He's been dead way longer than he was alive.

I used to have this book (now lists for $250 on Amazon!!)



quote:

Several years ago, I found this book at a local newspaper stand. I had heard so many rumors of Jim Morrison being alive and well and living in Louisiana that I decided to buy it. It is apparently authored by a local eccentric form a relatively influential family from Baton Rouge, who actually changed his name to Jim Morrison on the grounds that the late rock star's spirit entered his LSD-laced body during a Mardi Gras at Lee's Circle, and then inspired him to shake the establishment by subverting it's finacial institutions.It's difficult to tell if the many misspelled words are done so unwittingly or with artistic intent, or are the loose associations of a psychotic mind. Strangely enough, there is reportedly some truth to the author's claims of swindling the Bank of America (although he states that the story is classifed as fiction for the purposes of judicial review), and he actually later ran for lieutenant governor of Louisiana on the platform that he was the perfect person for a high-paying, do-nothing job.

Who is this person?!

I remember reading that bizarre book. It was written by someone named Castleberry, I believe.

he wanted to be a poet more than a musician.

Him and Manzarek made the Doors what they were. I like the doors a lot.

Disagree. I have always loved The Doors. Don't get all the hate they have had (although it seems somewhat recent).

Jim was one of the most intriguing figures in Rock history. Something about his presence captivated the audience and in turn, drew a mass following. His untimely death further propelled his cult status.

in music it seems that a lot of people just say what the next person says without really finding out for themselves.

I am not saying that is the case on this board, but have noticed that IRL people seem to take on the opinions of people they talk to before finding out if they agree or not.

Never liked The Doors... Manzarek did produce some great X records, so he cant be that bad... Cant seem to find any redeeming qualities in Jim though...
