The Eagle will celebrate this historic rock and roll moment this weekend, with a "The Doors Weekend". You will get plenty of The Doors as we sit back and laugh about how sensitive things were on network TV in 1967.

The word was "higher". Mr. Morrison do not say, "Girl we couldn't get much HIGHER" on The Ed Sullivan Show.Think about that in 2016 and what we see and hear on television.

According to Buzzfeed as of 2010 there were 68 Words you Can't say on TV. (by the way the list using the link is NSFW) Now there are plenty of obvious ones, but here are my favorite odd balls:

  • Bust a Nut
  • Hershey Highway
  • Mofo

Now back to the weekend, here is Ray Manzarek of The Doors explaining what went down behind the camera at The Ed Sullivan Show, September 17th 1967.
