Thank you very much and God bless you.

Have a friend, who has been at that house in the 60's as a cousin to Robby Krieger.

Never hated The Doors, they were not overly political, and had great music.

Pacific Palisades was a sleepy, middle class neighborhood back then. Not the rich, celebrity enclave it later became.

Love their music, even if it was overly drug induced. Sad bit of irony about the house though.
