Singer, poet and songwriter Jim Morrison died 50 years ago today, on 03-July-1971.  I remember hearing The Doors on the radio and being impressed by his voice.  I don't remember being impressed by his lyrics, but they were catchy. I liked Ray Manzarek because he wore glasses and played keyboards. He died in 1971, around the time that Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin also died.

Fifty years ago today, on 09-November-1967, Rolling Stone Magazine published its first issue in San Francisco.  Jann Wenner and San Francisco Chronicle music critic Ralph J Gleason created it to cover music.  Wenner hired many writers who became famous, like Hunter S Thompson.  I didn't have the money to read it regularly, but I picked up issues when they had interesting stories or photos.
