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.

Cliff has no money. nothing. mr. bocox is under the ass-umption that cliff will be coming into tons of money soon with some non-existent record deal. He is living in this mans house for free. cliff says he will outright purchase the house as soon as he makes it. that was their deal over a year ago. he is still living there for free. NOW....if he had all his daddys money, would he be living there for free?! ps. cliffs june concert raked in about 300 people.i'm sure pretend daddy would be proud
if I (a regular joe) can fall foul of impersonators then so can dead/live/MIA celebrities.
Cliff Marston is not jims son, he is a wretch, if jim genuinely has any children then please let them live in peace unless they request otherwise.
i personally think that Jim is alive in our hearts and on that note he will never die.
i think people don't want to think of jim as some old cowboy, all ugly and old. they want him young and crazy. that is all. if it is him, he's laughing at everyone of us.
Peace and Love.
What I wanted to make you all understand is that you are in control of yourselves.
Since the day came when you passed thru them beef curtains and enter'd this world, you did break on thru. Sad to say you were thrown into this prisoner world planet.God will not save you, why would he? he already sent his son to die for you.
You are the god,save yourself. stand up for yourself...and never surrender.
Do not expect to ever leave this planet, nor your children, remember no one here gets out alive. I am to damm old to fight for you but thanks for listening to the great gift of thought, and then came words.
I would like to say thank Mr.Ramsterdam for his assistance in closeing his eyes and seeing into the future, it is only by this action that the unknown is known.

I see you're from Rockford. Are you a Good Year Pimps fan? They had songs on Mission Impossible 2 and Crazy Beautiful and are pretty established rock and rollers. I am pals with all of them, especially Hilly, GT and Tony... at least I thought I was. I desparately tried to get them to help break out this story and they turned their back on me. Rock and Roll is all about being focused. On greed.
I'm sorry to tell you all that Jim Morrison is most definately deceaced...My Mothers brother was an assistant corroner (is that correct English?) in Paris when he had died.
He was called to the appartment to insist that the decomposing body was released by his wife who had been refusing any aid or assistance. His body was covered in ice, but as soon as it was applied it melted due to the hot summer...It didnt stop his body rotting too much.
His neighbour below his appartment (Mdme Roche) complained to the landlord or the building about water coming through her ceiling and an unpleasant smell...hence the arrival of my Uncle with two Gendarmes. His corpse was eventually removed with some force...My Uncle descibed him to me as an overweight long haired man in his 50's...and was astounded....amazed that he was actually ony 27..(although the body at this time was black and bloated)
I dont understand why the myth of Jim Morrison being alive still persists when the French Authorities have detailed documentory evidince of his death and have always had it!
I only assume it is because the surviving members of the Doors want to perpetuate that myth...As for me...I've read his poetry which I think stands alone from his music...some of which I like very much...we French recognise poets and I think Rimbaud would have been very proud of Jim Morrison, but also very sad that he took his (Rimbauds) experiment, so literally.to a fatal extreme
God rest you Jim Morrison...I hope that some of you fans will find my mail helpful.

Andrei
It is not correct English. Just because you don't know how to speak English doesn't mean we should believe your nonsense about a decomposing composer.
I wonder if you could comment in perfect French in response to what I said..if not then your remarks on my English grammar musst rebound on you.
Jim Morrison loved my Country and in death was connected to it , and my family..in a weird kind of way...so please dont be a racict and assume that you're right...you are not Jim Morrison because he is dead, and if he was alive then he would not be as rude as you; he was an educated man which you obviously are not.
Respond in French if you can Sir.. I repeat that I only have commented on what I have been told by a member of my family who was present in the appartment whereas I assume you were not.

Andrei
Pay no attention to Jlizard he just seeks attention as I feel he is Shane Pitts,
so jlizard, piss off. fucking wanna Be
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 64 now. The face would elongate and the nose would expand, etc. No photo of a 27 Y.O. would not match said person at 64 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.
who's knockin ur post? every one has an opion bro,that's why we are all here. did u get my last email?
please explain why you are doing this again is it because your title is Press for rodeo west???????????? ur phone # and everything is right there on Pitts site? whats up with that????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Thanks Keri and Aries for your kind words, but I confess that Jlizzards comments did a good thing...because firstly I contacted my Uncle who is still alive and resides just ousite of Paris...he is quite old but still very fit and health...I asked him to refer back to all those years ago..and his response to me might explain something to those who do not live in France.
1)coffin was nailed shut AFTER being identified by friends.(it was over 40C in Paris that year)..my Uncle said that every body (corpse starts decomposing after about four hours in that heat...Keri is this true?..I'm not a medical person.
2)It was Madame Roche who notified the authorities...ie my Uncle and NOT friends or family of Jim Morrison...due to a leaking within her ceiling.
3) France is very different to the USA with regards to the treatment of deads...ie open casket is acceptable but not without embalmbing..it is only usual in the winter. or cool months.
I leave you with this thought...and I'm leavin for Paris tomorrow because I'm so excited about this...My Uncle was as is a total beurocrat and has told me he took photos of every corpse that he had to associate with...He did not know that Jim Morrison were a celebrity..he was just a summer body like hundreds...noone ever asked him..noone except me..despite all the history..fame etc..I dont hold my thumbs just now (fingers crossed you say I think)..just imagine if the photos are of Jim...well RIP..if not? Hmm
I'd like to say more but space doesn't allow

Jlizzarrd...I hope to say Hmmm and what
I only posted my mail about 20 minutes ago and already Jlizzard slighted me although I sort of agreed with him just now...Jlizzard...stop being rude to people who are trying to be serious about a subject!
I have no idea if Jim Morrison is alive or deads...but if you purporte to be him..and if you are him (which I dont believe you are for a single moments).but if I believed you were him.then I will rip up every poem that you ever wtote (I felt to me when I was a young boy)...I will smash every record in my collection (I only have two)...Jims poetry meant so much to me..so if you're alive...and especially if you're Jlizzard then you are a beast...and better off dead...lets see what my Uncle has to offer!
I suspect that you are a nasty gentleman with nothing good to say about anyone...let alone about yourself...You most certainly not my hero...

(ps I'm sad that I got into this debate)
Not only the French are buried here. One striking tomb is that of Oscar Wilde. There are always a few fresh flowers. But there are so many celebrities, you can buy a special 'map' at the gate. It includes a list of poets, painters, singers, actors and well known courtesians. Schools often bring their classes here.
When Jim first took me there in 1968, he walked through the gates with an exuberant air. "Thanks you," he flapped his map in an attendant's face. "I've already got one!"
"How long have you had it?" I asked.
"Almost two years," he said.
He gave me a frown. "I have a propelling pencil!"
I have just returned from my familys home near Paris and I retrieved three photographs which my Uncle took of what he thoughted was a middle aged American guy in that summer.
I must say that he is totally amazed about the fuss and bother about Jim...no one has ever asked him about it though he was one of the first there; no biographer..no writer ...nothing..I'm afraid I have something that might upset many people.
I have three polaroid photos of a person who looks very much like Jim Morrison...one on left side of face..one on right side..and one of whole person covered with what looks like a curtain or cover of some kind...In no way do I say it is him..but by God it looks like him.
I desribe for you what he looks like (you understand that firstly I must send these photos to his family and so on for their consideration, before I release to the public...my Uncle insisted this.
The photos show a guy...rather plump with a (flannel?) in his hand with what looks like a bit of blood on it..His eyes are semi shut and his face does not smile like I read before somewhere but looks..hmmm pained?..like he'd had a fright or something.
His face is dead white but his hands and feet appear dark in these pictures..they're pretty good quality for their age.
As I said before I must send these photos to the family before releasing them publicly...I am not a huge fan as I said before..just a connexion within my family..his poetry moves me more than the music...I'm sorry because I think I'm about to spoil some dreams and wishes...I too wish he was still alive and writing that beautiful poetry;
I'm sorry but when you see these three photos you'll (probably) manage to believe
Best as ever

I am so sorry that i posted my comments before I read yours...I was too excited to write what I found at my Uncles.
To answer your question, I know from my own experiences what it is to die in France...Grandfather..Grandmother and so on.
The custom (usually) is to have a coffine opened fo the family to view..to say goodbye before burial...not many here are crematione
My understanding from what my Uncle said yestersay was that as it was a holidey, there was no morticians who could embalm his body..with fluid instead of blood...instead they packed the body with ice to delay...hmm decomposure?
This is not unusual in France...though it might seem strange to Americans....the family look after the dead before the State gets involved. I hope I dont sound arrogent because I write these things with Anglo/French dictionary
Best regards Keri
