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.

Jim Morrison's son??
Never heard it about, please, someone can explain me?

...A God called Jim
Morrison is as dead as Elvis. Accept it.
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?
ALTHOUGH I SAW THIS ON CNN NEWS HIS SON GEORGE
RETIRED FROM THE NAVY SO HE CAME OUT OF EXILE FOR THIS PLEASE REPLY I ALWAYS HAD A FEELING JIM WAS
STILL ALIVE SO PUT THAT IN YOUR PIPE AND SMOKE IT

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.
-D
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.
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.

Before becoming lead singer of The Doors, Jim Morrison studied film at Florida State University prior to his transfer to the film department of the University of California, Los Angeles. 42 years ago Morrison created his only surviving film starring his roommate Max Schwartz, who helped him out when Morrison threatened to become homeless. With the obscure print still in his possession, Schwartz, now a poet- photographer, leads us around his studio while talking about his friendship with Morrison, about the last day they plunged into a swimming pool in Bel Air ('the
last innocent day of our lives') and about the love of Schwartz life, Liz, whom he eventually lost. The documentary OBSCURA comes to a climax with Morrison's film FIRST LOVE shown in it's entirety.
What is truly unique about the film is the viewer's ability to actually look through the eyes of Jim Morrison. OBSCURA also provides the missing strand needed to sequence the creative DNA that produced the artists Jim Morrison and The Doors.
Morrison's simulated sex scene, phallic symbolism and preoccupation with voyeurism manifest itself later as a performer and is already distinctly
present in this early document. Emerging media soundtrack by Dave Aron.
How are your teeth doing, because your mind sure seems to be playing a hoax on you isn't it. How can one get Jim's teeth when A) the French won't allow anyone to dig up his grave because it is too big of a tourist attraction and B) Jim's body is not in that casket as you see on the Jim Morrison Discovery video from Rodeoswest.
I still don't know what to think, and I am still suspicious. If it is Jim, why is he allowing the guy to advertise him like that? If it is Jim, then why doesn't he prove it to everyone himself, instead of having this guy do it in such a suspicious way? Curious.
Looking forward to more comments.
I am still very hesitant and skeptical; Gerald kept telling me to "get the video". Well I saw one person's comment here that said he saw the video and it did not provide him with any evidence. Gerald told me "well.....he is singing all of the Doors songs in the video".
Gerald told me that "everyone" who sees him and has met him, "knows" that it is him.
So I remain curious, and skeptical.......and determined to solve this mystery.
Looking forward to more comments.
No One Here Gets Out Alive
by Jerry Hopkins and Danny Sugerman
Here's the link to buy it from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/One-Here-Gets-Out-Alive/dp/B000LP670G/sr=1-1/qid=1168898282/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/105-8369912-2402835?ie=UTF8&s=books
Now, as a 15-year-old, I know I can't show as good as evidence as everyone else, but I am still voicing my opinon.
Please, read this book now, and argue later.
Some commas would be helpful, too.
Thank you.
..........let's get back to the topic.
The more and more I look at that pic posted above, with the squinty tiny eyes, it just isn't him. On the other hand, the cowboy hat pic with his head tilted to the side does look like him.
I have resolved that the only way *any* of us are going to know, is if we meet him in person. Watch him. Look at him. See for ourselves. Unless it is really obvious on the video, which Alex says it isn't.
So how can we all work together on this?
Does anyone know how much money the DOORS made on this new 40 year anniversary box set cd that just came out? I saw like a 15 x 15 glass picture of it at a Barnes and Nobles and was shocked. It was funny too because I saw a kid reading No One Hear Gets out Alive and I went up to him and said Hey, Jim is still alive, check out Rodeoswest.com. And he got all excited and probably went home and did!
Cool name ~ my brother, Dad and nephew are all Donalds!
Anyhow, I have to disagree to hounding him; he wouldn't like that and it's not very respectful. I live in Marin County, and we have a lot of famous people here. We have no paparazzi here; when we see and/or run into famous people/celebrities, no one approaches them, or anything. A couple of months ago, James Hetfield (Metallica), was right in front of me in line at Whole Foods. The whole store was crowded, not one person went up to him. We pretty much leave people alone.
What I meant, was watch him, and notice him. I think once we see him in person, face to face, that will answer our question whether it's him or not. I mean, if you know someone, you know someone. You get that immediate "knowing" feeling, everything about the person; their visual appearance, and their essence.
For example, John Densmore NOW looks like John Densmore THEN. Clint Eastwood NOW looks like Clint EAstwood THEN. Jack Nicholsen NOW looks like Jack Nicholson THEN. Robin Williams NOW looks like Robin Williams THEN. And so on and so forth. There's no guess or mystery. People really don't change that much.
So I am veering towards the "it's not him" side.....because if we can't be convinced by these pictures, then it can't be him. I think when we see a picture of Jim, we are going to KNOW and it will hit us "Yeah! That's him alright!". There's just too much mystery and suspicion with this guy's website.
I just didn't like how the guy (Gerald) kept telling me "buy the video, buy the video".......Sheesh, is he just out to sell this darned video for $20-whatever dollars?
The other thing I am now trying to do is contact John Densmore, and find out if it's true if he verified/confirmed that it's Jim or not. John Densmore will tell us the truth. I have his book, "Riders on the Storm".
JLizard,
Can you get more info. and keep us updated with this crew that is going up there to investigate?
Love, Cris.
One more thing.
Does that guy have so little of a life that he had to reply to njs' comment 15 minutes after he posted it? Leave the kid alone. If he read the book, more power to him.
James Douglas Morrison officially and legally has only one son that he knew of. Of over 20 paternity suits that were filed against The Doors, most after Jim's death, there was only one. This paternity test was done before Jim's death. Jim made arrangements to support the child and his family and they never wanted for anything. The child
Are you posting a press release from the DOORS or something. I've been on this story for some time and our findings do NOT line up whatsoever. And I mean whatsoever. Jim has several children and one even performed with Whalen Krieger (Robbie Krieger of the DOORS's son) and you can even buy their cd on the website. If you're too heavyset, maybe you can hire someone to run around and do a little investigating. Well unless, you just want to give a little foreplay lukewarm snipit of insite. I guess that is ok too. Thanks.
If you can prove that Cliff lived in Texas as a child and later New Orleans on Dec 11th, 1970, maybe so. But that is not the case.
Cliff Morrison's real name is Cliff Marsden. The Admiral and Mrs. Morrison met Cliff one time for 15 minutes in the mid-1980s. Nothing came of it except disgust with their son-in-law (who set up the meeting) for being taken in by this grifter. Anne has two sons and one daughter with Alan Graham, and Andy has one son and one daughter. Andy's son is a musician living on the East Coast, and like the rest of the family, values his privacy.
Isn't it odd that the genuine blood relatives are not interested in exploiting Jim's name, while the fakes are clamoring for attention?
Jim Morrison is alive.
