James Douglas Morrison, was a good student, but during puberty, he was defiant. The parents sent him to the strict Presbyterian grandparents, the hard abstainers were, just him, who later missed no drug. But the young rebel turned not only against the values ​​of their grandparents, but also against his father. While George Morrison, who had worked his way up in the navy to Admiral, an entire aircraft carrier association before Vietnam commander, called home his son to overthrow on: "I'm interested in everything that has to do with revolt, disorder, chaos, particularly actions who apparently have no sense. " That sounded a bit like poetry, and Morrison was not only a musician but also a poet. Already with twelve years he wrote his first poems, eventually were added lyrics. 1965, after completing his studies of film and theater studies, Morrison founded with fellow student Ray Manzarek, the band "The Doors". The name refers to the psychedelic essay "The Doors of Perception" by Aldous Huxley. At first they played in the "Whisky a Go Go" in Hollywood. The nightclub left scantily clad girls dancing on pedestals and so invented the Go-Go Girls. The late sixties played here for a few hundred dollars Van Morrison, The Byrds, Frank Zappa and even the Doors. Jim Morrison was the face of the group. He was known, loved but also hated. With fame not only envy but also the state power came. Again and again interrupted the police often violent concerts, and the "Miami incident" in 1969 went a long way. Morrison had now denuded public or not? The court sentenced him to community service, later he was pardoned. Much later, specifically in December 2010, almost 40 years after the incident. After the "Miami incident" fame health abated, also. Alcohol and drugs had made the former sex symbol a pudgy, bearded man who constantly suffered from shortness of breath. The wild mane, styled after a bust of Alexander the Great had become stringy. In 1971 he wanted to be inspired in and out of Paris, although he did not speak French. What exactly happened on July 3, 1971 in the Paris apartment, is still not clear. His partner Pamela Courson said she had awakened the gasping during sleep Morrison and laid to rest in the tub. Since he had vomited and bled from the nose. When the paramedics arrived, he was already dead. Supposedly Courson had once called a few friends and her drug dealer, then only the police and ambulance. The emergency physician noticed a cardiac arrest. The Paris authorities was the dead Americans not known, classified him accordingly as too unimportant a, initiating no autopsy of the corpse. The resulting ambiguities are still reason for all sorts of speculation about the real circumstances and what happened during the night of death of Jim Morrison. Morrison was just 27 years old. Just as Brian Jones, Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain or Amy Winehouse. And then came the legend of the "Club 27" in the media, because striking many musicians, intentionally or not, with 27 exhaled her life by the bottle, syringe or gun. Even Pamela Courson, Morrison's time girlfriend died three years after him, from a drug overdose, with 27 Jim Morrison was in Melbourne / Florida / USA born, died in Paris / France and was buried in Père Lachaise / Paris / France.
