Oh man, I would hope that if I died, my dad would say something better than "that's unfortunate"!!

Under the circumstances described above, I think he was being very kind.

Anyone seen Almost Famous? Wasn't Fong-Torres a 'character' in that?

Yeah..... sure, I'm not going to acknowledge my family.... cause he was ashamed of them is why. He was an icon of the populist hippies...and to have a flag officer as a dad...gee, he's lose his "street credibility". He was just a spoiled upper middle class blow-hard drunk that likes to say things on stage, make a little cash, and get laid.
.....just like every other guy in a rock band...hahahahahaha

Andy Morrison recalls that his mother, Clara, who died last year, took him to a Doors concert in Washington, D.C., and asked to see Jim, but he refused to meet with her, and she drove home in tears.
The Morrisons surmise that Jim's hostility was really designed to shield them from too much attention. I guess that's one way of looking at it...

Morrison was a sick and depraved drug addict. His father is being kind.

Maybe he was trying to protect us. Is there something in the water that keeps people from telling the truth these days???
To: SIDENET
The family can believe whatever they want. Truth is, Jim Morrison was an addict of drugs, alcohol, and anything else he could use to get high. Real shame too, 'cause he was so gifted.

George Morrison said it was "quite an honor ... for the family" to have his son buried near cultural giants like Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf and Frederic Chopin. I've been to that cemetery and it's disgraceful what the "tourists" have done to the grave there. It's not hard at all to find Morrison's grave.......just follow the graffiti. I heard a year or so ago that the descendants of people buried there were trying to get Morrison's grave moved out because they were so disgusted with the defacing of their loved ones' grave stones.

Hey Slim! Been doing the low profile routine lately. Not much to say I guess.
How's NM these days?
To: EggsAckley
Well the plots there are not sold, they are rented. His lease was up. Some figured it would present the first opportunity for a Stateside funeral.
His parents didn't get to attend the first one. Morrison was buried before word got out.
