Filmmaker Claims Jim Morrison Is Alive In Oregon

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).

Jim Morrison was a third baseman for the Pirates in the mid-80's.

I've seen this guy's photos of the supposed Jim Morrison, and they look nothing like him at all...

I saw that movie. It was a Larry Buchanan bio-pic. In it, Morrison did fake his death but he died later in a monestary:

This is hilarious. Cowboy is an odd choice for Morrison. I wonder if his Indian soul got upset.

Here's the link for this guy's website:

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

He can afford any lawsuit. He's mentioned in the Howard Hughes will.
