“In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other's art, so we can effect a synthesis.”

Robby Krieger (1946) American rock guitarist and songwriter

Comment posted at his official website http://www.robbykrieger.com.
Context: In The Doors we have both musicians and poets, and both know of each other's art, so we can effect a synthesis. In the case of Tim Buckley or Dylan you have one man's ideas. Most groups today aren't groups. In a true group all the members create the arrangements among themselves.

Turn in the door once and turn once only

Thinking of the key, each confirms a prison.”
