1. The documentary "When You're Strange" is
playing in film festivals and cinemas around the world with great reviews. A
few days ago, you were in the Paris premier. Are you happy with the final
result of the film and the feedback you receive from viewers?
JD: I'm very happy with "When You're Strange".
2. A book written by you will be released in
Autumn. Will it be a novel? Can you tell us some things about what the story
is about?JD: "The Doors: Unhinged Rock n'
Roll Goes Up On Trial" is the title... it's non-fiction.
3. Some years about you released "Tribaljazz" album which combines jazz with
African music. It was something you wanted to have made for years. Why it
took you so long? Will be a follow-up in the future? Do you still enjoy
playing rock music or you feel more comfortable with jazz?
JD: Tribaljazz was a
dream come true... now back into writing.
4.Thousands people around the world appreciate your music. Is there any
chance of touring in the near future?
JD: Not much
5.In 2007, you said that The Doors will reunite only with
Eddie Vedder on vocals
and that he most likely, will accept the invitation if would be any. What
happened with this? It is possible a Doors reunion? (I pray for this
)
JD: No reunion unless Jim comes back...
6. What music do you hear these days? Is there
any newer artist or band who you like?
JD: I like world
music
7. And as I know you have great humor: Did people in 60's and 70's when you
had a moustache, thought you're in fact,
George Harrison?? (
Sorry
for my English)
JD: I love
George Harrison
(thanks, Thodoris)
