John Densmore, baterista dos The Doors, nasceu há 79 anos


John Paul Densmore
(Los Angeles, 1 de dezembro de 1944) é um músico americano, mais conhecido como baterista da banda de rock The Doors, e como tal colocado no Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Ele apareceu em todas as gravações feitas pela banda, com a sua batida de bateria inspirada tanto no jazz e na world music quanto no rock and roll. As muitas homenagens que ele compartilha com os outros membros dos The Doors incluem um Grammy pelo conjunto de sua obra e uma estrela na Calçada da Fama de Hollywood.

Densmore também é conhecido pelo seu veto às tentativas dos outros dois membros dos The Doors, após a morte do cantor Jim Morrison em 1971, de aceitar ofertas para licenciar os direitos de várias músicas dos Doors para fins comerciais, bem como a objeção sua ao uso no século XXI do nome e logótipo dos The Doors. As longas batalhas judiciais de Densmore para obter cumprimento de seu veto, com base num contrato da década de 60 que exigia unanimidade entre os membros dos The Doors para usar o nome ou a música da banda, terminaram com uma vitória total para ele e os seus aliados na defesa da propriedade intelectual de Morrison.

Densmore trabalhou adicionalmente como dançarino e ator, e escreveu, com sucesso, dois livros sobre a banda The Doors e um terceiro livro, The Seekers (2020), sobre as notáveis pessoas com quem trabalhou e encontrou.

Os Beatles acabaram há cinquenta e um anos...

   
The Beatles were an English rock band consisting of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr from August 1962 to September 1969. Their break-up was a cumulative process attributed to numerous factors, such as the strain of the Beatlemania phenomenon, the death of manager Brian Epstein in 1967, McCartney's domineering role, Lennon's heroin use, his relationship with Yoko Ono, Harrison's prolific songwriting output, the floundering of Apple Corps and the Get Back project (later Let It Be, 1970), and managerial disputes.
During the second half of the Beatles' career, the members began to assert individual artistic agendas. Their disunity became most evident on The Beatles (also known as "The White Album", 1968), and quarrels and disharmony over musical matters soon permeated their business discussions. Starr and Harrison briefly quit the group during the making of The Beatles and Let It Be, respectively. Starting in 1969, the group split into two camps regarding who should handle their business affairs. McCartney lobbied for entertainment lawyers Lee and John Eastman, but was outvoted by his bandmates in favour of businessman Allen Klein.
The final time that the four members recorded together collectively was the session for Abbey Road's closing track "The End" on 18 August 1969. Lennon privately informed his bandmates that he was leaving the Beatles on 20 September, although it was unclear to the other members whether his departure was permanent. On 10 April 1970, McCartney issued a press release that stated he was no longer working with the group, which sparked a widespread media reaction and worsened the tensions between him and his bandmates. Legal disputes continued long after, and the dissolution was not formalised until 1974.
   
  
The members occasionally reunited for collaboration, but never with all four simultaneously. After Lennon's death in 1980, the remaining three regrouped for Harrison's song "All Those Years Ago" in 1981 and the Anthology project in 1994, the latter using the unfinished Lennon demos "Free as a Bird" and "Real Love" as the basis for new songs recorded and released as the Beatles.

Jim Morrison morreu há 49 anos

   
James "Jim" Douglas Morrison (Melbourne, Flórida, 8 de dezembro de 1943 - Paris, 3 de julho de 1971) foi um cantor, compositor e poeta norte-americano, mais conhecido como o vocalista da banda de rock The Doors. Foi o autor da maior parte das letras da banda. Após aumento explosivo da fama dos The Doors em 1967, Morrison desenvolveu uma grave dependência de álcool que, juntamente com o consumo de drogas, culminou na sua morte, com 27 anos de idade, em Paris. Alguns dizem que veio a falecer devido a uma overdose de heroína, mas como não foi realizada autópsia, a causa exata de sua morte ainda é contestada.
Morrison era conhecido por muitas vezes dizer as suas Spoken word e poesias improvisadas enquanto a banda tocava ao vivo. Devido às suas performances e à sua personalidade selvagem, ele é considerado por críticos e fãs como um dos vocalistas mais icónicos, carismático e pioneiro do rock da história da música. Morrison foi classificado na 47° posição na lista da revista Rolling Stone dos "100 Maiores Cantores de Todos os Tempos ", e em 22° lugar na lista da revista Classic Rock dos "50 maiores cantores de rock".

The Doors-The End


This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end


Of our elaborate plans, the end
Of everything that stands, the end
No safety or surprise, the end
I'll never look into your eyes...again


Can you picture what will be
So limitless and free
Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand
In a...desperate land


Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain
And all the children are insane
All the children are insane
Waiting for the summer rain, yeah


There's danger on the edge of town
Ride the King's highway, baby
Weird scenes inside the gold mine
Ride the highway west, baby


Ride the snake, ride the snake
To the lake, the ancient lake, baby
The snake is long, seven miles
Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold


The west is the best
The west is the best
Get here, and we'll do the rest


The blue bus is callin' us
The blue bus is callin' us
Driver, where you taken' us


The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on
He took a face from the ancient gallery
And he walked on down the hall
He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he
Paid a visit to his brother, and then he
He walked on down the hall, and
And he came to a door...and he looked inside
Father, yes son, I want to kill you
Mother...I want to...fuck you


C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
C'mon baby, take a chance with us
And meet me at the back of the blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
On a blue bus
Doin' a blue rock
C'mon, yeah


Kill, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill


This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end


It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die


This is the end
