The Doors: "Indian Summer" (1970)



Throughout The Doors' six albums, Morrison is constantly singing about wanting to love and be loved. The woman he chose, Pam Courson, was a drug addict, as he was an alcoholic. The two were constantly fighting and leaving each other, supposedly under the guise of a '60s "open relationship." There was no "loving and being loved," just the Devil's own "Do what thou wilt."

Their own hard-headed personalities were timeless. But had they not lived in an era that told them that doing drugs and sleeping around and "doing what thou wilt" were just fine... perhaps their difficulties would not have been so hard to overcome.
