Music Appreciation: Harrison Ford
- Posted on Feb 18th 2010 3:00PM by Benjy Eisen
Before portraying Han Solo in 'Star Wars,' Harrison Ford was something of a hippie. Monterey Pop Festival? The Human Be-In? He was there. For awhile, he even toured with the Doors. "I barely remember anything," says Ford, who was on the crew of a Doors documentary that never came to fruition. "I'm quite sure there was nothing in focus." Sounds like fun. (PS: If you know the whereabouts of the footage, get in touch with Ford. As he put it, "Boy, that would be some great stuff to see.")- Filed under: Music Appreciation

This is a wonderful opinion. The things mentioned are unanimous and needs to be appreciated by everyone. I appreciate the concern which is been rose. The things need to be sorted out because it is about the individual but it can be with everyone.

Indy hated snakes. Jim practicaly wrote love poems to them. Alas, the friendship was doomed from the start...

I'm glad Harrison didn't fly helicopters during the same time he was hanging out with Jimbo!

I remember seeing the Doors at the Aquarius theater. Jim arrived late and did a great job even though he had enough alcohol to drown a horse. I found out they released the event on cd as live at the Aquarius Theater. I remember there were cameras, I think, maybe Ford was there. I wish I could go back in time with a video camera.

i like harrison fords movies. he really doesnt seem to me to have any character but just harrison. have you ever seen him on letterman or leno? it seems that interviewing him is a choir and hes very monotone or just high. i still like the guy but im just saying he doesnt seem to have many sides like a lot of actors. maybe thats a good thing. its worked for him.

In the photo book called "Flashing on the 60's" by photographer Lisa Law (fantastic book on that time period) there is indeed a photo of a pretty young Harrison Ford hard at work as a handyman fixing the wiring in someone's house in hip mid sixties LA hills area.

While it is true that Jim Morrison preferred alcohol, which was pretty uncommon for that time period, so did Janis Joplin, yet another depressed and tortured soul. But I loved them both, even though they hated each other in real life. They both left us with a lasting body of music that I will cherish forever, and I was only 5 when Morrison died. My parents were into the Doors and Janis and so many others of that time, so I grew up with their music in the house. Anyway, I would love to see that footage, if in fact it still exists.

I READ THAT HARRISON FORD RECORDED HIMSELF MAKING TAPES WITH AN UNTUNED GUITAR, PLAYING CHAIRS AND SINGING LIKE A ROOSTER. HE WOULD MAIL IT TO RECORD COMPANIES!
