    The killer awoke before dawn
    He put his boots on
    He took a face from the ancient gallery and he
    Walked on down the hall

    One of the few songs I didn't care for. I always skipped it.[sarcastic face]

    This was Morrisons Freudian song about insest. "The End" One might asume his father started it and he caried on the tradition. Or something along those lines.

    I'm still not sure of the other one.

    The End is right, Plum. I read a biography of Morrison's life that gave a long, detailed explanation of the meaning of all the lyrics in The End and I still don't know what it was about. Trust me, this does not reflect badly on me. However, Horse Latitudes, from the Strange Days album, was a rare flash of pure poetry from Morrison, written before the Doors were formed.

    Mac's two hits of Purple Barrel have got me reminiscing... who can catch this one? You either know it, or you don't.

    In a coffee house Sebastian sat
    and after every number they passed the hat McGuinn and McGuire just a-gettin' higher
    in L.A., you know where that's at

    Extra points for telling who Sebastian, McGuinn and McGuire are.

    Aw, ya beat Plum out while she was digging up the album!

    John Sebastian formed The Lovin' Spoonful with Zal Yanovsky, who also gets mentioned in Creeque Alley. Roger McGuinn formed The Byrds (which also had David Crosby before Crosby, Stills and Nash). Barry McGuire had a hit song with Eve of Destruction.

    Goin to the movies now and rest my poor head.

    Ahah! It finally came to me, Mac (do I have to admit I used to listen to a radio station that played this stuff?)

    (d) I'm afraid that I'm not sure of
    a love there is no cure for

    That would be I Think I Love You, by the Partridge Family. Mmm, Shirley... Mother Earth Goddess. I'd lick the dirt from between her toes.

    That "teenybopper runaway child" is percolating down in there too. Gimmie another day on it before you tell. I hear a lyric in my mind, muffled and unclear, but the phrase "rainbow shades" keeps popping up.

    Comf,

    Who are you trying to kid, I know you,ve still got those TeenBeat posters up in your room. Suck it up, like me , and declare to all the world that go go boots are the most COMFortable form of footwear you,ve ever worn!!! You nailed the Partridge's. (And as for Shirley, I'm with you. I always like to start with an appetizer, myself, before moving on to the main course.) Keep following those shades, you're on the right course, no tacking!

    Something, something, take off your rainbow shades
    Something, something, hey, won't you go my way.

    That's as close as I can get.
