Mimi Smith Dvorak shares a story from the summer of 1968 when she stayed at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Honolulu. She befriended a young man who lamented the burdens of fame, only to later discover he was Jim Morrison of The Doors. Morrison invited Mimi's parents to his performance, but her mother declined the invitation, preferring to go to dinner instead.
Rolling Stone Dzhokhar Tsarnaev Cover Controversy
Rolling Stone magazine featured Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on its cover in a pose reminiscent of a rock star like Jim Morrison. The hosts argue this is a form of psychological programming designed to make the public believe that "any kid next door" could be a terrorist. They suggest the aesthetic choice creates cognitive dissonance, furthering a climate of suspicion toward ordinary citizens.
The hosts acknowledge high-tier donors and executive producers, including Sir Robert Rock and Big Jim from Hangar 18. Listeners from Alaska, California, and Australia contributed significant amounts to support the "value for value" model following a period of low donations.
