"Find your stories interesting"?! That Jim Morrison story was a real screen-scroller, for sure. We read a much briefer account of this in JE's book. I was picturing the whole thing like I was on that piano bench playing the bass line (that's where the real control is ;-) ). The "beverly hillbillies mansion" description certainly nailed that visualization down. I wonder, had you any sense from looking at Jim that he was on the downslide toward his demise or was it just too cool to be around such a mega star to make that kind of observation?
The hipper-than-thou interviewer story is certainly something that any 30 yr GW fan understands, having withstood the scorn of others who were far too heavy for TGW. Even when TGW steered away from the AM-friendly songs, it was too late, the FMers already had'em defined and neatly placed into the "uncool" category. But the music that came out of that sounds so much more honest, tuneful than alot of the rambling, stoned out, with out-of-tune harmonies that the "hipper" dudes were putting out.
Along with Elton, I would suggest that Steely Dan also made it cool to be commercial while still being true to one's Muse.
