THE DOOMSDAY DJ:
TUNES FOR THE POST APOCALYPSE
On October 13, 1970, Jim Morrison, the enigmatic frontman of The Doors, was captured in a candid moment outside The Doors Workshop in Los Angeles during an interview with Salli Stevenson for Circus Magazine.
This moment, immortalized through photographs by Kurt Ingham, offers a rare glimpse into Morrison's reflective, yet elusive nature just months before his death.
The interview, which covered aspects of his life, art, and philosophy, was part of a period when Morrison was known to be withdrawing from the public eye, having retreated into a more introspective, almost mysterious persona.
At the time, his music with The Doors had already reshaped the landscape of rock and roll, blending poetic, surreal lyrics with innovative music. However, the complexities of his personal life and artistic ambitions were often shrouded in mystery.
The release of the full interview in 2002 by Bright Midnight Records provided an unfiltered look into Morrison’s thoughts and reflections on fame, poetry, and the essence of rock music.
This archival discovery offered fans an intimate insight into a man who, despite his larger-than-life presence on stage, was often conflicted and contemplative off-stage.
In the interview, Morrison discussed his feelings about being the “Lizard King,” the public persona that had followed him since the band's rise to fame.
He delved into the tensions between the expectations of his fans and his desire to remain true to his artistic vision, something that had been a recurring theme throughout his career.
His words reveal a sense of vulnerability and awareness that contrasted sharply with the brash, confident figure he presented on stage.
This interview, and the photographs by Ingham, serve as a valuable historical document for understanding the final years of Jim Morrison’s life and The Doors’ artistic journey.
They provide context to a pivotal moment in rock history, capturing the essence of an era defined by experimentation, rebellion, and self-expression

This image displays an antique war hammer or poleaxe, a type of European polearm that became popular in the late Middle Ages and Renaissance (15th-17th centuries).
This type of weapon was specifically designed to combat the heavy plate armor prevalent at the time, which could resist the cuts of swords and axes.
The weapon's versatility allowed for various fighting techniques, making it highly effective in both foot combat and against mounted knights.

🐔 How Do Chickens Reproduce?
Many people assume chickens reproduce like mammals—but birds follow a very different, fascinating process. Here’s an easy-to-understand explanation 👇
Unlike mammals, chickens don’t have external reproductive organs. Instead, both the rooster and the hen have a single opening called a cloaca. This opening is used for reproduction, digestion, and waste.
🐓 What Happens During Mating?
When a rooster mates with a hen, he briefly mounts her.
Their cloacas touch for just a few seconds.
This moment is called the “cloacal kiss.”
During this contact, sperm is transferred from the rooster to the hen.
🥚 The Amazing Part
The hen can store the sperm inside her body for several days (sometimes weeks).
Because of this, one mating can fertilize multiple eggs over time.
Each fertilized egg has the potential to develop into a chick if incubated properly.
🐣 Important Fun Fact
Hens lay eggs even without a rooster—those eggs are unfertilized and will never become chicks.
Only eggs laid after mating with a rooster can develop into baby chickens.
🌱 Nature is incredibly efficient, even when it looks simple. Chickens prove that reproduction doesn’t need to be complicated to be effective!

"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a novel by Oscar Wilde that tells the story of a young man named Dorian Gray, who remains youthful while a portrait of him ages and reflects his moral decay. It explores themes of vanity, hedonism, the nature of beauty, the pursuit of pleasure, and the consequences of immorality.
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" is a Gothic novel that follows the life of Dorian Gray, a young and handsome man who becomes enthralled by the pursuit of pleasure and eternal youth. When a talented artist named Basil Hallward paints his portrait, Dorian expresses a desire to remain as youthful and flawless as the image captured on canvas. In a Faustian bargain, Dorian's wish is granted, but with a sinister twist: while he remains eternally youthful and untouched by the passage of time, his portrait ages and reflects the corruption of his soul.
As Dorian indulges in a life of hedonism, decadence, and moral depravity, his portrait becomes increasingly grotesque, mirroring the effects of his immoral actions. Throughout the novel, Wilde explores themes of vanity, narcissism, the pursuit of pleasure, and the consequences of moral decay. He delves into the conflict between appearance and reality, as well as the duality of human nature—the tension between the public persona and the hidden self.
"The Picture of Dorian Gray" serves as a critique of Victorian society's obsession with superficial beauty and moral hypocrisy. Wilde's prose is rich with wit, irony, and philosophical musings, making the novel a timeless work of literature that continues to captivate readers with its exploration of morality, aesthetics, and the human condition.
Oscar Wilde.

On this day in 1988, the U2 single “Where The Streets Have No Name” re-entered the UK Singles Chart at #96 (January 9)
Look, let’s get this straight….I love the “old” U2; the “I Will Follow” guys…. that was the U2 I really liked.
I don’t really love what they evolved into…
That said, I actually don’t mind this song. It chugs along, it’s a bit catchy.
And I know the concept of the video is not original, but hey…. it’s a pretty cool video too!
The Edge wrote "Where the Streets Have No Name" in an upstairs room at his house using a four-track tape machine.
Realising that the album sessions were approaching the end and that the band were short on exceptional live songs, he wanted to "conjure up the ultimate U2 live-song", so he said he imagined what he would like to hear at a future U2 show if he were a fan.
After finishing the rough mix, he felt he had come up with "the most amazing guitar part and song of [his] life".
With no one in the house to share the demo with, he recalled dancing around and punching the air in celebration, he was so stoked with it!
The rest of the band liked the song, but with two time signature shifts and frequent chord changes, they found the demo pretty difficult to interpret.
Bass player Adam Clayton said, "At the time it sounded like a foreign language”
According to co-producer Daniel Lanois, "that was the science project song.
I remember having this massive schoolhouse blackboard, as we call them.
I was holding a pointer, like a college professor, walking the band through the chord changes like a f***ing nerd!
It was ridiculous!”
Co-producer Brian Eno estimates that half of the album sessions were spent trying to record a suitable version of "Where the Streets Have No Name".
The lyrics were inspired by a story that Bono heard about Belfast, Northern Ireland, where a person's religion and income were evident by the street on which they lived.
He contrasted this with the anonymity he felt when visiting Ethiopia, saying: "the guy in the song recognizes this contrast and thinks about a world where there aren't such divisions, a place where the streets have no name.
To me, that's the way a great rock 'n' roll concert should be: a place where everyone comes together... Maybe that's the dream of all art: to break down the barriers and the divisions between people and touch upon the things that matter the most to us all."
On the charts, “Where The Streets Have No Name” went all the way to #1 in Ireland and New Zealand, #4 in the UK, #7 in the Netherlands, #11 in Canada, #13 in the US, #15 in Italy, #19 in Belgium, #27 in Australia, and #44 in Germany.
The iconic clip with the band performing on a Los Angeles rooftop and the LAPD trying to shut them down, won the Grammy Award for Best Performance Music Video at the 31st Annual Grammy Awards.
Rolling Stone ranked the song at #28 on its list of the "100 Greatest Guitar Songs of All Time".
In 2014, NME ranked the song 404th on its list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".
