"an ox's tale" DVD review

[Scott Schrade]

Great review, Ernie.  I just finished watching the DVD.

> very interesting that they had pete in interview but no roger. what's up with 
> that I ask you? no godfrey either.. 

Who knows why Roger isn't in it.  The Pete interview snippets are worth
the price alone.  I also enjoyed Chris Stamp's comments.

> it's nice to see something like this that showcases John's extreme bass 
> playing talent that will never be surpassed. 

If you like that, you should check out that Bass Master Class DVD that
was just released a few months ago.

> John's mother and her wonderful anecdotes....and John's son chris 
> of course, whom I never saw really until this.

Plus, the quick comment from Mandy Moon.  Nice to see her. 

> funny that ray manzarek from the doors talked about what a great bassist 
> John was. why is it funny? cause the doors never had a bass player, and 
> John wasn't a doors fan because of that! ha. 

When did John say he wasn't a Doors fan?  I must've missed that comment.
I thought it was cool seeing Manzarek in the documentary.  (I'm a Doors
fan.)

The Doors (Inc.) have some neat things lined up for the near future:  A new
box set featuring 2-disc versions of all their albums.  A large coffee-table
book with rare pictures.  A feature-length movie/documentary (a' la The Who)
produced by Law & Order's Dick Wolf.  And other items to celebrate
what's being billed as the band's 40th anniversary in 2007.  I can't wait.
