Rob Ayling, yer Gonzo Grande Fromage, writes:
"Thom the World poet is an old mate of mine from way back in my history. Even pre-dating Voiceprint, when I was running "Otter Songs" and Thom's poetry tapes and guest appearances with Daevid Allen, Gilli Smyth and Mother Gong are well known and highly regarded. It just felt right to include a daily poem from Thom on our Gonzo blog and when I approached him to do so, he replied within seconds!!! Thom is a great talent and just wants to spread poetry, light and positive energy across the globe. If we at Gonzo can help him do that - why not?"
"THE FIFTH DOOR"(Ray Manzarek)
"MY DAYS WITH THE DOORS"
was a revealing book written by Doug Lubahn
who is most famous for being the studio bass player for THE DOORS.
He played on STRANGE DAYS,WAITING FOR THE SUN and THE SOFT PARADE.
Yet his loyalty to his own group CLEAR LIGHT (Mr.Blue)prevented his joining THE DOORS
His jazz bass side came through his band DREAMS.His rock jazz side in RIFF-RAFF.
He also played with BILLY SQUIER and even TED NUGENT(Penetration)
Yet his clai to fame lives in those "classic"bass riffs that defined THE DOORS.
Doug even joined the DOORS REUNION in 2004 with Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger
He may not have toured with the original DOORS-but his fine bass lines live
every time you open THE DOORS,and hear again
THE FIFTH DOOR...
