BOC: BOC / Doors connection

I understand what you mean, and agree.

BOC's keyboard-dominated songs are generally the ones I like best.
Any other interest in progressive rock, Theo?

In a book on The Doors (entitled Dance On Fire - how original!) the
writer said "even Robby's mother wouldn't be able to tell who is who".
He wrote it in a rather negative context, but then he was a Doors fan,
and probably found BOC's music /too/ heavy.

Do you know which parts Krieger did on Imaginos?
