If you’re a Doors fan, you might have been surprised to learn that the surviving members of the band have been in a legal dispute against each other–specifically Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger versus John Densmore. As it turns out, the former two had been on tour as The Doors. Technically they couldn’t use the name unless all three were in it, so the official title of the group was The Doors of the 21st Century. Hmmm.
In any event, a California court has ruled that Manzarek and Krieger owe money from their tour, approximately $5 million, to Densmore as well as Jim Morrison’s father and the parents of Morrison’s wife Pamela Courson. Manzarek and Krieger’s appeal was just turned down by the California Supreme Court.
Does anyone else find it strange that Jim Morrison’s father is still alive?
