Jim Morrison

Fifty years after the Lizard King's death, the most extensive collection of his writings is being published.

Robby Krieger and John Densmore of the Doors recalled witnessing their shy and retiring singer Jim Morrison's transformation into his dynamic Lizard King persona.

Doors Week continues on the B Rock Notes. It was 46 years ago this week (July 3rd, 1971) that Jim Morrison was found dead in a bathtub in Paris, France.

When the Doors singer died, all the requisite boxes were ticked for an old-fashioned mystery.

Jim Morrison was captured on film for a final time during a day trip with girlfriend Pamela Courson on June 28, 1971.

A cave where Doors fans have been paying tribute to Jim Morrison in the form of graffiti is being closed indefinitely.

The Doors singer hoped to reorient himself emotionally and creatively. He never returned.

Did he or didn't he?

The singer was already in a headlong downward spiral by the time he performed this final show.

It was a clash of mainstream culture vs. the counterculture.
