The Doors, eh? Reminds me of when I was in Toronto -- 1966, 67? Big news on the street was that the Beatles were releasing an album about some sergeant and his band -- Sgt Preston? Sgt York? Something like that.
So I'd hitchhiked in from San Francisco and was slumming around Yorkville, the bohemian district. An unmarked white van was wandering through the neighborhood, the driver offering free transport to a free concert. I climbed in, was passed a joint, was hauled to the CBC studios. The Doors were doing a live nationwide show and an audience was needed, so there I was a few feet from Gyrating Jim (sullen, dressed all in white) and the crew. Afterwards, all the attendees were transported back to our pickup points. Pretty classy operation!
