John Densmore, the great drummer of the one of the greatest rock bands of the 1960's, isn't interested in using the Door's music to sell Cadillacs, but obviously Led Zeppellin is just ducky with it.

I for one am happy to see Mr. Densmore stand up to the pressure (also coming from Manzarek and Kreiger) and
front for Jim Morrison, who can't speak for himself, but who made it clear long ago he wasn't interested in selling Buicks.
"People lost their virginity to this music, got high for the first time to this music," Densmore said. "I've had people say kids died in Vietnam listening to this music, other people say they know someone who didn't commit suicide because of this music. Onstage, when we played these songs, they felt mysterious and magic. That's not for rent."
Mr. Densmore, thank you. and I also agree that while Ian Astbury may be good, he's no Jim Morrison.
