Episode description as stored

In early 2021, Questlove and Team Supreme sat down with The Doors' John Densmore for a revealing, fun, and spirited conversation. The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame drummer reflects on the 1960s Los Angeles scene that gave rise to his legendary band, discusses sharing songwriting credits, and explains why The Doors resisted the temptation to recruit a high-profile new singer after the loss of Jim Morrison. Densmore, who recently released DoPE with 2026 QLS guest Chuck D , also shares his admiration for another later QLS guest, Stacey Abrams. John is as cool as he ever was. Enjoy.
