Happy birthday, Jim Morrison. He died over forty years ago. I often wonder what he'd be like if he were still around? Probably some dinosaur we wish had retired over thirty years ago (and please stop publishing those small collections of half-baked poetry). We'll never know, but there are some things we do know:

In my high school there were a group of students (mostly the year ahead of me) who insisted that Jim Morrison was still alive, and his death had been faked.
I remember thinking that even if his 1971 death had been faked, he probably would have died of a drug or alcohol overdose a year or two after that. Poor guy.
There was even one student who came up with the theory that Jim Morrison was actually John Doe from X. His argument was based on Manzarek's close ties to X, John Doe's name, and the (alleged) fact that Doe was always blurry in photos.
And don't forget this one! (Or did I get this link from you long ago?)
Blondie vs. the Doors
His best work was as third basemen for the cellar dwelling Pirates of the mid 80s.
He just needed to put the half-baked poetry to music and use his spooky voice and it would be great
Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding. Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind. Fragile. Must be Italian.
Even better is Nirvana meets the Beatles.
