I was 14. He was 27. I wasn't a "fan," but he was a truly strong singer and the music (not lyrics) was mostly interesting and above average, I'd say. This coming from a person who mostly rejected the music of her era. I was so glad when disco finally died. Will be glad when Rap hits the skids, as it will.

I absolutely believe the then-21-year-old nightclub owner. That's the way it would go down. The truth will out. The guy was a tormented soul with hypnotic stage talent born in an age just technically able to create instant Western fame. Somehnow, it reminds me of Tombstone. Doc's famous epitaph for Johnny Ringo comes to mind:

"He was just too high-strung."

It sounds plausible to me as well. I read one Doors' biography that claimed Morrison had already been buried before the three other members of the band were even informed of his death.
