That story was made up for the Stone movie. Morrison always claimed that he was going to censor himself, but got nervous and simply forgot.

Jim didn’t write the song; he wasn’t married to the lyrics.

The story of adding the “Mother, I want to.......” to The End and getting fired at the Whiskey was true, however.

But those were Jim’s lyrics.

I think the Doors in retrospect were a really pretentious art rock band that somehow made two incredible straight rock albums (the first one and the last one).

“We need a two and a half hour movie about the Doors? Folks, no we don’t. I can sum it up for you in five seconds, ok. “I’m drunk. I’m nobody. I’m drunk. I’m famous. I’m drunk. I’m ____ing dead.” There’s the whole movie, ok!? ‘Big Fat Dead Guy in a Bath Tub’, there’s your title for you.” - Dennis Leary
