Jim Morrison, Ray Manzarek, John Densmore, and Robby Krieger, otherwise known as the Doors. The Doors in my opinion are and always will be the GREATEST band ever. Whether it be getting drunk, doing some kind of drug, singing, writing poetry, or anything else, Jim Morrison, was a legend. He was born on December 8, 1943 in Florida and died July 3, 1971, what he died of we don't know. Some say he is still alive, is he?? There are reasons to believe and reasons not to, if you continue on in the page, I have my reasons of why he is still alive and why he isn't. As for the rest of The Doors, they are still around and well. As you may have known, The Doors box set was released on October 28. I purchased this and reccommend it for any doors fan. I have been a big doors fan for sometime now. I have most of their cd's and have been to a lot of site so i though it was time to make my own. There's not much here but please do visit the links on here, they are some of my favs. IS JIM STILL ALIVE?? It's a question most Doors fans wonder about. Is Jim Morrison still alive? Here are some of my reasons why he is still alive and why he isn't still alive, I have gotten the reasons from several of the books I read and from things people have told me. REASONS WHY JIM IS STILL ALIVE Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, died within a couple of weeks of each other. After their deaths, Jim was going around saying, "You're looking at number three." Before Jim left for Paris, he had called Ray Manzarek for some things and Jim had asked Ray "What would you guys do if I died or something happened to me?" What did Jim die of?? We don't know because there was never an autopsy performed on Jim's body. Had he actually died, they probably would've done an autopsy performed on him cause you couldn't have had told what Jim died of just by looking at him. But for some reason they didn't perform an autopsy. As you may know, Jim read some pretty philophical stuff like poetry and books that most of us probably wouldn't understand and stuff. One of his favorite poets, I forget the name, sorry, was known to have faked his own death, seem ironic to you? Jim Morrison didn't want to be known as a rock singer, he'd rather be known as James Doulgas Morrison, the poet. By faking his own death, Jim could go to some place where no one would know him where he could just write poetry. REASONS THAT JIM HAS GONE ON TO A BETTER PLACE After Jim's death, his "cosmic mate," Pamela Courson, was a wreck. She did drugs and attempted suicde many times. The reasons why she acted like that was because she missed Jim so badly because he was gone, had she known he was somewhere still alive, she probably wouldn't have had done those things. Ray Manzarek once said that if Pam was any kind of factor that Jim is really dead, than Jim is really dead. If anyone knew if Jim was still alive it would've been Pamela, but any secrets she had, she took to her grave with her, 3 years later after Jim. The night before Jim's death, he had been complaining of pains and had woken up coughing up blood. He decided to take a bath, and that was all we ever heard of him again. So as you can see, there are reasons why Jim is alive and why he isn't. People have different opinions, some like myself don't know what to believe. If you want to read more about this, read some books on The Doors. So, is Jim Morrison still alive?? Just remember that "The Future is uncertain the end is always near"--Jim. James Douglas Morrison December 8,1943--July 3, 1971
