Is Jim Morrison Alive?

image 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.

Comments

It was 3rd july 1971, not 5th. The best occasion for an american to fake his death. Why? Because it was sunday, and on the next day the american offices were closed because of the Independence Day. During this time the burial was done. No one could identify the corpse. And maybe there was no corpse. I don't know. He was very clever, with an I.Q. over 140. The government of the US disliked his anti-war mind, and his revolt. Ray Manzarek said that Jim was scared. He wanted to disappear. He talked about it to his bandmates.

Gerald Pitts is Jim Morrison's agent and producer. He is a successful businessman who is well respected in his community in Oregon. He happend to run into Jim Morrison who was in hiding, having faked his death. Jim Morrison said that he would fake his death and only 4 people showed up to the "funeral". The photomorph at http://www.rodeoswest.com shows among other things that Jim's eyes align exactly to those taken of him 30 some years ago.
Jim's estate is worth many millions and many people profit immensely from it every year. The Doors of the 21st Century recently scheduled a concert an hour away from where Jim is living in RURAL Oregon so that Jim would come out and talk to them. Jim did not. Ray did not show up to the concert. The concert was cancelled. Strange Days.

It's possible! Why wouldn't his parents bring him back to the states? To exhume the body and not be in there? Why did Pamela die 3 years later? To be with Jim and fall off the face of the earth also. And how come Jim and Pamela's parents sue the remaining Door's, not including Densmore, for royalties. So they can have an income coming in. Hmmmmmm

He might be living... he might be dead... But it's clear he doesn't want to be LIVE on a stage.
The things he might have seen and feel... like Syd Barrett who also decided to dissapear from the public, and many other artist. These are the real artists and we have to respect them cause we'll always learn something. Spirits live forever and as long as your memories remember something, it will never die.

I do not believe this cowboy crap. But I do not believe the Paris Death story either. There just is not enough conclusive evidence to convince me that he died on July 3,1971. Especially given the fact that he went around telling people he was going to fake his death. He probably is not still around today though. I think his most recent book was released in 1986, so where has he been since?
Posted by Randy California  on  Fri May 26, 2006  at  09:20 PM
I don't believe that man is James Douglas Morrison, I think that is a lie, Gerald Pitts only wants money.

But... If you really are Jim Morrison, I'm waiting for you in Portugal.

I doubt that you can prove it..

You realize that an anagram of 'James Douglas Morrison' is 'Mad major gloriousness'. I think that's significant.

1st. I can't believe people wrote paragraphs on the subject!
2nd. He's dead for crying out load get over it people!!
Please don't have a nervous break down...because Of what I said....yeah I'm sorry psycho's he's dead...dead as a door nail..Dead like people that die dead and are now buried in a cemetery...yes I believe that qualifies him as dead...yes I thinks so..OK well I guess he's dead ah so now you know he's dead OK bye...yeah He's dead.

What's the deal with the email from Lizzy in October, 2005 about Pamela Susan Shhops website and that her dad (married to Pamela? ) had taken her three kids. I looked up her website and didn't see anything about Jim Morrison. What's the deal? Did they have an affair? I don't get it.

On the topic of Jim Morrison, I've looked at the Pitt's photos and his short video clip of the individual claiming to be the real Jim Morrison. There is no way that this guy is the real Jim Morrison. Morrison was a pretty boy. This guy's features are down right homely. Granted, if Jim were alive, he would certainly not look exactly as he had in 1971. However, he would still retain his basic features. Also, there is no way that Jim Morrison would have let his girlfriend Pam Courson die as she did in 1974.
Posted by James Douglas Morrison  on  Mon Jul 10, 2006  at  03:21 AM
Once again on the topic that Jim Morrison might be alive and well in the state of Oregon. Since I have the summer off, I will volunteer to go to Oregon to check this dude out. I will talk to him face to face and totally interrogate him. I will ask him numerous questions that only the REAL Jim Morrison could answer. If he slips up only once, I pledge to beat his ass severely. If he is an imposter, he will pay dearly. Also, he will have to pay for the gas that I bought just to drive all the way to Oregon. Peace out!

dude your gay jim morrsin was still writing songs when he faked his death and he is alive he announced it on mtv so im getting sick of these bull shit comments hes alie deal with it even iff you dont wanna bealive it
Posted by jaKE  on  Mon Jul 10, 2006  at  05:31 PM
Ok, let's all get something straight...Jim Morrison was a wonderfully fascinating man who made music we all loved and still love. Everytime a famous musician dies, there seems to be this unwillingness to let them go and this is the craziest example of all. Jim was highly addicted to alcohol and many damaging drugs and lived a life of excess. I doubt very much that even if he were alive he would be at all in good health. I would imagine his liver and kidneys were practically useless before he died let alone to allow him to live another 30 some odd years. I sit on the fence about whether he actually died on that fateful night in Paris or not but in all truthfulness, we will never know...if he staged something it was permanent, he would not want to be found but if he were planning a comeback, what would he do now, squeeze into his old leathers and take us all back to the 60's? Let's get real...let's let it go. Let's all remember Jim for the man we all knew back then, the Lizard King. We'll see him again...in The End.

Maby he fakes it's death, maby he's still alive, i don't know we don't know, and maby we wil never know.

But if he's death he's death and lying in Paris.
When he's is alive then just leave the pore guy alone he disurves his rest and peace...

Morrison my muse.
Posted by Thunderhawk  on  Mon Aug 21, 2006  at  06:22 AM
morrison- pam calls up label- "morrison is dead" fly out imidiatly. when they man appears he sees a coffin sealed tight, which contains "jim morrison" and a certificate of death by a doctor who was never found.
jim on many occasions had the idea to fake his own death and call the authorities saying "mr. mojo risin"
no doubt jim could have abused his own body so much to have a heart attack at 27 but the facts are - he wanted to escape from fame
- be a quiet poet out of stardom
- no one saw his body other then Pam
- the doctor was never found after signing the certifacate
now whether or not this man is the real jim morrison which i can't fully doubt
in high probablity morrison is probably alive
a true makevellie
Posted by reif  on  Wed Aug 23, 2006  at  12:52 PM
relax, ladies & gentlemen, he is where he is. if he wants to find you he will. if he doesnt he wont. you've seen the evidence a million times, make your own judgement. i believe he was an amazing poet, an amazing character and the amazing representation of all that was, all there could be and all the opinions of synical people will never dull or tarnish the illusions that the true Jim Morrison left on the people he encountered. if he is dead, celebrate the life of a prsonality and a poet. if he is alive let him be, he is his own and nothing can change it.

I always found it strange that an autopsy was never done on Jim.But,let him rest in peace,he simply lived life at a thousand miles an hour,drugs,booze,poor diet,he basically killed himself.As an Aussie,i have admired him since 1967,when i saw him on TV.Good on him for not changing the words to Light my fire,on the Sullivan show,he had more guts than the Stones did,and i love the Stones too(shame on them for changing the words,just for old Sullivan).Jim was the ultimate rock star,he probably never wanted to get old,and i still love his songs,and the Doors in general.Don't do an Elvis on him,let him go,thanks for the memories Jimmy!!!

yeah um this is bull shit jim is dead and it sucks cus he was like one of the greatest people who ever lived and jim was way too cool to come back for a profit.this is like saying elvis is alive or saying kurt cobain or janis is still alive. this is something that the national enquirer would write about

I live in Chicago and recently got a call from a man in Oregon who said that the RIDERS ON THE STORM, aka the Doors of the 21st Century after litigation, again scheduled to perform in Medford, OR within this last month, and again they cancelled (when JDM didn't come out?). I went to the Riders On the Storm website but it was mysteriously closed for construction. Now on March 6, 2006 they did schedule a concert in rural OR and this concert was cancelled and this I confirmed on Manzarek's website. Yes, many believe that Chris Bangs is JDM's son as well. But what about the story of Cliff Morrison, who's cd NO PEAKING still sells on the DOORS website, who performed with Waylon Krieger and who undeniably Jim's son.

you have to feel for the people who knew Jim Morrison personally. it cant be easy when things like this crop up. no matter what though its a very interesting and intriguing story. however whats the betting that if ever this takes off with the media showing an interest in this (although it seems to have been about for a while now) that the person whoever it maybe in these pictures sadly "died" a few months before anyone has a chance of contacting him. i sense maybe there is something afoot with regards of making a movie or a documentary about all of this.

I met Jim's friend Herve Muller in Amsterdam in 1973. Herve was one of the last people to see Morrison alive. He knew what happened.

Morrison is as dead as Elvis. Accept it.

certain musicbiz celebs think not only jims alive but pam too, who is apparently unaged but looking a little different,and in italy,france and u.k shes been followed and questioned,they said she is evasive of any questions relating to jim and denies she is pamela and then looks at you in a very calm way as if mojo himself has told her exactly what to say if asked, its said she knows several rock stars including astbury ,people actually follow her she frequents america we know that and is quite unique,one things for sure if jim is still alive he knows her,thats a sure bet.

Can any dead singers rest in peace?
They say Elvis is still alive, Tupac is still alive, Marilyn Monroe is still alive and now Jim Morrison?
Unless I can see concrete proof on any of the above I say it's all hogwash, and some stunt for this man to make money.
Why doesn't this man claiming to be Jim submit to fingerprints to prove he is who he say's he is?

I am reading alot of unconvincing posts saying this is NOT Jim Morrison. I am a Medical Illustrator and advisor to Attornies at Law. I'm not saying it IS, but this deserves a closer look

The first GLARING fact that everyone is missing here is this RODEOWEST and website is flatly, no mistake about it, claiming this to be Jim Morrison of the band the DOORS. Son of Admiral G.S.Morrison, etc.

Listen people. Lawyers dont f**k around. So the estate of Jim Morrison should have shut this site down by now. This is a passive fact, but the lack of action against Rodeowest raises my eyebrows firstly.

Someone is saying the IRS would be after him. Bah. Anyone with millions can change their name, alter their face, change countries. Attorneys can arrange ANYTHING. Most don't know this because were not millionaires. People with money operate in a different world. His royalties could go to a trust, a laywer, several ways to trickle down..so NEXT!

Another genius poster said it doesn't look like him. Well, I did a "quicky" in photoshop and overlayed the famous Lion photo with the Rodeowest photo. It matched medically. The width of the eyes match very-very close. The eyes would be a first starting point as the eyes fix early in years, and stay fixed as we grow old. I calculate Jim Morrison the singer for the DOORS would be 62 now. The face would elongate and the nose would expand, etc. No photo of a 27 Y.O. would not match said person at 62 exactly. I find the picture on Rodeowest actually remarkeably similiar to the Jim of 27 photo. There is a similiar asymetry of the left eye, which is a bit more closed than the right. The curve of the nose matches. The chin matches as does the DISTINCTIVE mandibular angle. Vertically, all of the classic "Da Vinci" proportions are in place. Eye to nose, nose to lips, lips to chin. As well horizontally. Square face and distinctive mandible to bite ratio.

Personally, looking into the eyes of the famous Door's photo, and the photo of the man on the Rodeowest site, there was a subtle connection.

The RODEOWEST agent says he has fingerprints of Jim Morrison now. So, that would be interesting to see side by side.

Again, I cannot say it is him, but there are quite a few interesting things going on here. I don't respect the loud mouths who just barf up negative comments without posting a few facts or connections. Thats lame, even if this is a fake.
If this guy is a FAKE and a CON, this is DAMN good. Very very good. It DOES medically look like a 62 year old Jim Morrison to me.

And if youre going to slam my post, go ahead, but do with FACTS and logic not more lame excretions.

Thank you Dave,
Your reply is a very powerful response in defense of the truth. A truth which is in the darkness of a very tall and dark shadow. Please feel free to call Gerald Pitts at 541 560-4061 if you would like to hear even more factual evidence that this is THE JIM MORRISON.
Earlier in the year Gerald received a call from the Ball-Janick law firm out of Portland. I called the lawyer there, who was very polite, but who said that he could not discuss the nature of the case with me, only an attorney. Gerald chose to defend himself as lawyers could drag out sproceedings for years. The Portland lawyer backed out of the potential case. Rodeoswest, Inc. is prepared to stand up to any attorneys, media or staff members of the Doors of the 21st Century/Riders on the Storm/filthy rich exDoors members or Jim Morrison family members seeking incredible wealth through perverted means.

Jim Morrison lives alright...

There is woman named Martha Clark that dated Jim in Florida that is supposed to have had a kid from Jim.
It's my understanding that the band knows about Martha. At least Ray and John.

I searched for Martha Clark, Chris Morrison, and Chris Bangs ( the kids name ) and came up with some interesting links.

Also Cliff Morrison played in a band with Robbie Krieger's son Waylon and it is fairly well thought that the band supports his claim as well. After all, they sell his music on the doors.com.
