The Doors - 60th anniversary show at the Whisky a Go Go last night [View all]

OK, so I've seen Robby Krieger play a couple of times and also once had the chance to meet him for about thirty seconds (I was trying to be unobtrusive while others mobbed him asking for autographs and selfies; I just took the opportunity to thank him for the music and tell him "People Are Strange" is the first song I ever remember hearing in a life DEFINED by music...he was kind and gracious.)

Last night, my daughter and I went to his show at the Whisky celebrating the very date in 1966 that the band played its first show there.

There were two things that basically ruined the experience for me.

One, for anyone who hasn't been, the Whisky is NOT a well laid-out venue. It's a tiny club with a 500 person capacity. Been there many, many times but this was the first time I've visited with health issues that require me to use a walker. Suffice it to say the venue is NOT set up for people with disabilities. We had reserved a second-floor balcony table (because the only seats on the main floor were about $1,000). Though the staff was great about getting us to our table, escorting us through a back door so I didn't have to ascend stairs, there is NO bathroom on the second floor. So I basically had to almost CRAWL down the stairs at one point when I had to use the facilities. Again, staff were trying to be helpful but I shouldn't have been put in a position of clinging to the banister for dear life because of my weak legs. Add to that a pushy woman who basically invited herself to use the one vacant stool at a table I had paid over $300 for to make sure I had somewhere to sit (which I wouldn't have generally minded, except she kept obstructing my access to my OWN table) and it was just a really unpleasant experience.

Second, for like half the set, they had that washed-up a$$clown of an actor, Dennis Quaid, singing vocals. He's an unabashed Trump supporter and that's pretty much all I could think about watching him get up there and disgrace himself - rich jerk publicly WHINING about the fact his daughter didn't get a scholarship she wanted!

This guy vocally defends the orange menace, whose policies are diametrically OPPOSED to everything Jim Morrison stood for. I'm sorry, Robby, but Jim would have been APPALLED with the choice to give this jagoff a spot on the stage. At least he didn't sing "The Unknown Soldier" or I may have lost it. We left early.
