I just got punk'd.

I need to tell you about it.

I know, I know. Plenty of warning signs. I should've known better. I should know the history of music better.

But I was also intrigued. I knew *of* Jim Morrison as the lead singer of The Doors. But I didn't know the specifics of his career and life. I thought I recalled hearing there was a big drugs/alcohol angle to his story. (hint: there was)

I'd never heard him on a podcast before. So when I saw Rick Rubin was hosting him on his podcast Tetragrammaton I tapped "play".

And then I walked around tidying up my workspace listening intently on my Airpods. Morrison talked about growing up in the south and losing his accent, the new film projects he's working on, etc.

After 29 minutes of this I was intrigued to look up Jim Morrison's wikipedia entry only to find out that he died in 1971.

I listened to a half-hour podcast of Rick Rubin interviewing a dead guy.
