Trivia - did you know Jim Morrison‘s father was a flag officer in the US Navy? "A lesser-known fact is that his father, Capt. George Stephen Morrison, commanded the Carrier Division during the Gulf of Tonkin Incident, which famously gave the Johnson Administration the justification it needed to escalate the Vietnam War."

Wow. Thank you for that. I did not know about any of that. I did like the Doors music back then but was pretty ignorant beyond that. Sure do miss the music from the 60's though.

I've also heard recently Capt Morrison was a high ranking intel officer. Don't recall any specifics, so take that part with some skepticism.
The gulf of Tonkin was the result of years of hard work by the cia to get Vietnam into the war they wanted.

Love that music , too. A time of amazing song writers and jazz/big band era instrumentalists performing on virtually all the recordings. No auto-tune.
