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).

Y'know, Kaufman was such the nut, when his buddy told the world he might not be dead last year I had a few moments of "Well, he just might . . ."

[zbigreddogz]

I actually think there is a .1% chance this is true. A 99.9% chance of being false, but not completely impossible.

Has anybody read 'No One Gets Out Alive'? It's a Morrison Biography written back in the 70's I believe, and the circumstances surrounding his death were reeeeeaaaallllllyyyy weird, and I think only one person actually said they saw his body, and that was his girlfriend.

Not saying I believe it, I don't, at all, but if I he was on the evening news, in a few weeks, I would be stunned, but not like, say, having Elvis show up.

[Xenalyte]

Yeah, but they DO look a lot like Val Kilmer.


Jim Morrison (God, but he was gorgeous)


Val as Jim (not bad, not bad at all)

Elvis, when not performing for the locals, works in the kitchen at The Lantern in Cumming, Georgia.

I know this, because I done seed him through the waitress' lookie-hole.

They are posting pictures of Saddam in his tighty whities on the other thread right now...

[Focault's Pendulum]

Maybe so, but I'm Spartacus.

No! I am Spartacus!!

Do it one more time....and I'm suing for identity theft.

I got Mark Geragos as my attorney......

......nevermind....you're Spartacus.

PAPER SPLASHES SADDAM UNDERWEAR

[mplsconservative]

Now we know this story simply cannot be true.

The Frenchies love cheese eating, surrender monkey anti-war protestors.

Why would they ever want to kill Janis, Jimi and Jim?

[mysterio]

I love the Doors.

[weegee]

Serge Gainsbourg demanded it?

[mplsconservative]

Serge Gainsbourg demanded it?

Oui. Ze dirty mouth of French pop did not wish to be upstaged.

Alors!

[Rodney King]

So they investigate this guy and it turns out he's not Jim Morrison, he's D. B. Cooper....

D.B. Cooper is Barry Seal, of Iran Contra fame.

[Rodney King]

Here he is, doesn't look like him to me:

[MoochPooch]

Maybe Newsweek will post this. ;-)

[perfect stranger]

It would still be lies.

[sharktrager]

The French actually were strongly on our side when it came to Viet Nam. It had been their war and they were not happy with the north at all.

[perfect stranger]

You are correct.

[rockrr]

Wasn't this already covered in "Eddie & The Cruisers"?

[Rockingham]

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 protesters.

In addition to all the other absurdities of the claim, Jimi Hendrix was a veteran and a flaming, pro-US, adamant anti-communist supporter of the Viet Nam War with generally conservative views. If Hendrix had lived, he might have ended up running for Congress as a Republican or at least doing concerts for our side.

I've never heard that before. I have always felt guilty for liking him - assuming that he was a hippie loser. Do you have a link?
