NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Here’s news that will light the fire of Jim Morrison fans: A filmmaker claims The Doors’ frontman is alive and raising horses on a ranch in southern Oregon.

Rodeo photographer Gerald Pitts insists Morrison didn’t die in July of 1971 and he has current photographs and film footage of the rocker to prove it.

Pitts, who met Morrison in 1998, says the rocker staged his death because of a French conspiracy to kill him, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix with narcotics because they were all Vietnam war protestors.

These days, Morrison isn’t the drug user he once was, although Pitts says when he goes over to Jim’s house he’ll “maybe have an occasional beer.”

Now Pitts claims that Morrison is announcing he’s alive, in part, to promote his recent agreement to star in a rodeo shoot-out movie based on events that actually happened to Pitts.

Pitts’ whole story airs on A Current Affair tomorrow (May 20).

I wonder if Elvis and JFK live in the same neighborhood.

[Numbers Guy]

Jim Morrison was a third baseman for the Pirates in the mid-80's.

pong

[BurbankKarl]

He called in to Art Bell a couple months ago.

I've seen this guy's photos of the supposed Jim Morrison, and they look nothing like him at all...

HOW ABOUT A DOORS REUNION TOUR IN 06!!!!!

[tet68]

It's that new subdivision down the road,
Bildaburger Mews.

[spanalot]

The story has to be BS

[Mr. Jeeves]

He probably found some guy named Jim Morrison. ;)

I saw that movie. It was a Larry Buchanan bio-pic. In it, Morrison did fake his death but he died later in a monestary:

(Beyond the Doors, aka Down On Us)

[Bird Jenkins]

This is hilarious. Cowboy is an odd choice for Morrison. I wonder if his Indian soul got upset.

Aw drummer John Densmore would still sit it out as too commercial.

[Grut]

So they investigate this guy and it turns out he's not Jim Morrison, he's D. B. Cooper....

[weegee]

He can afford any lawsuit. He's mentioned in the Howard Hughes will.

[PISANO]

The Doors’ frontman is alive and raising horses on a ranch in southern Oregon.

Too bad!

[Lurking in Kansas]

Old news, Jim Morrison use to live in my apartment building in the 1980s.

*yawn*

[shaggy eel]

although Pitts says when he goes over to Jim’s house he’ll “maybe have an occasional beer.”

,,, keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel.

[weegee]

You mean Jim Varney ISN'T DEAD?

[dead]

I don't care if he's alive, just please don't let him sing again.

[537cant be wrong]

when the musics overrrrrr yeahhhha.

turn out the lights.

[perfect stranger]

the rocker staged his death because of a French conspiracy to kill him, Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix with narcotics because they were all Vietnam war protestors.

This is truly laughable.

Was there even any French troops in Vietman then, and if so which side were they on?

Wasn't Hendrix in the US military at some point in time?

Wasn't John Kerry meeting the commie Koreans in France just around the same time for peace talks?

Why didn't they try to kill John Kerry too? Obviously he had a much larger voice against the war than these drug-addled hippies riding a trend.

[weegee]

Is Dan Rather his agent?

[cajungirl]

Judge Crater might be there too!

[jwalsh07]

Jim is living happily ever after with Andy Kaufman. They are both employed by the local taxi company.

[ZinGirl]

this is nonsense....he's gone...BUT..he appeared on a piece of toast this morning. I'm going to put it on ebay.

(come on, baby....light my toaster)

[weegee]

The way it was pitched in Down On Us (aka Beyond the Doors), it was CIA who tried to kill them all. As the "Pied Pipers of Rock".

Imagine if it was shot on the budget it took to forge the National Guard memos.

[weegee]

Andy Kauffman is not dead. Who do you think was behind all those Elvis sightings?

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

Totally agree. The Doors are vastly overrated.

[sittnick]

You mean ... all that stuff written on the desks and bathroom stall walls in my junior high and high school was actually true??!!

[Extremely Extreme Extremist]

LOLOLOL!!!

[weegee]

personal PING, you wouldn't want to miss this rock and roll thread.

[F.J. Mitchell]

If he is alive, Oregon is definately his kind of place.

[ZinGirl]

why, thank you...thank you very much. (oops...that was ELVIS, not the extremely extreme Morrison)

;)

[F14 Pilot]

I think he is now lying in a cemetry in Paris!

Is he still dopping?

[weegee]

He only composed music for a few years with the Doors. He's been decomposing ever since.

When all else fails
We can whip the horse's eyes
And make them sleep
And cry -- The Soft Parade

Maybe so, but I'm Spartacus.

Old news, Jim Morrison use to live in my apartment building in the 1980s.

Wow. He must have hit a rough patch. I met him in Baton Rouge, in the summer of 1978, and he had a pretty nice house downtown.

[AnAmericanMother]

"He's dead, Jim."

[Xenalyte]

Y'know, Kaufman was such the nut, when his buddy told the world he might not be dead last year I had a few moments of "Well, he just might . . ."

[zbigreddogz]

I actually think there is a .1% chance this is true. A 99.9% chance of being false, but not completely impossible.

Has anybody read 'No One Gets Out Alive'? It's a Morrison Biography written back in the 70's I believe, and the circumstances surrounding his death were reeeeeaaaallllllyyyy weird, and I think only one person actually said they saw his body, and that was his girlfriend.

Not saying I believe it, I don't, at all, but if I he was on the evening news, in a few weeks, I would be stunned, but not like, say, having Elvis show up.

[Xenalyte]

Yeah, but they DO look a lot like Val Kilmer.


Jim Morrison (God, but he was gorgeous)


Val as Jim (not bad, not bad at all)

[ErnBatavia]

Elvis, when not performing for the locals, works in the kitchen at The Lantern in Cumming, Georgia.

I know this, because I done seed him through the waitress' lookie-hole.

[weegee]

They are posting pictures of Saddam in his tighty whities on the other thread right now...

[Focault's Pendulum]

Maybe so, but I'm Spartacus.

No! I am Spartacus!!

Do it one more time....and I'm suing for identity theft.

I got Mark Geragos as my attorney......

......nevermind....you're Spartacus.

PAPER SPLASHES SADDAM UNDERWEAR

[mplsconservative]

Now we know this story simply cannot be true.

The Frenchies love cheese eating, surrender monkey anti-war protestors.

Why would they ever want to kill Janis, Jimi and Jim?

[mysterio]

I love the Doors.

[weegee]

Serge Gainsbourg demanded it?
