abstract
  • %22Roadhouse Blues%22 is a rock song written by Jim Morrison and recorded by the American rock band The Doors. The song, which appeared on the B-side of %22You Make Me Real%22, was first released as a single from the album Morrison Hotel in March 1970 and peaked at #50 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. The song quickly became a concert staple for the group, a live version appearing later on the posthumous album An American Prayer and that same version, which has been called %22probably one of the best live performances of any song%22, again on In Concert and Greatest Hits. During this version, Jim Morrison talks for a short while to a female audience member about his Zodiac sign and, with a sudden, ironic twist that causes the audience to erupt in laughter, denounces his beliefs in it. The song was also featured twice in the movie The Doors; the studio version in the film, and the aforementioned live version over the end credits. The line %22Woke up this morning and I got myself a beer%22 was inspired by Alice Cooper as stated on his Planet Rock morning show.According to the book, Light My Fire by Ray Manzarek, a bandmate of Morrison's, the song refers to Morrison's waking after an alleged three weeks of drug-induced sleep and the actual lyric sung is %22woke up this morning and I got myself a beard%22.
