Robbie Krieger Goes 51 Minutes Without Mentioning Jim Morrison

LOS ANGELES–In his longest-such stretch since 1982, Doors guitarist Robbie Krieger went 51 minutes Monday without mentioning former bandmate Jim Morrison. “When Jim was around, anything could happen. Anything,” Krieger told friend Bob Gale before unexpectedly detouring into a Morrison-free conversation about his car, a restaurant his cousin manages, and the recent L.A. mayoral election. The streak ended when, without prompting, Krieger said: “You know, despite his reputation, Jim was a genuinely friendly, approachable guy.” Krieger then told the story of the time Morrison was arrested for indecent exposure in Miami for the 8,194th time.
