This was the title track to The Doors' fourth album. It sold well, but many critics felt it was a sellout to Pop music. Their next album, Morrison Hotel, was a return to their roots and was recorded a lot faster.
Morrison put the lyrics together out of pieces of poetry he had written.
Many of the images are of people walking along Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, where Morrison often hung out.
The Doors played this live only once: on a PBS television special in 1969. (thanks, Sam - Lincoln, NE)
