On September 17, 1967, The Doors gave a memorable performance of "Light My Fire" on The Ed Sullivan Show.[11] According to Ray Manzarek, network executives asked that the word "higher" be removed in favor of "better", as you could not say "high" on national television. The group initially agreed to this, but nonetheless performed the song in its original form anyways, either because they had never intended to comply with the request, or Jim Morrison was nervous and forgot to make the change (Manzarek has given conflicting accounts). Either way, "higher" was sung out on national TV, and a furious Ed Sullivan canceled another six shows that had been planned, to which Jim Morrison reportedly said to a show producer: "Hey man. We just did the Sullivan Show."[11]"

Much as I like that song, however, I have to stay with the theme of women and California: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41ohFqkhASU

And another one about a witch: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWzoHwP4T4g

And one about a lady named Juliet: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-G-GHTFoX4

Brilliant! All three.

Knofner's though, has always been a real favourite of mine. BIG heart in it.

But okay, the gauntlet is down.

Now we're gong on the really wild side.

You like French you two?

That wasn't a probing question or a suggestion, okay...

Take the man who could make a guitar sing. I refer to Hendrix naturally. Then set him in French Canada. Hendrix With A Twist.

Music is a BROAD church.
