It can be quite understandable that for many there was no afterlife for The Doors after the tragic passing of Jim Morrison, many will have drifted away, the millions will have just hung on the short but ultimately significant list of studio albums and the final hurrah of arguably one of the most important groups to have come out of 1960s America, the brutal, the dominating and utterly beguiling L.A. Woman.
To many, William Shatner is one of the main reason why Star Trek become a television hit in the 1960s and has long lived on and flourished under different franchises and films nearly 50 years later. Now Mr. Shatner is going boldly where he has never gone before, the world of Progressive Rock with Prog Rock giant Billy Sherwood by his side.

I admit my musical relationship with The Doors is not what it could have been. I didn’t appreciate the American band at all. The reason for this rather glib demonstration of lack of musical compatibility is down to a girl I used to date who had the most overpowering and dedicated crush on Jim Morrison. No not a crush, she lived, breathed and dreamt of him, not a problem, that didn’t bother me. It was being called Jim that got me down about the band…for the record my name is not Jim!
