Tricky Question Alert: Yes, there is at least 1!
Question #1: Before becoming famous, The Doors worked as the house band at the Whiskey a Go Go on the Sunset Strip. True or False?
T. True, or
F. False.
As
the house band at the Whiskey a Go Go on the Sunset Strip, they had
built a large local following and strong industry buzz, and out on the
road, they were fast becoming known as a band that might typically
receive third billing, but could blow better-known groups like The
Young Rascals and The Grateful Dead off the stage.

Question
#2: Although their debut
single, “Break On
Through,” failed to make the national sales
charts, The Doors tried to raise the song’s popularity by repeatedly calling in
requests for it to local L.A. radio stations. True or
False?[SOURCE: The Doors score their first #1 hit with “Light My Fire”]
T. True, or
F. False.
It would have been poetic if their popular breakthrough had come via their now-classic debut single, “Break On Through,” but that record failed to make the national sales charts despite
the efforts of Jim Morrison and his bandmates to fuel the song’s
popularity by repeatedly calling in requests for it to local L.A. radio
stations.
It was the follow-up release from their debut album, The Doors, which would become their first bona fide smash. “Light My Fire,” which earned the top spot in the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1967, transformed The Doors from cult favorites of the rock cognoscenti into international pop stars and avatars of the 60s counterculture.

Question
#3: The Doors' lead vocalist and
frontman, Van
Morrison, died in his bathtub (apparently of heart
failure) and is
buried in the famous Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris. True
or False?It was the follow-up release from their debut album, The Doors, which would become their first bona fide smash. “Light My Fire,” which earned the top spot in the Billboard Hot 100 on this day in 1967, transformed The Doors from cult favorites of the rock cognoscenti into international pop stars and avatars of the 60s counterculture.

T. True, or
F. False.
OK! OK! Here's the Trick Question:
Jim, not Van, Morrison was the the lead vocalist and frontman for The Doors!
Sir George Ivan "Van" Morrison, OBE (born 31 August 1945) is a Northern Irish singer, songwriter and musician.
In an attempt to get his life back in order, Morrison took time off
from the Doors in the spring of 1971 and moved to Paris with Courson.
However, he continued to be plagued by drugs and depression.
On July 3, 1971, Courson found Morrison dead in the bathtub of their apartment, apparently of heart failure.
Since the French officials found no evidence of foul play, no autopsy was performed, which has in turn led to endless speculation and conspiracy theorizing about his death.
Jim Morrison was buried at the famous Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, and his grave has since become one of the city's top tourist destinations. He was only 27 years old at the time of his death.
