The Doors, a blues and rock band


The Doors was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, California by vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, drummer John Densmore, and guitarist Robby Krieger.
The band took their name from the title of a book by Aldous Huxley, The Doors of Perception (1954). That title was in turn taken from a line in a poem entitled "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" by the 18th-century artist and poet William Blake: "If the doors of perception were cleansed, every thing would appear to man as it is: infinite"

  1. Thanks a lot for this info!! I love this band, but I didn't know where the name came from... and it's very interesting! I love Blake! You should read something by him, he's great! His statement is a good example.
