JIM MORRISON (THE DOORS): WOULD HAVE BEEN 72 TODAY
...."YOU'RE ALL A BUNCH OF F***ING SLAVES"
.............Sincerely, JIM MORRISON
Jim Morrison, vocalist for THE DOORS passed away 7/3/1971 of a heroin overdose in Paris, France where he is buried to this day. MORRISON's dark poetry, eroticism, eclectic intellect and sadistic indulgences raised the bar for rock, and metal front men and women to this day.
I hear JIM MORRISON had alot of visitors (at his grave) for the 2015 anniversary of his untimely death in Paris.
2002-2013: THE DOORS re-united under the name "THE DOORS OF THE 21st CENTURY", the name change in part due to a legal battle with drummer JOHN DENSMORE. Although invited to the re-union, DENSMORE declined as the other half of THE DOORS performed as "MANZAREK and KRIEGER Of The Doors".
THE DOORS unleashed "LA WOMAN", 4/19/1971 via ELEKTRA RECORDS.

Happy Birthday to a huge musical influence. Although (THE DOORS vocalist) JIM MORRISON died within a little over a year of my birth, I would've given anything to see THE DOORS live and be at that 1969 Miami show.
There's a silver lining to the 1969 Miami show: THE DOORS 1969 Miami, Florida show featured the first ever circle pit (or circle dance) in rock history and the lamb on stage must have been a first for any rock concert, I've never heard of singer being handed the gift of a live lamb since.
JIM MORRISON was posthumously pardoned for his 1969, Miami, Florida charges of "Lewd and Lascivious and Indecent Exposure" behavior (no proof anyway) in 2010.
. THE DOORS are a band that has come back to me in all the misanthropic, anarchistic darkness, from when I was just 13. There's no band that sounds like them, totally unique. Also a gate way for metal and punk and darker themes before those genres existed. The DOORS age well, specifically in the metal scene, great musicians.
Happy Birthday JIM MORRISON and thank you (THE DOORS) for the great music.
FROM THE DOORS:
Happy Birthday, Jim!
