. "The Doors are not pleasant, amusing hippies proffering a grin and a flower; they wield a knife with a cold and terrifying edge. The Doors are closely akin to the national taste for violence, and the power of their music forces each listener to realize what violence is in himself."-John Stickney 1968

About The Doors/Jim Morrison; Jimi Hendrix; and Janis Joplin's deaths. And when Jim Morrison's ex-wife got her inheritance a year later she bought an ounce of 'china-white' heroin and OD'd / died the same night she got the money. No one got out of that story alive!

I love Five to One (No One Here Gets Out Alive)! Jim Morrison was always an intellectual. He was a poet. He was more than a rock star that took too much peyote or LSD or cocaine. I have all his bios and his poetry books and An American Prayer on CD. Even in his lyrics, Jim was an intellectual. He never wrote "dumb, catchy hooks". He read German Philosophers like Friedrich Nietzsche and Franz Kafka. Jim Morrison is who got ME into reading Nietzsche and Kafka. Jim had a GENIUS IQ of 149. He met Ray Manzarek in UCLA Film School. He was going to be a filmmaker before he told Ray about his poetry lyrics and they formed The Doors. Jim Morrison was amazing. He was definitely more than you see if that falsified movie Oliver Stone put out in 1991 where Stone made up some of Jim's history for "dramatic license". Jim started out with drugs for enlightenment. He'd go out in the desert and just spend the day high as if he were on a spiritual journey. But even after the Miami Indecency Trial. He went to Paris to unwind from it all fully intending to return to the states. He had a phone conversation with either Ray or Robby Krieger talking about how great the L.A. Woman album was coming along and how he couldn't wait to sing the songs live. His death due to a cocaine-induced heart failure just happened to be when he was in a bathtub in Paris. "I see myself as an intelligent, sensitive human, with the soul of a clown which forces me to blow it at the most important moments." -- Jim Morrison "If my poetry aims to achieve anything, it's to deliver people from the limited ways in which they see and feel." -- Jim Morrison My Top 20 Doors Songs: Five to One (No One Here Gets Out Alive), Ghost Song, Roadhouse Blues, The WASP (Texas Radio and the Big Beat), Riders on the Storm, Moonlight Drive, Alabama Song (Whiskey Bar), The Unknown Soldier (Live at the Hollywood Bowl 1968), Not To Touch the Earth, The Crystal Ship, Peace Frog, People Are Strange, Love Me Two Times, L.A.

I also read John Densmore's book, and a book by one of Jim's girl friends I think her name was Patricia Kennely. In the summer of 1967 I was an au pair from Denmark in Westport Ct. I met and dated a Westport native, Jeff Simon. He was going to collge in Miami. We were both very young (I was 22 he was about a year younger) so it was just a causual summer fling. However, when he returned to Westport in the summer of 68 we dated again for a month, until I met someone I felt madly in love with. Jeff was very interested in photography. In the summer of 69 we were both living in New York and spent week ends in Westport, by then Jeff and I were just good friends, I was still dating the guy I have fallen in love with the summer before. Jeff was a model with the Eileen Ford agency, very cute. About 12 years ago, years after I read "No one gets out of here alive", I was looking at the pictures and noticed the photo of Jim with the baby lamp, has the name Jeff Simon under it. All of sudden a light bulb went off in my head. It is a common name, but I knew Jeff went on to a great career as a photographer and cinematographer, so I did some research on the internet, and found out, it was the Jeff I knew that took that photo, he was at the famed Miami concert and was a witness in the trial of Jim Morrison. I'm happy to report he was on Jim's side. I found Jeff's webpage, send him an email and lo and behold heard back from him. We talked on the phone a few times, refreshed old memories, stayed in contact through emails for some time. Sadly he died about a year in his mid seventies.

@@hannejeppesen1809 Jim and Patricia Kennealy did a Pagan handfasting ceremony, not really sanctioned by anything other than in Patricia's mind. Jim was drunk and high so he never took it serious. She did though and tries to use a hyphenated "Kennealy-Morrison" name. All she cares about is the "name recognition. She helped Oliver Stone with the Doors movie in 1991, which how you get a bunch of HER scenes in it. But the band didn't approve of the end result of that movie or the liberty Oliver Stone took with rewriting Jim Morrison's life history with scenes about things that DID NOT happen for "dramatic license" with that movie. Pamela Courson was the love of Jim's life. Pamela is the girlfriend the fans all accept as Jim's actual love interest, and Pamela was the one with him in Paris when he died.
