1969 Magazine examines the life of singer Rick Nelson 24 years after his tragic death and uncovers evidence of pilots who did not even do pre flight FAA inspections on the doomed aircraft and walked away while Nelson and six others burned to death, and how Nelson was being placed under extreme vindication by an ex wife who some close to the family have called "bat shit crazy".

(Oct. 30, 2009) In the summer of 1965 The Doors formed amid the turbulence of the era with music that was as intense and complex as the times that spawned them. They derived their name from references to “the doors of perception” in works by William Blake and Aldous Huxley.
The Doors had a dark, brooding personality that came largely from singer Jim Morrison. Musically, other members of the Doors combined a jazzy improv style that allowed Morrison to sometimes write poetic lyrics on the spot coming across to audiences as quit profound and deep. Morrison, like several other influential artists of the sixties, died at the age of 27 and left behind a musical legacy from a tragic time in rock and roll history.
