Stuff builds up in there. (If you've heard the Frank Zappa song, Stinkfoot, you know what I mean.)

she still performs, but in Austria, of all places, where she also lives. I mean, as I read it a couple years ago.

Last week, one of her good friends said I reminded her of MF.

I was not sure how to take that.....

It was Mick and Keef. They threw Jim in the tub just like they threw Brian into the pool.

So Sad.

What more would have Jim Morrison brought about were if not for.........
Could be he understood better than we know.

Unfortunately for generations forced to listen to conspiracy theories spun by Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek (RIP), what killed Morrison remains controversial. Doctors cited heart failure aggravated by heavy drinking — Morrison could reportedly polish off 36 beers in a day. However, because no foul play was suspected, French authorities skipped an autopsy.

Now, in an interview with England’s Mojo magazine, singer Marianne Faithfull says she knows who killed Morrison: her then-boyfriend, a heroin dealer named Jean de Breiteuil who inadvertently sent the singer on a final ride with Mr. Brownstone. Faithfull says when de Breiteuil went to visit Morrison for what would be the final time, she skipped the trip.

“I could intuitively feel trouble,” Faithfull told Mojo. “I thought, I’ll take a few Tuinal and I won’t be there. And he went to see Jim Morrison and killed him. I mean I’m sure it was an accident. Poor bastard. The smack was too strong? Yeah. And he died. And I didn’t know anything about this.”

Even if it's now owned by Gannett, it's still a damn good newspaper.

Fred Heroin.

He had help from his buddy Chronic Alcoholism.

He died when he did because he had to in order to be a legend.

all about the same age and the same years.

and playing some sort of Jimi-style jazz. Can't imagine Janis and Jim though.

Just as Philip Seymour Hoffman killed Philip Seymour Hoffman and Janis Joplin killed Janis Joplin.

You put poison in your veins you have to take the responsibility.

That drug dealer didn't sneak up behind Morrison with a needle and stick it in his neck. Morrison, Hoffman, and Joplin sought out those dealers in order to get high. They took a big gamble and lost all their chips.

A potpourri of musical DNA. Like Lulu meets Sandy Denny meets Patti Smith.

very much in the English folk revival tradition from back then.

Marianne Faithfull’s new album, Give My Love to London, is released on 29 September. It features music written by Nick Cave, Roger Waters and Anna Calvi, among others. - http://www.theguardian.com/culture/2014/aug/06/marianne-faithfull-boyfriend-killed-jim-morrison

Yet, I can't recall her at all.
I don't remember anyone asking her about Jim's death, or how it all happened way back when.
In fact, if I remember right, no one knew how he died, and that was just within days after the news came out that he had been found dead.
When the report from the police said they found him in a bathtub, some people said he had drowned after he had passed out from drinking too much that night.
Some other people said that he had died from an enlarged heart, that was caused because he had suffered a heart attack while bathing.

So, this latest gossip doesn't really help much.
The important part of that whole incident was, that Jim had died . . . at an age that was far too young, and that he had died suddenly, with no warning, in his prime.

Maybe it's just me, but I was really stunned when I read the headline in the next day's newspaper reporting that he had died.
The Doors were my favorite group back then, so it doesn't matter to me if what she says is true or not.

The fact is, it was the end of The Doors.
And that was all that really mattered.
