Densmore goes on about not doing the band without Jim, how it would destroy the memory of the band etc etc. Yet, he had no problem with the three of them releasing two albums and touring as "The Doors" in the immediate aftermath of Morrison's last bath.
I think what happened is that he thought the other two wouldn't dare tour without him and his ego (and wallet) took a hit when they carried on without him. So suddenly, he's concerned about Morrison's memory and the band's lasting image.

I saw D21C with Ian Astbury twice - Wembley 2003 and 2004. They were indeed brilliant. To see those songs being performed by Manzarek and Krieger was worth the ticket price. It's their legacy and they should be allowed to exploit it as they please. They are as entitled to exploit their work as the Stones or any other act are entitled to do with theirs.
Having said that I don't feel the need to see them again.

Strong reaction from a devoted Morrison-follower.
I interpreted his works back in the 80s; I have been tourin'
as a stage poet with his stuff and will most probably interpret
into my language the Lost Paris Tapes this upcomin' winter.
Sir Craven said this: "They are as entitled to exploit their work as the Stones or any other act are entitled to do with theirs."
One could object, that Jim Morrison was a little more crucial for
the Doors than Brian Jones was for the Stones...
