NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Here’s news that will light the fire of Jim Morrison fans: A filmmaker claims The Doors’ frontman is alive and raising horses on a ranch in southern Oregon.
Rodeo photographer Gerald Pitts insists Morrison didn’t die in July of 1971 and he has current photographs and film footage of the rocker to prove it.
Pitts, who met Morrison in 1998, says the rocker staged his death because of a French conspiracy to kill him, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix with narcotics because they were all Vietnam war protestors.
These days, Morrison isn’t the drug user he once was, although Pitts says when he goes over to Jim’s house he’ll “maybe have an occasional beer.”
Now Pitts claims that Morrison is announcing he’s alive, in part, to promote his recent agreement to star in a rodeo shoot-out movie based on events that actually happened to Pitts.
Pitts’ whole story airs on A Current Affair tomorrow (May 20).
Well, they did sink, intentionally, mind you, that Greeanpeace ship in NZ, what, about 20 years ago?
In today's society they are, but when they were performing in the 60's & 70's they weren't all that great.
If my memory serves me right.
Does this mean Keith Richards might actually be alive also??
***
Well, he's still walking upright and playing guitar, but then again, that doesn't necessarily mean he's alive.
Amen, sir.
Amen.
Judge Greer's college roommate is still alive. ??
Morrison did fake his death but he died later in a monastery:
Didn't Morrison have some felony charges pending in Florida when he disappeared / died?
HA! None of those pics on the website look anything like him to me even with age.
ACK! Looks like one of those aliens that probed me.
This is the guy that Elvis is the agent for, right?
Eric Cartman?
Is that you?.....;))
Of course I'm probably not a good guage since I'm a guy but heck, I've seen pictures that made Charlie Manson look good (another fella I ran into in Venice a couple of times and that dude was UGLY).
Strange days for sure.
If there are Jim Morrison's sitings, maybe we can trade Greer in for JM.
Huh??? They were most certainly not. Morrison had "Five to One" as a musical protest against war in general. But to my knowledge neither he nor Hendrix ever attended a single protest.
Bend of the nose and chin are identical. Looks like he got an eye job, which always make people not look like themselves.
I'm not sure he ever was.
The only "famous" person I met during that time was Arnold and man, was he one big sucker and looked just like his photos. I lived very close to the original Gold's Gym and Muscle Beach the first year (I'm pretty sure it was the first year but I might have been, uh, suffering from Morrison syndrome) he was training for Mr. Olympia and I swear he was bigger than he looked in Pumping Iron.
Great photo, thanks.
The only famous person I ever saw was Paul Rogers of Bad Co.
He was looking at guitars in Chuck Levine's store in DC and I walked right past him without knowing who he was.
My guitar player boyfriend of the time yanked me backwards so I could properly stare and be impressed.
Whatever.....;))
The entire casts of all the Gods & Generals/Gettysburg films were wandering around the town near where I live for months and although I drove by the building they were using as scenes for indoor shooting several times a week, I never once slowed down to see any of them.
I reckon I'm not a "Hollywood" type of person....:)
