Attention Chicago Doors Fans!

No, Kevin, I'm not referring to Chicagoland area fans of wooden planks on hinges. As I wrote about on the penultimate day of last July, there is now-relatively new documentary about The Doors called When You're Strange. It features previously unseen footage of the band between 1965 and Jim Morrison's death in 1971, and it is narrated by Johnny Depp. In my opinion, The Doors are the best American rock band of all-time, and Jim Morrison is one of the most magnetic and intriguing figures in rock history. Clearly, I can't wait to see this.

It was briefly in select theaters, and it will be on PBS here in Chicago (Channel 11 -- the channel with Antiques Roadshow) several times this week. Get your acid and DVR ready. Here are the showtimes:
-Wednesday 5/12 9 p.m.
-Thursday 5/13 3 p.m. (this one's on WTTW Prime -- channel 11.2)
-Saturday 5/15 10 p.m.
-Sunday 5/16 3 a.m.

Thanks to Bohmann for the heads up. For your enjoyment, here is the trailer:
