So far, as I have been planning, I am having a lazy weekend. It rained a lot this morning and I stayed in, read and browsed. And now we are in that particular place during a storm, where it is sunny and dry. So we are in the eye of the storm again, albeit briefly. So I am going out soon to enjoy that moment of calm. Then back in to enjoy indoor's little pleasures: reading, watching movies, listening to music, etc. I am reading at the moment Heart of the Hunter, a crime fiction novel with road movie elements. When I was reading it earlier on and the rain was falling, I got Riders on the storm in the head. The Doors is not my favourite group, but there are some songs I really enjoy, including this one. It fits this day, so I am putting it here.

Have a wonderfully lazy weekend and thanks for the Doors song this morning....it went well with my coffee. Love the Doors.
Your post and referenced song, Riders in the Storm, are perfect in this very moment! The rain just keeps coming and I am loving every ounce of it!
Not lazy at all here... Not lazy at all. The yard has finally been given the attention it deserved, and now, this evening, I have to put some order to my book collection. Blech!
Quin, tu m'as fait réécouter de la musique de The Doors et je me rends compte que c'est un groupe potable, mélodiquement parlant (des trucs mémorables) mais il n'était pas particulièrement génial. L'orgue d'aréna donne une texture un peu originale au son mais ils en abusent un peu trop, et ils sont nuls en harmonie (ou plutôt en polyphonie, le clavieriste joue à une main, et un doigt à la fois pratiquement) et abusent de la répétition (à la fois dans la musique et le texte).Somme toute, ce n'est pas les Beatles, Pink Floyd ou Harmonium (Serge Fiori avait un talent musical hors du commun), même pas les Beach Boys (qui, malgré des paroles d'une vacuité rare, avaient une originalité musicale et un talent de ce côté quand même indéniable). Mais c'est catchy, et il y a quelques vers inspirés.
