The Doors Men's People are Strange T-Shirt

Product Information

Andy from MichiganWhere was the location that The Doors used for their music video People Are Strange?

Six days earlier on September 17th, 1969* the song had entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #65... Tristan from Philadelphia, PaFirst time I heard this song was on my dads old record player off or Strange Days, before hearing it I thought, who are the doors? This song got me to be the fan I am today. James from L.a., CaJim was a strange cat. He was never comfortable in his own skin. When he got famous, it blew his mind. Yeah, he was on acid a lot, but if you know anything about Morrison before he became famous, you know that he was a fat nerd for most of his life. That makes you strange, not LSD-- in fact, in the '60's people took acid to fit in.Lalah from Wasilla, AkThis is the theme music that runs through my head when I am walking through airports. Rich from St.pete, FlI agree with tori. it is about a trip- finding it difficult to recognize faces, sometimes they are distorted and ugly in the dark, and it's all you. and he used "seem" Moi-même from ParisWhile Morrisson did write songs about drugs, reducing this one to a bad trip would be dumbing it down. The way I see it, it's a brilliant description of the freudian uncanny. Joshvall from Huittinen, FinlandNady from Adelaide, actually Jim was quite fat and kind of nerd too during his teen years. So it's really possible that this song has got some inspriration of that also. Marie from Durham, United KingdomI think this song is about feeling different but i also think he has to be talking about the weirdness of looking at strangers faces when your tripping and the alien view of the world that LSD gives the taker. The doors of perception are opened when you trip and take it from me "Streets are uneven when your down".

Dev01d from Wollongong, AustraliaThis is my favourite song by The Doors, also my favourite song to play on guitar. I just play the intro over and over. I think it's deffinately about depression and feeling alienated and doubt it's about drugs. I agree with Dustin that it's pretty stupid how people can't look past people's drug use.

Kim from Stuart, FlI believe I read something in a magazine that was a mixture of all these stories. Morrison was depressed, so he went for a walk in the desert, and saw some people having a tripping party in their garden. He sat and watched them a while from a distance (they were stoned out of their heads so they didn't notice), then went home and wrote this song. Anna from New Oxford, PaI bet he was on an acid trip. People are indeed very strange sometimes. And to Melissa, I am Ms. Mojo Risin'.

On the same show the quartet also performed "Light My Fire"; and at the time it was in its 17 week on the Top 100 and at position #32... Zarko Zolo from NirvanaWhen I first heard the doors pay this song at the Fillmore SF in 1967, the title & lyrics/chorus were "When you're straight" rather than "When you're strange." Nady from Adelaide, --Sorry Joshvall but the only time Jim was fat was toward the end of his life. He was in pretty good shape as a teenage (from what I can tell from photos). He was extremely intelligent for his age (I.Q. of 140 when he was just 16) but that doesnt make him a nerd. He was just well cultured:)

Danny Brown from Rumson, NjIn Danny Sugarman's book "No One Here Gets Out Alive" he states jim was driving down a road and saw hippies dancing in the field and came up with the lyric...people are strange...is that true? Herminio from Rosario, ArgentinaSorry but the first "fact" was at John´s house, not Robbie´s. I´m pretty shure about it because I have John´s book. Tori from Boston, MaIt's about LSD. "When you're strange" is referring to when you're on drugs. Depression doesn't make faces come out of the rain.
