Level -> Did Jim Morrison really die in his bathtub? (7/11/2007 3:50:32 PM)
PARIS - The official story goes like this: On the last night of Jim Morrison’s life, the rocker went to a movie in Paris, listened to records, fell ill and died of heart failure in his bathtub at the age of 27. But rumors have always swirled around the death of The Doors frontman and, 36 years later, a former Paris nightclub manager is telling a different story. In a new book, Sam Bernett says that Morrison died in a toilet stall of his club after what he believes was a heroin overdose. He writes of his shock on finding Morrison’s body: “The flamboyant singer of ‘The Doors,’ the beautiful California boy, had become an inert lump crumpled in the toilet of a nightclub.” http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/19714635

"The killer awoke before dawn. He put his boots on. He took a face from the ancient gallery and he, he walked on down the hall. And he came to a door. He opened the door. Father? Yes son? Ive come to kill you...." The End, one of my favorite Doors songs. Sinergy

His portrayal was eerily accurate, according to people who knew him when he was alive. Val was asked about the role, and he pointed out he hates the Door's music. Additionally, he had nothing but scorn and disgust for Jim Morrison. Said that Jim was a man who would take any drug, do any sexual act, do almost anything, was completely enthralled by his impulses, and completely without any sort of moral sense. To me, that is the sign of a great actor. Somebody who can mezmerisingly play a character completely antithetical to their own personal mores and values. Sinergy

Some people were just too dangerous to make it out of the Nixon Era alive.

Sinergy i seen a docu on him. it claims he flirted with satanism too. it was on SHOWTIME. the death- was a hitchhiker in Nevada. A drifter. he also brushed an indian in his childhood. experts- say- if you get in the car- you are as good as dead. [if kidnaped] do ANYTHING to not get in

Sinergy *He did an incredible job in that movie, and I'll always give him a tip of the hat for it, even if he never did another role. Hell, he was terrific in Tombstone, as well.*

I know this will be unpopular, but Jim Morrison was at best a two-bit poet, and a passable frontman to an otherwise superb band.

quote: ORIGINAL: Level *Hell, he was terrific in Tombstone, as well.* I disagree. In Tombstone he played the dichotomoy of an overweight, out of shape, well taken care of man dying of a wasting disease, consumption (tuberculosis). Compare it to Dennis Quaid in the same role. He went on an almost starvation diet and dropped weight to something idiotic for a 6'ish tall man to around 110 pounds. You look at him playing that role and think "Dont turn on the fan, you will blow Quaid away." Sinergy

Very interesting article. Level. Sinergy, I was stunned to find out that Val did all the actual singing in that movie. I thought he had just done a really great job at lip syncing to Morrison's recordings. Favorite Door's song has to be "LA Woman" followed by "Love Her Madly". Long before I ever even thought of moving out here to Cali that first song was always played as soon as I walked into the night club I went to dance at in the Midwest.

playfulotter -> RE: Did Jim Morrison really die in his bathtub? (7/11/2007 4:43:49 PM)
i have heard the lines from this section of the song "LA women" I see your hair is burnin' Hills are filled with fire If they say I never loved you You know they are a liar Drivin' down your freeways Midnite alleys roam Cops in cars, the topless bars Never saw a woman... So alone, so alone So alone, so alone referred to the Bel-Air-Brentwood fires in 1961 when i was 2 years old and lived in Orange county at the time..where over 450 residences where burned to the ground...

Although you have to love "I'll be your huckleberry"
