Death of a Rockstar: Jim Morrison's Final 24 Hours

[@sc00b3rt]

My dad hung out with the doors before they got super popular. He said morrison was quiet and kept to himself. He said the rest of the band was super chill and nice.

[@julianbrowne7026]

That is exactly what people I know say..

[@mkm6458]

Excellent show here, thank you. I was there. The Doors are still probably the most influential band in my life. I am a musician and songwriter. Jim was a real poet.

[@nancy.g-son]

Thanks for sharing a doc about Jim!

[@lizmorrison1624]

I was having a bad day until ….. this video popped up on my phone ❤ I love him and listen to his music . He’s gotten me thru some bad times ❤

[@MrCtsSteve]

Jim's a legend . Great band

[@martindunstan8043]

Without doubt,Morrison was a talented singer/songwriter but the other band members John Densmore,Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger were very talented musicians in their own right. Together, they were awesome. Damn shame that Jim Morrison had his demons and couldn't shift them.

@@deevineinterventions I think its better they showed us this "romantisized" version. There are so many things they didnt put in movie, cuz Jim and Doors are still having respectable number admirers and audience (including me when younger)... But, ofc you have the point - the movie is quite inaccurate.

[@jamestakacs]

Terrific program. Thank you. Indeed, The Doors were different. In Northern California you had The Grateful Dead . In Southern California you had your beach type of music. Then came The Doors and all things changed in Southern California.

[@CelineNadeau]

I like to say that what people do doesn’t matter as much as why they do it… and I may be wrong, but I feel Jim’s poetry, his brilliance and his darkness both, were born out of love, and despair-not ego.

[@me67226]

Mick Jagger was never hansome. Jim had that all wrapped up

[@spiritualarchitect4276]

Arthur Rimbaud was Jim’s favorite poet. There was an old story that gunrunners were out to kill him. So Rimbaud faked his death, left Paris, and went to Africa. And lived there until his death at the age of 90. Did Jim do the same thing? “Remember when we were in Africa.” ~ Wild Child, 1969 On the morning of July third, a man claimed he saw Jim Morrison board a plane at the airport. That plane went to Africa. Jim had told friends, “Brian, Janis, Jimi - you’re drinkin’ with number four”. Jim had heard the “Paul Is Dead” story. On the anniversary of Brian Jones death, did Jim fake his own death, and split to Africa, telling Pam he would send for her later? "Last words, Last words out." ~ Those were the last words Morison wrote in his notebook in Paris. So was it Premonition, Suicide or Splitsville? “I’ve never been so broke that I couldn’t leave town… I'm leavin' town on the midnight train… I’m a Changeling… see me change" ~ The Changeling, 1971 According to Alain Ronay: “I returned with them to Paris and moved into the apartment. Pam had her own life entirely. She wasn’t always around, but for the whole of June I lived with Morrison, practically 24 hours a day. I won’t deny he was a dark and complicated person, or that Pam was a basket case. But strike the fact that Jim was despondent, or drug addicted, or terminally depressed. He was living his dream, and that had nothing to do with rock. He was delighted at the success of L.A. Woman, but his pleasure lay elsewhere.” Likewise, Chauvel did not believe Morrison was in the club to buy drugs. “He didn’t need to buy in there. I never saw him take drugs, but he was always alcoholised, heavy on his words, a bit emotional. He’d be silent then he’d get up and say something really loud. You could see in his eyes, he had something important he wanted to say with a lot of energy, but it wouldn’t get past his mouth. It went through his eyes for a moment. That was it. He was fed up. He was not in a good place.” “The first official who saw Morrison’s dead body was Alain Raisson, the French fireman/paramedic… he confirms the story of his arrival at the apartment with a team of five. The body was warm, so the team hurriedly tried to revive the singer. “We carried him onto the bed, to do cardiac massage,” he says. “We tried to revive him and failed. It was a short, intense, very real and brief encounter.” The warmth, they realized later, had come from the still warm bath.” “The doctor who arrived a few minutes later was amazed when told that the man dressed in a Moroccan gown was only 27. “HE LOOKS MUCH OLDER. I WOULD HAVE SAID A 57 YEAR-OLD,” the doctor exclaimed. He was happy to suggest that the patient had died of natural causes. Heart failure, possibly brought about by respiratory problems, was his verdict. No need for an autopsy. When Bernett wrote his book he contacted Raisson and the chief paramedic. “The fireman told me he knew Morrison died much earlier. He said ‘This guy’s been dead for a couple of hours, at least’.’ The police commissioner told me the same thing. ‘We knew there was something wrong with the story’, he said. ‘But, look it’s summertime and I’m going on vacation tomorrow’. He wanted to wrap it up quick so he signed the papers. He didn’t believe the story he was told in the apartment. He said it was strange and phony, but he let it go.” By 9am that Saturday the local police were swarming all over Rue Beautreillis and a small crowd of onlookers had gathered on the street. Courson and Ronay managed to leave the apartment on two occasions: to contact an undertaker, and to secure a Death Certificate at the Town Hall - much to the Chief of Police’s annoyance. Before he arrived, Pamela managed to flush her stash of heroin down the toilet and burnt a selection of Jim Morrison’s letters and notes. “Why?” she was asked later, as the grate smouldered. “THEY MUSTN’T READ THIS... THIS STUFF,” she announced.” So if Jim left any message of leaving town alive - Pam destroyed it. James Douglas Morrison’s final notebook read: “Regret for wasted nights & wasted years - I pissed it all away - American Music”. “Last words, Last words. Out”. To quote Ray Manzarek: “How do you even know Jim was in the coffin? How do you know it wasn’t 150 lbs. of f ing sand?”

Error here - The "doors of perception" is from Aldous Huxley, not William Blake.

[@sainjawoof3506]

I believe he was highly intelligent, artistically talented, and likely neurodivergent. Many of his behaviours and actions fit the patterns of certain categories. I believe he truly did suffer and masking was extremely difficult for him. RIP lizard 🦎 king 👑

[@MrHeysus91]

He wasn’t a rockstar. The guy was a poet.

[@arricammarques1955]

Yeah, Jim was rarely comfortable with his public persona. Probably self medicating to deal with internal anxieties.

[@angelap32]

The story was told weird how it went back and forth back and forth I'm not sure why it had to be told that way

You unfortunately need to know everything before watching to put it together. But I liked all the new people getting their input and I love a new doc about Jim/Doors, so 😄👍

Really would have been better if they just showed what he did each hour by showing how many hours left without having to say it each time and come up with a stupid senseless pun or phrase that says how many hours he has left. It's really annoying

Frog is my favorite song by the doors! So hilarious that are government was even more pathetic back then, and targeted freaking musicians who sang about Revolution and being against the war I can't believe they seriously didn't realize they had better things to focus on

There are reports of jim coughing blood. He was sick, and i wonder if he had TB.

[@Rosy43hh]

Alcoholism can cause this also

[@deevineinterventions]

I love Jim Morrison. Shame the movie about the Doors was so inaccurate. I think a heroin OD was more than likely the cause of his death as he wasn’t used to doing it.

Uncle Tony is a 0:50 phoney. Alcohol is just as bad as any drug. Especially on your liver, smoking is bad for liver too. But I don't think Jim died from heroin.

Yep, he was demon possessed - it's that simple, like soooo many "normal" people today!

[@jessecole1109]

@@CherieB-y3w Although it sounds counterintuitive, there was quite some evidence that it is true right before Limbaugh died. Mostly voice and facial recognition patterns but also Morrison's father was a high ranking military intelligence officer. Often people of this class play different roles in the theater. Jmmi Hendrix became Morgan Freeman, for instance. You can research these claims yourself.
