Aboard the USS Hancock off South Korea, December 3, 1968:
South Korean Prime Minister Chung Il Kwon is flanked by his hosts, Rear Adm. George S. Morrison, left, commander of Carrier Division Nine, and Vice Adm. William F. Bringle, commander of the U.S. 7th Fleet in the Pacific, as he watches jets from Air Wing 21 take off and land on the deck of the carrier USS Hancock. Morrison, father of singer Jim Morrison of The Doors, later served as commander of U.S. Naval Forces, Marianas, before retiring in August, 1975. In January of that year, an Australian humanitarian group dealing with Vietnamese refugees on Guam praised "the high degree of compassion and respect accorded to every single refugee, the fine example set by (Rear) Adm. G.S. Morrison being followed by each American serviceman and servicewoman."

Jims best career move was taking a dirt nap. Daddy sure wasn't too proud of his son.

I always wonder what people like Morrison and Hendrix even Kobain would be like today had they sobered up and lived to older age.
Gary Busey comes to mind. He's crazy, but he means well.

Funny.
I'm kind of delighted that I don't have much reason to look back at him at all.

It's called
rebellion. The '60s was awash with it and we live its bitter legacy today.
Father was a prominent member of the US military, a pillar of the establishment. Son becomes a dissolute, drug-addled rock musician. The former embraces a career which is built on discipline. The latter lives a life of total self-indulgence and excess.
It's almost a cliche by now.
Jim's dad knows his son spat in his face but as one's own end approaches, the urge to forgive and let bygones be bygones increases substantially.

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.
