My thoughts exactly. Typical b******t American ignorance to anything happening outside the US. Ask literally ANYONE in Europe who they think the most influential frontman in rock history is and the name, of course, will be Freddy Mercury, not Jim f*****g Morrison

Marianne Faithful is recorded as saying that one of her ex-boyfriend's said he was responsible for Morrison's death via overdose. We'll probably never know.

These pictures have convinced me that Jim Morrison was snorting heroin while in France. His face is still bloated from alcohol abuse, but his weight loss almost gives him the appearance of younger days. Sadly, he did not heed his own advice regarding the use of heroin.

Jim Morrison didn’t like h****n. He took everything else, but if you do your research he never liked it. I saw somewhere that Pam gave him h****n to snort without him knowing and that might have been what killed him… if that’s the truth, we’ll never know
