NO? Why do you say that? The Hull "Mouth" reference...? That was "Hellmouth"

October 12, 1967 at The Surf Nantasket in Hull, MA I was among the few to attend a concert by the Doors. It is one of my fondest memories. We showed up for the first show and it was cancelled. Some say it was because of a lack of ticket sales and others say it was because the band was late. But when the show was canceled we traipsed down the street to a little Italian restaurant to eat. After we were seated the Doors entered the empty restaurant and were put at the table next to us. I watched Jim Morrison, not ten feet away from me, down two bottles of wine with dinner and then proceed to put on a fantastic show.

Wow John! What a great story. Confirmed the venue from back then just now with my brother-in-law who grew up in the area.

So many great Italian places here to this day!

Hull was a great bike ride when I was a kid from Scituate, through Cohasset via Jerusalem Rd. and out onto the peninsula. Now I'm getting nostalgic for the old wooden roller coaster at Paragon Park.
