“L.A. Woman” is the title track to the final album released by The Doors during lead singer Jim Morrison’s lifetime. In the song’s bridge Morrison riffs on the phrase Mr Mojo Risin’, being an anagram of his name.
Morrison was an intellectual; a voracious reader who aspired to be a poet and is said to have asked his parents for the complete works of Nietzche upon completing high school. He enrolled in film school at UCLA in the early 60’s where he met another film student, Ray Manzarek, with whom he would form The Doors. Works previously intended as poetry were now introduced to Manzarek as songs.
Unlike contemporaries Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix, The Doors declined to play Woodstock in 1969. However, The Doors still went on to become one of the most influential, controversial and iconic rock bands of the sixties.
'Morrison saw poetry as an art form used to push the boundaries of convention and of reality. The concerts of The Doors were infamous for Jim's wild Dionysian use of poetry to incite his audience into a state of reckless abandonment and transcendence.' Morrison claimed he drank so he could write poetry, but the truth was he could be mean and deeply unpleasant when drunk. A potentially amorous liaison with Janis Joplin soured when Morrison became violent and aggressive, causing Joplin to knock him out cold with a bottle of Southern Comfort.
Facing obscenity charges, Jim went to hide out in Paris with his long time on-again-off-again partner, Pamela Courson. It was there that he returned to writing poetry in the brief period before his death in 1971 at the age of 27; exactly two years to the day after Brian Jones had died at the same age.
Pamela followed three years later. Age, 27.
