Episode Notes

LINER NOTES: 

On this Text Prose & RockNRoll B-Side, we are pleased to present the final interview with Doors' front man Jim Morrison before this untimely death at age 27. The interview, conducted by (then) Rolling Stone editor Ben Fong-Torres was unscheduled and occurred at the home of a mutual friend in Los Angeles in the summer of 1971. Only days later would Morrison be flying off to Paris, France where he would ultimately meet his end. This interview is unedited and contains graphic language. 

Special Thanks to Ben Fong-Torres for sharing and letting us release the audio of his interview. For more info and to keep up on Ben, visit his website
