Is Jim Morrison Alive?
Most people think the musician Jim Morrison, lead singer for the Doors, died in Paris on July 3, 1971. But Gerald Pitts says that he "discovered Jim Morrison Living on a Ranch in the Pacific Northwest in the summer of 1998." According to him, Morrison is living a quiet life as an American cowboy "away from the Hollywood scene." Even though Morrison evidently engineered an elaborate death hoax to escape publicity, he agreed to appear on film for Pitts. You can buy a copy of this film for only $24.95 (shipping is extra). Pitts' site includes a video comparing the features of Jim Morrison the fifty-something cowboy to Jim Morrison the twenty-something singer. However, no matter how many times I watch the video, I just don't see any similarity.

Also, to You Know Who that says this will all go main stream media, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt. Is there going to be DNA evedience coming out that this is Morrison? Let us in on how you know unequivicably that this is Jim Morrison. I would love for this to be true. It's doubtful but wouldn't it be cool? Well, other than if it was confirmed, the guy would NEVER be left alone again.

you know, im going with the DNA situation. When they have tested THIS man at the top of THIS page, and the results prove that he is in fact James Douglas Morrison, then you might make a beleiver out of me. Further more, i beleive that the more this subject is argued, the more people are going to be tempted to by the video, not because they believe that this man is in fact Jim morrison, but because they want to argue it, so either way the more we continue to discuss this subject, wether or not we beleive or not, we are still supporting this lame ass hoax, by allowing this man to profit from the video. Either way people are still going to buy it, for the simple fact that we want to argue that it isnt jim morrison. I hope that Jim is happy wherever he is and that he has found the inner peace in the next world that he couldnt find in this one. R.I.P Jim.

First, no one profits from selling a VHS video theese days. People just do not use VHS players. We had a downloadable version from the internet, but that was expensive and Rodeoswest, Inc. did not profit on that venture. Second, as I have said, DNA testing is not necessarily the panacea as those results can be fudged, especially when hundreds of millions of dollars are at stake. Thirdly, be careful when dealing with Allan Graham. He's not really in it for Jim. He's not even a bloody American.

Hmmmm.... arguing reasons to not to do DNA which would be a simple situation to solve whether this is really Jim Morrison or not does not bode well with the believability factor. A matter of fact, it makes it seem more like a scam. Not all people that scam are in it for cash. There are a lot of desperate people that just want to draw attention to themselves. Like I stated before, DNA.

You are correct to argue about DNA shows they are hiding the truth. Time will come soon for the liars to pay out of there pockets for there lies.
If Jim were really alive Geraldo Rivera would be there by now 🐛

Met up with him while riding out west. I was riding up the east end of a small mountain trail - he was coming from the west. Sort of bumped into him at the crest.. As soon as I looked at him, I knew it was him - and I introduced myself as "Ben" - he introduced himself as "Jim". We were only a few miles from his ranch and we went over there for a bit. He had a few people there but they weren't much into conversation. I think they dropped a bunch of acid before we arrived. Anyway, this was several years ago... He knows that some people believe him to be alive, while others KNOW him to be alive. He and the surviving doors have made millions off of his "death" and that's all fine with them. Fact is they would have broken up anyway. Lots of infighting... Not too much talk about the doors when I visit though. Lots of conversation about native american indians - and how they are way more in tune with "the spirits" than any of the decendants from Europe / Asia / Africa etc... Always plenty of whiskey and pot going around. A few poetry lines here and there but not much.

I'm from Southern Oregon. It's a great place to get away and hide first off.
If it's true and he is alive in Southern Oregon I can't wait to meet him! 😊 The guy accross the street from my father showed him a picture of him and Jim just the other day. Says he knows him. And knows him well.
People have successfully faked there own death and started over. I know someone who has done it for other reasons. He may not be a star, but people would really like to find him I'm sure.
I like to entertain the idea JM is still with us. It's pretty far fetched though.
But come on people...How effin cool would that be if he came back out? Hmmmm???

Hey people...Let Jim rest in peace. He deserved it. I mean he wrote the best songs in the world. Okay, he drank too much,he was getting drugs..too much but he's a legend.Let it stay that way.Let's remember Jim from his best days...Bye..And I think he was too intelligent for this world and that was the main reason for his death. He wasn't murdered and it wasn't heart-attack.It was over-doze.

Floyd Christopher Bangs is Jim's son. He is the one from the dna test. Cliff Morrison is not Jim Morrison's son, he only claimed to be, then refused a dna test.

Sorry haven't posted in a while. Gerald Pitts is working hard on a new video with more footage of Jim Morrison and life in Oregon. Ben from Montana's comments really line up with what I heard from talking to Gerald and David Logan (the son of a legendary rodeo personality and Jim's friend in Oregon). It's really hard to drive up to where Jim is. The roads are narrow and steep so cars either overheat or end up on the side of the road. My American Prayer is this: THAT ALL JIM MORRISON FANS PUT PRESSURE ON RAY MANZAREK TO GIVE US AN ANSWER AS TO WHO THIS GUY IN OREGON REALLY IS.
Posted by JLizard on Mon Oct 08, 2007 at 11:13 PM
im like in love with jim morrisons voice, lyrics, and peotry,(and looks) lol!buts its kinda hard to beleive that he is alive, because they also said that elvis was alive too pretty soon they are going to start saying that kurt kobain is still alive, or lane staley, + it would suck knowing that so many people loved him and would die to just meet him, and he fakes his death idk it just doent make very much sence to me was it becuse he didnt want to be in the spotlight all the time or wat? i just dont think he is alive
Posted by alexis on Tue Oct 09, 2007 at 12:01 AM
JLizard, it doesn't matter what Ray Manzarek says. Is he a DNA expert? You get DNA results PROVING beyond a shadow of a doubt that Jim Morrison is alive, I'd then pay $1000 for the video. Until then, I wouldn't pay a dime! Trying to create hype with no proof is crap! You're marketing sucks! If you're going to try and make money with this b.s. why not hire a marketing consultant to make it believable? See, you've blown it. Most people think your story is full of it. They will never be convinced except for one way and one way alone: DNA, end of story!

jim morrison would have been 75 years old in 1998, even if he wouldn't have died in 71 he probably would have been dead by the time he was 50 anyways man plus it doesnt even look like the almighty Jim Morrison, or a 75 year old man whoever put this on the internet is a dumb a**

The fireman who pronounced Jim Morrison dead remembers the rock legend
ISABEL VINCENT | August 13, 2007 |
Before the morning of July 3, 1971, Alain Raisson, a French fireman, had never heard of the American singer and poet Jim Morrison. As Raisson describes it today, his encounter with the man that he found unconscious in a bathtub full of lukewarm water was "short, intense and very real." Raisson and his team of five firemen tried to revive him, but failed, and within minutes of arriving at the light-filled apartment on 17 rue Beautreillis in the Marais district of Paris, it was Raisson who pronounced "Mr. James Morrison" dead.
"I didn't know he was famous," said Raisson, who is retired in Rio de Janeiro and lives in an elegant, antique-filled apartment a few blocks from the beach. "Nobody knew he was famous until about a month later, when the media started to call." They haven't stopped calling, even today, 36 years after the death of Morrison, the lead singer and main lyricist of the Doors, who achieved a wild cult status after his death in Paris.

But what Raisson tells the interviewers over and over again does not square with the image that many have of the handsome Bohemian singer with wavy shoulder-length hair, who moved to Paris with his common-law wife Pamela Courson at the height of his fame in March 1971, in order to focus on his poetry. Morrison, who died at 27, had a long history of drug and alcohol abuse. "When I got there I saw a fat man in a bathtub full of water," says Raisson. "The water was still warm, and we carried him onto the bed in the bedroom to do the cardiac massage."
The cause of death appeared to be heart failure, and because there were no bruises or any other marks of violence on the body (Raisson insists he saw nothing that would arouse suspicion), the police who arrived shortly after Raisson's team decided not to proceed with an autopsy -- a decision that many of Morrison's fans still question today. "If anyone in the police had known he was famous, I am sure they would have done an autopsy," says Raisson, who will not speculate on what caused Morrison's apparent heart attack. Before her own death in 1974, Courson told reporters that the cocaine-addicted Morrison possibly snorted heroin by mistake. "That is not a matter for me to discuss," sniffs Raisson with a French civil servant's air of professionalism.
All he knows is that Courson made the emergency call at 9:20 on that fateful Saturday morning. Raisson and his team arrived four minutes later, and found her distraught, still in her nightgown. She told them that Morrison had awoken at 6 a.m. and told her that he was not feeling well, and would take a bath. When he wasn't in bed nearly 3 1/2 hours later, Courson went to investigate and called the emergency number. "That was the encounter, very intense and very brief," repeats Raisson, rising from his chair.
But, one last question, what does Raisson think of Morrison's hit songs? Has he listened to a Doors CD lately? Raisson avoids the question. "I prefer classical music," he says.
