"The fact that he's dead is unfortunate but looking back on his life it's a very pleasant thought."

The father of late The Doors singer Jim Morrison has branded the death of his estranged son "unfortunate," despite the rocker often singing about his family's imagined demise.

George Morrison, a retired Navy admiral, insists memories of his rocker son are "pleasant" - even though he once joked his parents were dead and used Oedipal rant "The End" to imagine killing his dad and sleeping with his mother.

However, in a new memoir of the band, George remains positive about his child.

Contributing to "The Doors by The Doors" he says, "We look back on him with great delight.

"The fact that he's dead is unfortunate but looking back on his life it's a very pleasant thought.

"I had the feeling that he felt we'd just as soon not be associated with his career. He knew I didn't think rock music was the best goal for him. Maybe he was trying to protect us."

Morrison died in Paris, France of a heart attack in 1971.

[ Jim Morrison, lived in Albuquerque as a child and according to his own legend, was possessed by the spirit of an Indian road-construction worker who died in a car wreck north of the Duke City. ]<p.
LoL.... Now thats funny...

It's not what you see above ground that matters. Besides, maybe they folded him in half to save space.

I feel guilty but I am laughing out loud.

"He knew I didn't think rock music was the best goal for him."

I agree! I read all of Jim Morrisons astrolgy charts and it seems to make sense that he faked it! You may see for yourself

To fake his own death would have been too hard. Jim must have had outside help and his dad would have had the connections to make it happen. Do you really think Jim Morrison had a come to jesus moment and snuck out of his own life so carefully?

Doors and Stones were in my top two or top five... It is too early AM to decide which it is.
