Whoa - the rare Doors reference. And subby bypasses the obvious "Light My Fire" and instead goes with "LA Woman". Somehow....it worked. +1

jaylectricity: I tried reading it in the tune of Born to Be Wild, but that didn't work. LA Woman you say?

Midnight alleys roam
Cops in cars, the topless bars
Never saw a woman...
So alone...

So alooooooone...
SOo alone.

Of course, since Morrison wrote Love Street at the place that almost burned down, that would be obvious too, but good job anyway subby.

RTFA, people.

Well, to be fair, that is mentioned nowhere in the article. It's a link going to a different article here (new window)

But you are right, I stopped reading halfway through the article so....

Best song about arson: The City Sleeps MC 900ft Jesus (new window)

I've been in that house. It was abandoned after Oliver Stone shot the Doors movie there. They ripped the walls down to shoot from the outside. They had to puts the walls back up and tear them down to get different camera angles.

When somebody finally moved in and rehabbed it, he build a two-story totem pole with the heads of Jim, Janis Joplin, John Lennon and Jimi Hendrix with a window to show it off. I think that's why they targeted the house. "Hey, let's go torch the stupid Totem Pole house!" Cuz none of the other fires were near it.

A friend of mine lived next door. I bet he's freaking.

And we got high in there.

/CSB.

The Doors put out a lot of crap, variously described as "great American modern poetry". But LA Woman wasn't bad at all.

StanTheMan: Of course, since Morrison wrote Love Street at the place that almost burned down, that would be obvious too, but good job anyway subby.

Of course, L.A. Woman directly references fires in the hills of Los Angeles, just a few lines above where subby echoed. In addition it mentions Hollywood bungalows, alleys, and freeways. This would seem to give L.A. Woman the nod.

Now a more clever subby might have been able to mash up L.A. Woman and Love Street, but really, I think the real issue in subby's mind was whether the modmins would go for the real stretch of the headline, rhyming "cars" with "fires".

My title fu is awful but still can appreciate good work

There were 3 or 4 fires lit the night before, and 2 guys were arrested, same MO. I live in Hollywood Hills and we have a carport and this sheet isn't funny. Copy cat or not, fire is the worse thing you can do to someone. If they don't kill someone, those people lose everything. FARK FARK FARK these Aholes!

What'd ole lady Semple say when you lit up her pension check, Trash?
