This is Chuck Beamus, and Dudley was the man that introduced me to The Doors. We were in the Army and he was the California Kid, somebody that I had never seen before—coming from Kansas—pretty sheltered. Dudley had opened my eyes to what the ‘hip california Dude’ was all about and The Doors and the whole thing.
