2: Strange Days
Paul Gambaccini celebrates the mystique of Jim Morrison including: ‘The Marriage of Heaven and Hell’ and ‘Dreadzone Aldous Huxley Readings’.
Had singer Jim Morrison of The Doors not died in mysterious circumstances at the tender age of 27 in 1971 - he would have turned 75 in 2018.
In the second of three programmes, Paul Gambaccini mixes the music and poetry of the man with the influences that moulded the self-proclaimed ‘The Lizard King’.
In addition to sharing memories and observations, Paul delves into the Â鶹ԼÅÄ archive:
