Happy Birthday to the late Jim Ladd.

Celebrated as one of the last prominent freeform rock DJs in U.S. commercial radio, Jim was a true legend. He played a pivotal role in promoting The Doors' music and legacy. In 1979, he hosted a four-part radio documentary titled "No One Here Gets Out Alive," which featured in-depth interviews with John, Robby, and Ray.

"He was the best friend in radio The Doors ever had. Even when people forgot about us in the late '70s, he kept playing our music." -Robby Krieger

On this day in 1993, The Doors were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

“Their visionary trajectory sought an orbit positioned well outside of the rock norm. Their journey was driven by a unique group vision and a determination to push the envelope of poetry, spirituality, intellect and psycho-sexual exploration in popular music as far as possible.” -ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME

INTOXICATING. PROVOCATIVE. UNCOMPROMISING.

In the summer of 1965, a chance meeting on Venice Beach between a young poet, Jim Morrison, and keyboardist Ray Manzarek sparked the creation of a band that would forever change music and culture. With Robby Krieger on guitar and John Densmore on drums, The Doors were born.

From their early days as the house band at the Whisky a Go Go to recording their groundbreaking debut album, their journey was nothing short of legendary - their sound transformed an era.

Now, 60 years later, we’re celebrating the music, the culture, and the legacy of The Doors. Stay tuned for exclusive content, events, and surprises as we honor six decades of breaking through to the other side.
