A bit of fun at the expense of my fellow comic artists who are plagued by the need to establish where your characters are in the comic, but you only have 3 or 4 panels in which to accomplish this. I, for the most part, ignore the “establishing shot” rule unless I have the room. We’re all more interested in what the characters are doing and saying then “Ooo! They’re in a cool looking bar!”
The Doors final album with Morrison, 1971’s “L.A. Woman,” is actually their best work, in my opinion, and this slower tempo song is often over looked, but his deep vocals and eerie lyrical content shows a different side of Morrison as he grew tired of his popularity and fame.

Rather a dearth of windows on the first floor.
Aw, man, you used a word I have never heard before… and yes, there aren’t many windows on the first floor. I have actually drawn out the floor plan of Jeff’s house and I should share it someday.

I can see my house from … no wait, I can’t, it’s off the bottom of the last map. We were off of Highland, just south of Roosevelt Road.
Wow, I lived on Collen Drive, just behind K-Mart, so we weren’t too far from each other. Of course, I lived there in the mid-70s, so maybe not.

Oh, look, Maple St. Chapel! They’ve had some good music there!
Actually, Hyacinth House is one of the top tracks that comes to mind whenever I think of The Doors. Been a favorite of mine for just about four decades now.
“It was the only card in the deck that I had left to play”
So many days in my life where that line has shot me right through the soul. The musical composition for that piece is a masterful and subtle bit that you can really wrap around you and pull a piece of the sun into your day from somewhere else that you just know that it has to be shining.
Every Jack of Hearts needs to believe that. Makes the sunset more beautiful, the dawn magnificent just for being the dawn, and been known to please the lions this day. On occasion. 🙂
I agree with both of you, Byron, 3Xp4t – “Hyacinth House” way overlooked.
Today’s theme & song have a particular relevance for me: Jim Morrison lived here in my hometown of Albuquerque for a spell as a young boy while his Navy dad was stationed here.
A couple of years ago on the 40th anniversary of his death, our local paper ran a story on that, & the fact that the then current, & various owners over the years of the house that they lived in, would get periodic visitors coming by to see the house, or, even knocks on the door late at night by people asking to see Jim’s bedroom. Amazing…
Sorry I drank all the beer, but I do have this baggie…
I thought you were going to zoom into Highland Park. I used to live there as a kid in the 70s.
