It was this day in Rock History in 1967, these guys appear on TV’s “Ed Sullivan Show.” Sullivan asks the lead singer to omit a controversial line in the song. Who was the band, and for bonus points, what was the line?
Answer:
It was the Doors and the song was “Light my Fire”. The lyric in question was “Girl, we couldn’t get much higher.” Morrison agreed to change the line for the live broadcast, then sang the original anyway. That’s funny to me. What a legend.
