Doors Krieger Manzarek Chen JSA collage + Yaqui California License Plate Morrison Indian

Description

This is a true one of a kind piece, a record album signed by the two original Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist, Robbie Krieger, as well as Brian Chen which formed the band Wasted Space.. The Album is authenticated by JSA James Spence Authentication  This rare American Prayer album was personally custom-framed with the license plate from John Densmore’s Cream BMW, which he sold to seller’s colleague along with the vehicle.

As with many young people, he went through a phase of seeking out flashy cars such as a Mercedes and Jaguar, but Densmore’s view on car ownership has completely changed.”When I was in my 20s I went through my testosterone phase and had a Mercedes to show that I’m rich, and they used to call me ‘Jaguar John,'” Densmore says

The personalized California license plate reads “Yaqui,” The name of the Indian tribe from which the spirit of the Indian famously jumped into Jim Morrison’s body, as the well-known legend goes:.

“Morrison traced his nature to an early event (“the most important moment of my life”), when he was 4. Traveling near Albuquerque, his family came upon an accident involving Pueblo Indians. Several were dying on the roadside, and after as the Morrisons left the scene, the boy became more and more hysterical. He later claimed that at that time the soul of a dying Indian had entered his body”.

The license plate was gifted to me circa 1986 when the new owner of the BMW a personal friend replaced the license plate with his own personalized California license plate.
