He is acoustic and the most amazing singer in the whole entire universe.
Although there is no "official" record of them playing together, there are several bootlegs which claim to contain recordings of Hendrix and Morrison playing together in New York. If they had played together, they would not have been able to sell any recording because of contractual agreements.
They actually did play together once at a club Greenwich Village in the late 60s. Jim Morrison was drunk though.
Jim Morrison had a breakdown on stage in New Orleans in December 1970.
This was the last live performance by The Doors with Jim Morrison singing.
It was not the last performance by "The Doors" nor was it Morrison's last recording session. See the Wikipedia entry on the history of the Doors for a more complete report of 'the end'....
Iggy Pop was originally considered to be Jim Morrison's replacement after his death in 1971, but instead, Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger shared vocal duties on the Doors' next few albums.
He overdosed on heroin in a hotel room in Paris, France. Pamela Courson found him dead in a tub of bloody water. His nose was bleeding.
It is generally believed that "friends" had carried him from a local club where Morrison had scored too strong of Heroin and ingested it, killing him.
The friends placed him in a tub of cold water, a frequent "rescue attempt" for junkies who had "O.D.d" on heroin. The effort was unsuccessful.
The exact cause of death and circumstances remain a topic of endless discussion.

Jim Morrison, the former lead singer of the rock band The Doors, is buried in the Pere-Lachaise in Paris, France. It is the largest cemetery in Paris, and is visited by thousands of people annually. Many other famous people are buried in the cemetery, including Oscar Wilde, Marcel Proust and Edith Piaf, however it is Morrison's grave that attracts the most attention. Attempts to adorn the grave with official markers or busts have been unsuccessful, as the markers have been either vandalized or stolen. The exact address of the cemetery in Paris is Boulevard de Menilmontant. If visiting the cemetery, a map can be purchased at the cemetery that can direct you to the notable graves.
No, they are rumored to be related, but mostly because of their similar physical appearance and singing voice.
His father was a strict Marine Corps veteran of World War II and the Korean War[6] who worked as a television repairman.
yes, he did in 1968 the charges were disordly conduct and others it happened for the reason of him fooling around with a girl backstage it was rumored that Morrison was handled more agressively then needed and was beaten backstage
There has been debate about that, he is listed on documents as 5' 11" but people who have seen him describe him more as 5' 9.5" but i think the confusion was because he mesured how tall he was in his cowboy boots he always wears that give him 1.5" hegith so it would make sence he is 5' 9.5" in real life but in boots he is 5'11
He was born into a heavily Christian family, but was unsure about his own beliefs. However, he could debate about Christianity and theology.
It could be suggested that Morrison had developed his own brand of spirituality, or shaman religion, in that he frequently thought he was channeling an old indian spirit, and he would frequently describe animals as having spirits watching him. This is a very loose interpretation of both the word "spiritualism" and "religion".
Jim Morrison was with Pamela Courson at the time in Paris. Why he was buried there, I don't know. But I amd guessing it was 1, b/c he died there. 2, b/c he loved Paris, or 3. B/c of the cemetery he was buried in, held many of his inspirations.
No, not really- he liked to sometimes shock the 'straight' world by making controversial or provocative statements about Christianity or other mainstream religions, but in reality he was more of a mystic. Jim was a very intelligent man, and took a great interest in the esoterics of life and the inherent spirituality that was ingrained in all of humanity, that cut across religious and political divides. He took issue with attitudes and views put forward by the Christian church that he felt were restricting people's spiritual understanding, or were backward-looking or prejudiced against a real intellectual realisation of 'right and wrong'. But his deep mysticism and attempts to rise above the bigotry of aspects of the Christian church should never be mistaken for him being satanic- he was way too profound and intelligent a fellow to align himself with any particular creed.
if the eyewitness's account stating that Morrison was reportedly at a alcoholic's anonymous meeting in Albuquerque is fact then Jim is an English instructor at the university using the alias Charles Leonard.
note: Charles Leonard Inc. is the nation's top supplier of scholastic material.
Coincidentally!
if the next higher letter is added to the abbreviated for for Charles Leonard Inc. "CLI" the result is C=Douglas, L=Morrison, I=James

There have been plenty of rumors about Jim Morrison taking LSD when The Doors did their infamous Hollywood Bowl concert in 1968. However, the other members of the band have said they don't know if is true or not.

Jim Morrison's two nicknames were: Mr. Mojo Risin, an anagram for Jim Morrison and the Lizard King, as he was dubbed by friends and fans.
He was called that only by the fans... I met John Densmore (The drummer of The Doors) and read his book, they (The band) always refereed to Jim as Jimbo, or just Jim. They called him Mr Mojo Risin for the anagram part, but only during the recording of LA Woman.
