And I believe Them's vocalist was Van Morrison, who also happened to be alkie buddies with Jim Morrison. Them's "Gloria" (christ I hate that garage shit) hit the charts in '66, and then the Doors started up pretty-well the same year.

/never wanna hear "96 Tears" or "Love that Dirty Water" ever the fuck again.

/saw Montreal's the Gruesomes around '85 and didn't HALF-mind it, and some of the Lyres stuff and DMZ, but that was in another galaxy...far, far away......
