Hello Ward,

 LL>> [note by Lee - Jim Morrison would be 71 years young today]

 LL>> You know that it would be untrue
 LL>> If I was to say to you ...

 WD> If Jim Morisson wouldn't have died from one kind of drugs, he would've die
 WD> from another.

Jim Morrison was not a junkie.  His common law wife was, but not Jim.

 WD> The man was on a path of self-destruction.

The movie version of his life was very deceptive, presenting
a false picture of who Jim was.  He was never addicted to drugs,
and although he did enjoy a good drink (sometimes several), he
was not an alcoholic.  The man was a poet, a lover of fine arts,
and of women (not just music), kind of a modern-day Dionysus.

 WD> Personally I don't think he was that great at all and neither were The
 WD> Doors, pretty bad instrumentalists even ...

The keyboardist was decent, but had a weird style of play.
His compositions were original, to say the least.  After Jim
had gone to his heaven, the remaining members of The Doors
tried to make a comeback, but that didn't last long.

 WD> 2 weeks from now I'm going to inspect his grave ...

Do realize that nobody is buried there.  His common law wife
had only leased it for thirty years, and the lease ran out a few
years ago.  But the French government decided to let it remain
in place, apparently rent-free, forever.  You can thank the
tourists for that.

"I am The Lizard King!  I can do anything!" - Jim Morrison

Jim Morrison was crazy.  And if he could have come back from
the dead, he would have.  Why did he have a closed coffin at his
funeral?  The guy was only 27 years old at the time of his death,
from a heart attack (according to the coronor), with no autopsy
having been conducted.  Did Jim fake his own death?  Some people
think he did.  And the pictures on youtube do not lie, showing
what appears to be an ageing, but very intoxicated, Jim Morrison ...
