I saw Jim Morrison and The Doors on August 1968 at The Allan Theater in Cleveland,Ohio. It was the summer of my 16th birthday. I have never forgotten how exciting he was on stage. May he rest in poetic peace.

No! He had nothing! Certainly NOT a man! Do you even know what a real man is? A man has honor & integrity & holds his head up high & works hard & does not treat women like objects & curse people & pull his privates out & wave it in a crowd. A man works all day & helps with dinner & marries the woman he loves before trying to have sex with her & cares about others & doing good & helping feed hungry children & gets the junkies off the streets & doesn’t do drugs but hates them because he has seen what they do to a persons body & mind. It is sad but Jim Morrison was NOT an idol to be worshipped. He truly was a man who turned his back on his Mother & Father who raised him & paid for his schooling & he didnt care about his lil sister who loved him either. He didnt care about his band mates nor his fans. He didnt try to help the less fortunate with the money he had, instead he blew it on drugs & in the end, he died in a foreign land, bloated & out of his mind, naked & covered with his own vomit on his face. That my friend, is NOT the measure of a MAN! Not at all. That wasn’t even the least bit cool. It was & still is pathetic.

Love the first album Light my Fire, Break On, Hello, I love you. Second Album Love Street, Touch me. I really loved LA Woman. Riders on the Storm. Jim Morrison changed the face of rock n roll.

Everything about Jim's supposed death, just will NEVER ADD UP or make sense, especially WHY absolutely no one got any proof of Jim being deceased and you would think his family would certainly want that proof and no one bothered...never exhumed the casket.

I also became fond of the Doors' music when I saw the movie... I was 15 years old. From there I collected everything about The Doors and Jim, and once I did I have to say that Morrison was someone infinitely more interesting and great than what Oliver Stone shows in the movie. Val Kilmer plays an extraordinary role but Jim is not represented adequately, there are too many fabrications and half-truths in the film... It only shows the Jim Morrison kamikaze drunk and drug addicted all the time, those who knew him intimately have a very different image. It's obvious that Jim was self-destructive but he was also a truly brilliant, generous scholar... That part of his personality doesn't appear in the movie because it doesn't sell, but that was also the truth.

I saw Janis Joplin’s last 24 hours right before this one. This one was just truely bone chilling to my core. His final 24 hours was filled with so much darkness and mystery especially towards the end. The sad thing is that he could’ve probably either still been with us today or would’ve at least lived longer if he’d gone to get medical attention earlier instead of continuing to party til the end. Jim Morrison was such a dark, mystical, powerful, and beautiful voice of his generation and I personally consider the doors to be a timeless band but Jim was a poet to his core. I feel like that’s why the “rock star” life and image didn’t agree with him well at all. Sadly the spotlight slowly poisoned this man and all we have left now are the memories and the recordings of his voice. Truely beautiful and haunting…. ✌️🤟🤘

And that prediction of the disco dance/electronica/techno music wave actually started only a few years after he died.

One thing that's very misleading, yet they do it on every Doors Biopic...the bathtub scene! There's a video circulating on KZbin that has this guy visiting all the places important to the last days of Jim. He even goes to the Paris flat Jim called home those last few weeks. It IS NOT like they always show it on these programs. For one thing: it's very cramped, not spacious at all. But most importantly, the bathtub is a regular, plain old tub you'd see in anyone's house. It is not a stand-alone big ornate tub with plenty of room to stretch out in. Just a regular old tub. Was actually shocked when I saw the real deal, especially after having a visual of it all these years after watching the Oliver Stone/Val Kilmer movie! But I guess it comes across as much more romantic the way they design the set! Very irritating once you see the actual tub where he passed!

If you were there AT THAT TIME, he did project through his music a dark vibe, tone threaded through it. However the later 60s got darker musically as the anti War movement and the Civil Rights struggles got more serious. You could hear many rock or popular artists at that time put messaging in their music...cuz a lot was going on. Psychedelia was also going on as well. His music came across unique and often felt dark...but we liked him for being different and he reflected the times.

@RedPatriotRisehis life was not dark. Did you not listen to the video? He was essentially a kid revolting against his parents because at a young age he was traumatized and realized the world is not the safe place your parents try and convince you it his, Jim was raised in the cold war atomic families who kids had extremely strict lives and he revealed against this mind set at a young age essentially making him a punk before punk was a thing. He had a disagreement with his father and mother about career options and obviously held a huge gruge against them because they did not support or give him money when he was a dead beat, keeping the grudge so long that when his parents went to see him live in show and support him owning up to their mistakes he sang on stage "mother I want to f**K you and father I want to kill you" while staring directly at them showing what a troubled, delusional and entitled person he was... Jim was dark because he had serious mental issues, these mental issues were caused by being traatized and believing two native american ghosts he called Indians had entered his body... The guy was not mentally stable at all my bruh this is why his often ridiculed as a poet he was mentally not well and his writing showed this. He sung about Vietnam and how bad it was not for political reasons, not because he cared about people but simply to rebel against his father, he did not give a crap about the war he only cared about pissing off his father who was highly involved in the war... People don't seem to understand that Jim Morrison as always been painted as a dark brooding individual because he was lol. He estranged HIMSELF from his family then asked for help for is musical endeavor from his parents in the form of money they refused because he estranged himself but still had the ignorance to ask for money, you are estranged m8 they have zero need to support you then he still holds the grudge, his parents literally showed him tuf love he powered through and made himself a man, showed how determined he was most people would be proud of themselves but he still kept the grudge why lol he is successful... He won at the end but still keeps the grudge... This is the text book example of a highly entitled individual who thinks the world ows him something that his parents and loved ones are supposed to support him even in his alcohol induced periods of chaos... Not how the world works, Jim Morrison was not a dark brooding artist he was a entitled brat with good looks a person used to getting everything he wanted a spoiled single child.... But people refuse to see this and choose to see a dark tortured rebel... The guy was an entitled brat

I was friends with Lonnie Mack, a fantastic musician in his own right and at one time an A&R man for Electra records. He hung out with Jim occasionally and was convinced that Jim was self destructive. He'd get wasted drunk and start street fights with people who he knew were dangerous and would probably beat him up badly. Lonnie was a big rough country boy from Indiana and Jim assumed that Mack would have his back, which he did several times until it got old. Lonnie said Jim was hell bent to destroy himself with substances or with violence so he stopped going out with him but remained his friend til he got sick of California altogether and moved back to Indiana

Jim Morrison and the Doors are still one of my all time favorites but he chose his lifestyle and no excuses by others to that lifestyle will be accepted by me. One comment at the start of this video, "he was crying out for help but nobody knew what to do" was absurd. A more appropriate would be, "he was crying out for help but we all kept taking advantage of him" The Jim Morrison fame and money were beneficial to all of those around him and they knew it to be. Of course, Jim's unique style and song content but also the different sound that the Doors band had was a big seller to me. Play me five different bands of that era without letting me know which and the Doors would be instantly recognized.

The drug dealer was the infamous Count Jean De Breteuil who was the boyfriend of Marianne Faithfull at that time. She stated in 2014 that it was indeed Jean‘s heroin that had killed Jim. So both left Paris within hours after Jim‘s death. The heroin was reportedly very pure and strong. Considering Jim‘s already critical physical condition, it was inevitably fatal. Until her own heroin overdose three years later, Pam had kept on telling her friends like Danny Sugarman that it was her heroin that had killed Jim.

Correct.. but that's not how it went down. Jim overdosed on heroin in the toilets at the Rock n Roll Circus. His friends found him there and carried him out of the side entrance and took him back to the house. He may have died before they even got him home. They put him in a cold bath to try and revive him and when that didn't work and they realised he was dead they got rid of all the evidence of heroin and made up a story that Pam then delivered to the Police. They were protecting themselves from prosecution as the suppliers of the drugs. Makes more sense now, doesn't it.

Such a shame, Jim was severely misunderstood. What a beautiful man who despite success.... was a very lonely man who had the world at his feet. May you have peace and God bless.

If they didn't seek out their Creator to meet and know Him, they will have failed at the highest purpose in life. Sure, Jesus has wanted for us --- a good and happy life, but our Creator also has wanted for us to meet and know HIM, as well. Don't fail to seek Him and get to know Him. Jesus said: "You can enter God’s Kingdom only through the narrow gate. The highway to hell is broad, and its gate is wide for the many who choose that way." ... Most people don't even think about God. It's the most important thing in life.

It’s too bad he never realized his dream of being an esteemed poet. It must have sucked having to settle for world famous rock god and icon of his time.

I’ve heard amazing stories of when the doors played “the warehouse” along the Mississippi River in New Orleans. My old boss Bonnie attended their concerts like 4 times. She told me the stories and I was mesmerized. Just a great band. One for the ages.

This Saturday the 3rd of July will be the 50th anniversary of Jim's death. Light a candle, listen to a Doors concert and have a good drink, toast to his legacy. Wherever he is now, I'm sure would appreciate it.
