Jim Morrisson the Stalker

Post by Sloth »

Did anyone read that article in Uncut about Arthur Lee complaining that Jimmy Hendrix stole his act and Jim Morrisson stalked him constantly, stole his girlfriend, and one day swam naked in his swimming pool without his permission?

Pretty funny. I don't know whether it's true or not... but apparently Jim married an ex girlfriend of Mr. Lee.

Funny funny. I heard that old Jim quote, 'One day I want the Doors to be as big as Love" or whatever but it's funnier to hear the story from other side.

Very funny. That's from his unpublished auto-bio.

Forever Changes is in the top 3 albums of all time. It only gets better and better the more you listen to it.

According to the Ian Curtis book, Joy Division thought that, upon their trip to Holland, the Paradiso venue was a more important site to see than Ann Frank's house because the Doors had played there. Apparently Joy Division had gone there to play at the Paradiso, but I don't know that it was necessarily one of their best gigs. I think there was bad luck if I recall.

For more about amazing Joy Division gigs I've heard of late, please check out my ridiculous forum. Thanks.
