Sweet Jasmine

The Doors 'Light My Fire' hit number one on the Top 100 Chart fifty-four years ago this week - way back in 1967.
I was fourteen.
I clearly remember listening to that particular countdown with my best friend on his transistor radio. We were lounging about in traditional old cutoffs, tee shirts, barefoot, of course. It was a hot, sultry summer day, and the air was sweet with the smell of jasmine covering his folks' patio.
He said in advance of the top pick that it would be this song.
And as he was older, and wiser, and followed such mysteries, I believed him.
