Thank God it is the weekend and I can write on something other than the obscenities of the world…….I do not write much about the gossip of the day…..like the Kardashians or Beebs or any of the other dicks that think their lives are something more than the rest of us…..but I will make an exception this time for what I rewad is about one of my fave groups back in the 60’s and 70’s…..the Doors.

(Newser) – The death of Doors frontman Jim Morrison at the age of 27 back in 1971 still has all kinds of conspiracy theories and weirdness connected to it, thanks to the lack of an autopsy. Doctors cited heart failure, and now former girlfriend Marianne Faithfull tells British music site Mojo that she knows exactly what happened: It was a heroin OD caused by her boyfriend at the time, a dealer named Jean de Breiteuil. Faithfull says Breiteuil went to visit Morrison at his Paris apartment, but she stayed behind:

• “I could intuitively feel trouble,” she recalls. “I thought, I’ll take a few Tuinal and I won’t be there. And he went to see Jim Morrison and killed him. I mean I’m sure it was an accident. … The smack was too strong? Yeah. And he died.”

Of course, it’s not the first time Morrison’s death has been linked to heroin or even to heroin supplied by Breiteuil, notes the Washington Post. But this seems to be the most definitive account offered by Faithfull. As she herself notes, “Everybody connected to the death of this poor guy is dead now. Except me.” (A nightclub manager says Morrison OD’d in his bar, then got moved back to his apartment, but Faithfull isn’t backing that up.)

I recalled when Morrison died….I recall the feeling of loss when I heard the news kinda like the loss I felt when John Lennon was killed…….all the greats seem to die young from whatever it was….Joplin, Hendrix, Morrison, and left us with lesser talents…….
