>> jim morrison, the lead singer for the doors, a rock music group, is dead. he was 27. >> the early years of the '70s in music was sad because you lose people and you lose the beatles. >> this small gathering is only the beginning. the event is so momentous that historians may one day view it as a landmark in the decline of the british empire. the beatles are breaking up. >> it was like a death for a lot of people. rock and roll as we understood in the 1960s was no longer with us. >> there will never be another beatles, never. ♪ >> i wonder what i'm doing here with no drummers or nothing like that. you might know i lost my old band, or i left it.
