Too bad Jim Morrison joined the "27 Club" and The Doors ended. I'm open to the possibility of him faking his death due to the mysterious circumstances surrounding it. Jim had talked about faking his death as a publicity stunt, but if that were true I think he would have returned at some point. Still, such questions remain: Why was there no autopsy? Why did Jim's girlfriend, Pamela Courson, lie to the American Embassy, stating Morrison had no immediate family, which allowed for a quick, no-questions-asked burial? There wasn’t even a priest. Doors keyboardist, Ray Manzarek, asked Doors manager Bill Siddons, “How do you even know Jim was in the coffin? How do you know it wasn’t 150 lbs. of fucking sand?” Ray Manzarek later said, "We don’t know what happened to Jim in Paris. To be honest, I don’t think we’re ever going to know. Rumors, innuendoes, self-serving lies, psychic projections to justify inner needs and maladies, and just plain goofiness cloud the truth. There are too many conflicting theories.” -- So I will just leave it at that and celebrate Jim's legacy and the music he left behind.
I always thought it was pretty cool how Jim Morrison predicted the future of music. He was spot on. What a genius!!
