CAHABA
COUNTY, AL -
"Break On Through (To the Other Side)" is a
rock song written and recorded by The Doors. It was the opening track of
their debut album, The Doors in 1967. Electra Records issued
the song as the group's first single and it reached an underwelming #126
rank in the United States. Despite the single's failure to impact the
record charts, the song became a concert staple for the band and a cult
classic ever since. At that time, Jim Morrison's lyrics revealed a
literacy that had rarely been incorporated into rock music.
"Break On Through" was actually
released before "Light My Fire" which became the band's first #1 hit
spending three weeks at the top spot in the Summer of 1967.
In Week 4 of the BDFL, everybody had their popcorn ready, as advised,
awaiting the shootout that had been forecasted on Twitter for this one,
but in the end, it was just another boring blowout. After starting the
season 0-3, the Blue Deacons showed their patience, class, resilence and
relentlessness to stay the course as they finally broke on through to
the other side to wreck the Bandits 43-22 in a Green Horn Division
grudge-match that dates back to the Snow Rogers vs. Pineywood rivalry
days.
