Perception of Doors

This comment makes the most sense and it is so ture I had to add it to my response
Songs carry emotional information and some transport us back to a poignant time, place or event in our lives. It’s no wonder a corporation would want to hitch a ride on the spell these songs cast and encourage you to buy soft drinks, underwear or automobiles while you’re in the trance.

From reading the letters to the editor a lot of fan agree with what Densmore had to say I like this one a lot

Dillon, Mont.
One ad that has to be the weirdest juxtaposition of cultural imagery is the Cadillac spot that uses a Led Zeppelin riff to get us jacked up over their new SUV. “Been a long time, been a long time…” indeed!

After reading John Densmore, I’m even prouder to say that as a teenager in Mexico in the late sixties I became a Doorhead instead of getting involved in Beatlemania–a reaction against the mass media infiltrating Mexico even before globalization. The Doors were one of the few big foreign bands who gave a free concert in the Alameda Park in Mexico City. It appears that The Doors continue to go against the flow of corporate takeovers of everything. I was disgusted to hear Beatles songs selling products on TV and am pleased that I won’t have to suffer the same with The Doors.

Its nice to see people aren’t so moved by clever marketing ploys with bands. The Ad world doesn’t give its public a lot of credit or think were that smart, but reading these responses puts a smile on my face. Little things like this say hey were out there and were on to what you do. Again I am going to close with something Densmore says:

A big thanks to Tom Waits for his eloquent letter. Cynthia McCulloh might be interested to know that in the Cadillac spot she mentions, Led Zeppelin was actually GM’s second choice, after we (The Doors) turned down an amount of money that makes me weak in the knees. At the end you see their new SUV roar by, and it says, “Break Through,” with the Caddie logo in between. They wanted it to say, “Break on Through”!
