Are there still people claiming that Jim Morrison didn’t really die?

Well, if you believe everything Presley says...

Obviously, dying was a good career move.

The book “noone gets out of here alive” about the life and times showed morrison to be a really messed up individual.His father recently passed away and was the youngest admiral in the navy.

His ghost has turned 40, and is still having a devil of a time stuffing that thing back into his jeans.
An embarrassing way to go through eternity.

.. which crossed the line into the leud one night in Miami and got him arrested..

I was there that night with my future wife and my best friend and his gal.

It was my (now) wife's birthday and she loved Morrison.
(Dinner Key Auditorium.)

BTW: The Florida state clemency board has pardoned Morrison of his conviction for indecent exposure and profanity during that concert.

I have no reason to lie about this.

I was born and raised in South Florida (Lauderdale) and not only was it my wife’s birthday .. I had just received my ‘induction’ papers and it was my last 48 hours before heading to camp at Fort Bragg.

I know .. none of this is ‘proof’ of my claim but .. there is no way for me to do that because .. I no longer have our tickets.

(I have also spent a drunken evening in the local jail with Sylvester Stewart ‘Sly Stone’ but .. That is a whole nother story!)

I can tell you so many stories about South Florida in the 60’s and 70’s but .. I’m gonna write a book! 8)

And we laugh like soft, mad children
Smug in the wooly cotton brains of infancy
The music and voices are all around us.
Choose, they croon, the Ancient Ones
The time has come again
Choose now, they croon
Beneath the moon
Beside an ancient lake
Enter again the sweet forest
Enter the hot dream
Come with us
Everything is broken up and dances.

I have no idea if that story is true.
My best friend Gary had gone to take a wiz and all of a sudden the crowd went crazy.
There were cops heading up front and when my buddy got back .. "he" claimed that Morrison was peeing all over the girls up front by the stage.

All of us .. and I DO mean Everyone was totally wasted .. on booze or just on the smoke from the weed that was so thick you couldn't see the stage from where we were! 8)

I saw Elvis at a Convenience Store just the other day. He got away before I could even say hello.

And we took concerts like that for granted back then.

Somehow hiphop and rap and sampling just doesn’t measure up.
