Human Weirdness

Song 823: This week on the playlist you can hear People Are Strange by The Doors, written by Jim Morrison and Robby Krieger, and you can find a YouTube video of it by clicking on the title. The folks I grew up with during the 1950s & 1960s did not approve of the devil's music but I still often managed to hear a lot of songs I liked when hanging out with friends, and other situations as well. During my sophomore HS year, I did get to regularly hear the first album by The Doors while working on the student newspaper, and when the fall of 1967 arrived and I began my junior year, I soon got to hear the group's second 33 disc, which included this analysis. While I didn't think that second album hit the same amazing level that their first one did, I did still like what I heard. At the time, I did regularly deliver newspapers to homes in my neighborhood, and whether I felt up or down, the streets never seemed uneven. I guess I wasn't ever that strange back then, because I never saw faces come out of the rain!
