    My eyes saw him (1970 Boston), my ears heard him, my bones shook with the white tribe's Densmore summons to ceremony; and my hand shook Ray Manzarek's years later. Decades since, I still blow out the windows every day with what they left us. The music's never over.

      Your ears still probably hear him. I tune into his shows once in a while. This is a man with a lot of connections in high places, more than likely a Freemason. He talked a lot about faking his death years leading up to his alleged death. If you look into all events surrounding said incident you’ll be shocked. We didn’t find out until years after his death that his father, Stephen M. was the rear admiral on the ship that was responsible for the Gulf of Tonkin false flag operation that in part lead to the Vietnam War. His father was at the decommissioning of the ship, coincidently it happened to be the same day that Him died. All I can say is there are no coincidences in life. Yes both events coincided.

Totally blew us away. I’ll never forget it. Never had the chance to see them live, but I’ve got every album. Watching Robby play just simply mind blowing. Incredible talent!

    showcased Jim as a brilliant artist, but the photography also caught
    his thoughtfulness, emotions, and authenticity. I also consider THIS a
    PIECE OF ART. I believe Jim would really appreciate this documentary.
    Lastly, it was great hearing the Door's music and their comments,
    and everyone else's feedback as well. The whole story took on the
    feeling of a Door's song that Jim might have written. Peace!

    Being myself a Jim fan I think everyone should listen to an amazing interview he made for Canada in 1970. You can find it as an audio file on some streaming platforms. He speaks very calmy and gently of important topics and you can feel all the brightness of his spirit and how smart he was without being pretentious or too sure of himself, you can hear some of the philosophical and cultural references he had. But what is maybe the most important thing for me about this interview is how far it is from the cliché of the "dangerous rock rebel yelling at people and wanting to destroy everything" !
    Anyway, Jim forever !!!!

      Incorrect .
      Jim Morrison had never planned nor tried previously to be a singer .
      He had never tried in any way to be polished
      nor practiced at music.
      His entire life had been as a writer and he had hoped to become involved in film making as a Director .
      He d gone to Film School at UCLA , graduating with his Master's Degree .
      His classmates had been Francis Ford Coppola , Steven Spielberg , Oliver Stone and others.....
      Oliver Stone while on Acid in Viet Nam had believed himself to be Jim Morrison , the Rock Star later on after Jim had died (Murderd)......
      This is a simple fact..
      I can tell you what happens if you ever wish .
      But first , if you TRUELY wish to understand Jim s music and writings then you'll have to understand a thing called ;
      Journey of the Hero .or
      The Hero s Journey .
      This Jim believed he was living .
      On YT , type, Jim Morriso, the Hero s Journey and also
      Weird Scenes inside the Gold Mine
      Watch these lectures by the professor .
      He is spot on and then if you wish , read or audiobook
      Hero of a Thousand Faces by Joseph Campbell .
      These are very important if you're trying to understand what Morrison was trying to do
      The Birth of Tragedy
      By Frederick Nietzsche
      is also important
      Check it out on YT on audio book.
      So much easier in that reading Nietzsche is not an easy assignment.

    The way that Manzarek tells the story of Morrison and himself meeting for the two times on Venice Beach is just such incredible history, a few moments in time giving way to what we have today, the poetic vision set in front of an incredible bed of beautiful music. The way in which Ray instantly outlined for Jim how the future was to unfold. Ray was like a soothsayer, and Jim to become the messenger, the voice. Kismet is a real thing...man. FAR OUT.

      It sounded like the recording was skipping at points. Was that something with this recording, or was it something with my computer? That said, I love the Doors, and grew up listening to them back in 67'',68', and ever since. Over the last couple of months, I have come back around to digging the Doors again. Not that I ever stopped digging them, it just seems like the music I really love from those days comes around, and goes around in cycles. So, here I am again, sitting before the Master poet, like a child being inspired, and finding myself in awe of this person-Band, and musical journey! Everyone as the Doors suggested in their tune-"Break on through to the other side,!!" because this side can be a real drag at times, and all of us need to take a journey inward, or if you prefer, take a journey to Paris!

    James Douglas Morrison....
    Look at the legacy the Doors left us with their music which doesn't let describe it self. Some call it Blues, others call it Rock but no one actually knows.
    I think when they had atleast some knowledge backthen, they probably could have saved the life of Jim Morrison. Back then most people said: oh, it is Jim, he drinks to much! in stead of trying to help him stop his drug and alcohol abuse. With that they might have saved the Doors, and they probably would have been there for a dozen years more.
    The Doors probably bigger then the Rolling Stones, the Beatles and Elvis Presley together. If some came with a change in music, the Doors did.
    It is such a shame Jim Morrison passed away aged 27. Master poet, master artist.

    I'll never forget the moment I first heard about the Doors. I was in 8th grade and getting into the rock music scene. My special ed teacher (I'm deaf) caught on and suggested I try some bands she's listened to for decades. It wasn't "cool" to borrow CDs from teachers, but who cares? She loaned me their Greatest Hits collection with Jim's face on the cover. I still remember seeing that prominent square jaw above his beady necklace. And those curly locks. And Jim's piercing eyes. I got the impression he was a spiritual leader of a hippie rock band. Truth is, Jim was anything but a leader. If you watch his interviews, he was always somewhere else mentally. I didn't fall in love with the Doors right away because I didn't give them a chance. 15 years later, I finally did. Now that I look back, I have to laugh. It's almost like my teacher *knew* I would get into these guys. Jim reminds me of myself. I feel like I exist in an entirely different realm and can only express it with words. Thank you Ms. Nisbet for introducing me to the Doors. You helped me find and understand myself.

    Very well done, includes many unfamiliar photographs and poetry bits. When I visit the Jim Morrison fan groups, I discover over and over again that Jim is perceived as a hero who partied nonstop, and whose goal was to get his kicks today. Not so; he was a serious and accomplished artist. He wrote extraordinary songs, and the quality of his lyrics are unsurpassed. He was a hard working poet, whose work was dismissed as sophomoric self-indulgence for too many years, when in fact it was beautiful and exceptional. A fine tribute..
