I met Morrison a couple of times when I was living in Venice before he got famous and believe me, he didn't look anything like the publicity photos. Of course he was pretty wasted but think stringy, greasy hair and none of the definition that's usually in his pictures. While he was skinny his face was a lot more bloated than in his photos.
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.
