]]>Novoselic will naturally play the bass on the show while the vocal will be performed by several singers that will try to fill Jim Morrison’s shoes. Among the singers are Dave Stewart from Eurythmics, Haley Reinhart, and Micah Nelson.
The set will be about 30 minutes long and the setlist is still to be decided. Densmore, who is usually responsible for setting the setlist for The Doors’ shows, said he is used to “wing it.”
“Corralling musicians is like corralling cats,” he said.
Apart from The Doors and Novoselic, The Homeward Bound Charity Concert will feature other big names such as Jason Mraz, Fitz and the Tantrums, and Ingrid Michaelson with Maddie Poppe. The concert revenues will go towards the fight against homelessness throughout California.
“This homelessness thing, it’s a problem in every city; it’s a huge problem. It’s not just L.A., it’s everywhere. And why is that? Because the gap between the rich and the poor is the biggest in the history of our country. There’s big problems; you can’t just put a band-aid on it,” said Densmore.

]]>Living Beastie Boys members, Mike Diamond and Adam Horovitz, will contribute text to the photo book and Jonze will write the afterword. The book is available now on pre-order.
“When they met for the first time in Los Angeles in 1993, the Beastie Boys and Spike Jonze were rising stars of their respective fields – the golden ages of both east coast hip hop and MTV. Immediately a connection formed between the three MCs and the young filmmaker, which has lasted throughout their careers,” Rizzoli said. “This book shows the greatest act of the hip hop generation in their truest colors as only a close friend could see them–from going on stage at Lollapalooza to writing together at Mike D’s apartment; getting into character for a video to dressing up as old men to hit the basketball court; recording an album in the studio in Los Angeles to goofing around the streets of New York.”
