In May 1970, Jim Morrison sat and talked with Tony Thomas at The Doors West Hollywood office. The interview was reportedly aired as a brief news excerpt, but the interview in its entirely has never broadcast or published. Also included is one of The Doors earliest radio interviews. Booked to play a gig at the University Of New York at Oswego in upstate New York, the band agreed with Elektra's East Coast Radio Promotion Man to do an interview to promote their debut album. Just prior to showtime, backstage, in walks an interviewer, carrying a small reel-to-reel tape recorder on loan from the University's Audio/Visual Department. Confronted by what Manzarek today recalls as "a short, sophomoronic, chubby geek", the band was clearly disappointed by what they learned to be true reason for the interview - that it was to be broadcast only on a local radio station with "a range of approximately thirty yards", to quote Manzarek again, and about as many watts, that the radio station prohibited the broadcast of rock 'n' roll, and, finally, that this guy only had an interview show that was to feature "locals and guests". Hence, this interview, seen, or rather heard, in this context, makes the material more revealing for what it doesn't contain than what it does. Which is not to say the interview is not entertaining. Far from it.
