A community portal about Jim Morrison with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: James "Jim" Douglas Morrison was an American singer, songwriter, writer and poet. Born in Melbourne, Florida, he was the lead singer and lyricist of the popular American rock band The Doors, and is considered to be one of the most charismatic frontmen in the history of rock music. He was also an author of several poetry books, a documentary, short film and two early music videos. Morrison's death at the age of 27 in Paris stunned his fans; the circumstances of his death and secret burial have been the subject of endless rumours and play a significant part in the mystique that continues to surround him.

Jim Morrison may be haunting his old digs at the Alta Cienega Motel in West Hollywood. Yesterday, after I shot some footage of the Motel from across the street, I zoomed in for an up-close image of the name of the cozy little establishment. After my lens settled on the end position, I was about to fade to black. Suddenly, something very eerie occurred. An orange & yellow light sprang to life and not only illuminated the face of the Motel - but also - cast a warm glow in the center of my video! Watch the video quite closely and see for yourselves. ... Read Full Story

“Then I saw things as they really are, that I am, to a degree, just a puppet controlled by forces I understand only vaguely.” ~ Jim Morrison He became a rock star, a megastar actually, a burning asteroid leaving a luminous trail of disintegration from horizon to horizon. He died, but traces live on. Many called him heroic, but in the end he died pathetic… a tragic symbol of drugs, sex and rock ‘n roll gone wrong. This is a brief review of two books: Stephen Davis’ Jim Morrison / Life, Death, Legend , and Morrison’s own posthumously collected poems called Wilderness, Volume 1 ... Read Full Story

The ceremony is about to begin I love no other poet/musician more than Jim Morrison. He was smart and seemed to have a big heart. If you watched The Doors, don't go on thinking that that was how Morrison really was because he wasn't just drunk all the time. He didn't think of his great words while taking shots of whiskey I think Jim was fearless and just had magic in his eyes. He wanted knowledge and wanted to inform and entertain Unfortunately for me, I wasn't even thought about being conceived when Morrison was singing his songs :( I wish that I could ... Read Full Story

A new book claims the infamous photograph which appears to show The Doors' Jim Morrison's ghost is "simply unexplainable." I'm not sure why it isn't inexplicable , but why mince... words? Any who, rock historian, Brett Mesiner, stopped by Morrison's Paris grave in 1997. His assistant took a photograph of the author and it was promptly forgotten. Five years later, they noticed something peculiar about the photo which set the Web on fire: You can clearly see what appears to be the dead Doors' singer and songwriter behind Mesiner, arms outstretched in a Christ-like position! There were many other visitors that day and no ... Read Full Story

Words Without Borders covers the the Madmen, Exiles, and Savage Detectives: Latin American Poetry panel: I was late to the Madmen, Exiles, and Savage Detectives: Latin American Poetry panel at the Philoctetes Center this Tuesday. I was late because I was puttering around the fourth floor poetry section at the Barnes and Noble in Union Square here in New York City.

This isn't news. John Lennon died today, 29 years ago. Jim Morrison was born today, 66(!) years ago. So December 8 has acquired a weirdly gloomy rock 'n' holiday significance, and East End is celebrating with a dual-covers night. A series of local bands will perform tunes by Lennon and Morrison, which sounds fine, while local celebrities read Jim Morrison's poetry, which doesn't. It's five bucks at the door, but if you dress up like either...
