AN ARSONIST SWEPT THROUGH THE HOLLYWOOD AREA UNDER COVER OF DARKNESS ON FRIDAY, TORCHING VEHICLES WHOSE FLAMES IGNITED NEARBY HOUSES, INCLUDING ONE ONCE OCCUPIED BY DOORS FRONTMAN JIM MORRISON.
Growing up, my mom had serious cred with friends of mine for having palled around with Janis Joplin, the Grateful Dead, and other Haight-Ashbury (less famous) standards–once, even kicking Jimi Hendrix out of her house when he’d shown up with a friend of hers extremely drunk (or extremely something).
A man who says he is the son of Jim Morrison, the late front man for the band The Doors, is facing charges of robbery and ramming a police car during a chase last year in Ontario.
Wearing an orange jail jumpsuit and restraints on his wrists and ankles, Clifford Marston Morrison sat in the jury box of a Rancho Cucamonga courtroom on Friday, waiting for his case to be called.
Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger paid tribute to their late bandmate, singer Jim Morrison, by visiting his Paris grave on the 40th anniversary of the Lizard King's death today (July 3).
FORMER MEMBERS OF THE DOORS MARKED THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF JIM MORRISON ON SUNDAY BY LIGHTING CANDLES AT HIS GRAVE IN PARIS.
A bar in Paris that pays tribute to The Doors and late, iconic singer Jim Morrison has been hit with some rather strange legal troubles. You may want to break on through to Lezard King (yep, that's the name of the bar), but the band's management is none too pleased about the place.
Had he not overdosed in Paris in 1971, Jim Morrison would have been 67 years old this December 8.
The legendary star of the Doors called his childhood “an open sore,” and told his band that he was an “orphan.” Later they discovered he had a mother after all. In 1967, she was sitting in a front row seat her son, “The Lizard King,” had reserved for her in the Washington auditorium. During the show’s climactic number, "The End," he sang “Mother, I want to…” then barred his teeth and snarled “FUCK YOU!” He refused to see her again. Nor did he ever again see his father, a Navy admiral. “Father?” he sang, “I want to KILL YOU!”
