- A few stories from my days hanging out with Jim Morrison of The Doors. Including the time his lawyer stashed me away in a cabin in Topanga while some legal things blew over... Hope you enjoy.

Amazing. This is like seeing an interview with someone who spent time with a deity. The sixties were such a unique and incredible time of unsurpassed musical creativity and Jim was an artist of unsurpassed intellect, natural vocal abilities, dark poeticism,sense of theatre and ferocious beauty. Its hard to think of anyone who combined those qualities so effortlessly
jupiter moongauge FUCKIN’ A.
This comment is one big platitude.
It's dripping w/ sickly sweetness.
I wipe my ass on it.
@@tonytafoya6217 oh yeah ? You think I don't think I haven't felt what I said exactly as I said it ? You tell me why I'm wrong , or your comment is just one big platitude and you have merely wiped your ass on yourself. Show me another rock vocalist with the intellect, drama, poetry, beauty, insight ,originality, fearlessness, freedom of thought of Jim Morrison and then I will consider your comment other than what it truly appears to be, the words of ignorance.
@Brett R junkie, no, alcoholic yes, many people are, many geniuses are, so fucking what ? Didn't bathe ? Great, I like him even more.
@@jupitermoongauge4055 they are just upset bc deep down they know their lives are garbage
This guy is an amazing artist, I wish I had some of his prints. He apparently had a stroke a few years back, I hope he's doing well.
This man is a great man, and an unbelievable painter/artist. It was my very great pleasure to make his acquaintance w/The Rattles, and hear about his time in Laurel Canyon with Jim & Pam. Miss you, Michael - hope you're well, brother!
Gonna poop now or later
Man, this guy looks good after so many years! He's gotta be at least 70!
Why hasn't this guy written a book?! Sounds like he's got great stories!
@JOHNONZ2 I bet better looking than you in his prime lol
@JOHNONZ2 handsome only in your eyes lol. Guarantee I'm better looking than you. I missed all the branches
Huh? He looks at least 70, what age do you think he looks?
@@pauli.vanili If he's about the same age as Jim, he's about 76.
But he still sounds young.
More! we want to hear more!
Fab stories and finally an interviewer how doesn't interrupt constantly and lets the guy tell the whole story!
he was interrupting to much for me
It's great to know who those people were in the famous Themis photographs! Thank you, Mr. B., for sharing your experiences with Jim and Pam :)
There probably were some rough moments hanging out with Morrison, but imagine the conversations you could have when Jim was in a good mood.
Pam was really good looking but she got the stupidest old lady hairdos
I think I would just be gratfull to enjoy the opportunity to create, possibly poetry or music.
Totally agree, Richard. Jim was quite a bit more than a drunk.
Majority of artists are not like their 'on stage' altar ego.
@@barryhansen1113 You can do that anyway. You don't need to be hanging out with anybody
Thank you for posting this most excellent interview for all of us fans to enjoy. These were fantastic stories.
Thanks for this. Just so great to hear real stories like this about our heros and legends. I would love to produce a film with these stories as the centerpiece - so many stories to tell!
Thank you for sharing these intimate Morrison
stories
What a great interview. Thank you for sharing
This is hands down my favourite interview
I love this.. and appreciate the sharing of his memories!
What a treasure to befriend that gentleman and get a chance to hear about his wild times around Jim and Pam!
thank you for documenting and preserving our culture
Love Hearing your memories. Thankyou! 🇭🇲
Living in those years, knowing the legendary Jim Morrison and being able to spend time with him…. it's all so wonderful and exciting❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️(why couldn't i live in those years ?)
Hanging out with iconic legends. Awesome !
Reputation precedes them.
Amazing story. Substance consumption is often viewed as problematic but this makes me appreciate I had my era of fun and exploration of consciousness.
thank you for sharing! dude's awesome
God bless
loved hearing this
Living with Jim must have been an exciting trip and such conversations I would have had deep conversations with him about history and such and a few drinks :-)
belia1313 Lastes why 1313?
what a cool story!, I just feel like drinkin a beer and listen the end a few times.
please please please..... more!
that's the funniest Jim Morrison story I've ever heard falling onto the table that is a goddamn classic😂😂
I love the painting in the background
Pure Gold 👍
As much as I love hearing about Jim Morrison, I'd rather hear stories about Jimbo. Great video!
Great video , but it was common knowledge around the doors circle that Jim hated the crew from Themis. He thought they were junkie hangers on of Pam.
how Jim put up with Pam and her drugs etc. is beyond me, it was a crazy relationship
Hilarious! Best laugh I've had in ages!!!!
What a cool painting in the background!
this is a great story
More! we want to hear more!
THAT WAS COOL AS SHIT!!!!!! THAT DUDE TOLD THOSE STORIES JUST LIKE HE WAS TELLING THEM TO ONE OF HIS BUDDIES HE HAD KNOWN FOR YEARS AND HAD JUST SPRUNG THAT ON THEM OUT OF THE BLUE. HOLY CRAP THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE WITNESSED IN A WHILE!!!!GET A SERIES GOING AND DO A BUNCH MORE WITH THAT DUDE!
That was great! Good clip
Brilliant anecdotes. I wish the interview lasted longer. In many parts of the Western world It often feels like we’re running out of cool places to hang out & enjoy each other’s company. I guess we’re on the cusp of meeting specifically in virtual spaces & hopefully that will liven scenes up a bit again, with augmented/virtual & mixed reality. Still, nothing beats an actual physical location from L.A, to Ibiza, to Goa & way out east. Poverty stricken countries often have the most poetic beauty because of the genuine degradation & how people learn to live despite the adversity. Life in those places is raw & vital & a world away from living life thru the screen on a phone.
Very true the west is a dying corpse. Im in Santa Marta Colombia and the lifeblood of the people in still in tact.
True. I’ve been to Syria and been awestruck by the beauty of the simplicity. The way of life is more primitive than in western countries and it really captured me. I took photos and wrote about it. I found the experience to be eye opening and beautiful.
KICK ASS STORY.... THANK YOU
Great stories. If you lived through those times and had the same life style as Morrison and friends (although perhaps not as extravagant) you probably have similar tales to tell. I know I do, although I'd be embarrassed to tell them at the age of 70. Not remembering due to excessive alcohol intake is all too common.
Does a photo of your exterior mural at Themis exist? I would love to see it!
I absolutely love your stories of your time with Jim. Thanks so much for sharing!
Amazing! Wish I could ask him more about Pamela, love hearing insights/stories about her from the people who knew her.
Yes!, I am 68 and was/is obsessed with Jim..I have spent decades trying to find out more about Pam.I have seen interviews with people in Paris who stated only because of statute of limitations could they talk. If you want more let me know here. But, if she was a junkie, how come more info does not turn up?. Her heroin dealer was also Marianne Faithfull's in Paris.
He was the soon of the wealthiest family in France. That's how they got Jim buried so quickly 1 signature. The dealer fled to Morracco immediately after and od's 1 yeard later. Pam od'd
in 1974 with 2 guys...I have the footage of all the interviews of the people at the Rock n' Roll Circus where Jim was carried out dead..put into the bathtub to look as a 'heart attack" story.
@@pitchamaikongchan6140 This was the time of the French Connection which had high grade heroin. I think Jim was at the Circus to score for Pam. Jim tried to snort some that could have been very pure and maybe the first time he did it. Bartender said Jim was really fucked up when he came in. I think this is close to what happened.
Friend Diane Gardner is quoted as saying in the book Break on Through by Riordan and Prochnicky, that
Pam was one of the funniest people I ever met. She was beautiful, she looked like the Snow Queen and yet she did things like collect Lugers. She had a vicious sense of humor. She loved travel because she said you never had to think about it. When you were traveling and you were a tourist, you got up and life happened to you. I liked her. She was the most dangerous girl I ever met.
@@redstar7292 She was dangerous because of her smack habit.
pitchamai kongchan You have footage of interviews of people at the Rock n’ Roll Circus? As someone who’s always been a huge fan of Jim Morrison and I’ve read a lot of books about his life, I’d be interested in seeing that! I didn’t know such evidence existed.
I love his energy. So intelligent.
What did he say that made him appear so Intelligent?
Fantastic.
Thanks for sharing.
I really enjoyed this. 😀
this is great stuff!
Sounds like they were close friend’s and shared good times!awesome
Is this gentleman still around and pursuing his art? What a great soul!
hes passed id imagine
Wow!!!
Fascinating.....
Please share your stories, friends, like this kind fellow.
He seems really friendly, lovely and cool.
Would love to hang out with him!
If you don’t share and you die (so sorry if this sounds insensitive - I do NOT mean it that way) but your stories and experiences die with you - and no one would know.
Thank you for sharing this.
He was stashed at “The Love Shack” and by the “Soul Kitchen”!!!!
Wow. Just. Wow!!!
❤️✌️❤️ RIP, Jim!!! ❤️✌️💗
This is so Cool to me because I love the 1960's music for fun lol
Get well soon Michael!!
more please!
I love this guy
Great story.
At least he can prove he met Jim and Pam because he has the two hippie group photos. He seems like a decent enough guy. But maybe he was heavy into Party scenes back then as a younger guy.
One of the reasons Jim and Pam left LA for Paris was in order to escape from the hangers on in LA. But it didn’t work out very well.
It was a lot easier to hang out with rock musicians back then, but they're old now and people forget or mix up details in stories, so others are suspicious when they say they met Hendrix or whatever.
@Juvenal Catullus And then Pam became a baby and named it Courtney who then met Kurt Cobain and shot him in 1994, right?
@@dailyflash how old are you? I notice that the youth of today think old is ..say ..your fortys? I think the ppl in their twenty's today lack
Just Imagine, talk about memories!
Priceless memories
These pictures are amazing. I really want to buy a print :)
So do your research, contact him then buy one. Not difficult
WHAT A KING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Awesome.
Morrison was gorgeous!
Love this...😎
NEVER GOT THE WALLET back, n yes Jim being drunk and obnoxious, these stories are ubiquitous but I love every one of them LOL XX
Here is as good as any of these clips to ask. Where is the Dennis C. Jakob interview? Great interviews collected, thanks!
EMC2Scotia- please explain for those of us who don’t know 🙏
I'm so glad I watched this. I'd really like to have a few cold ones and smoke a joint with this guy.
Reminds me of Billy bob thorton
I was thinking Jeff Goldblum.
.
..
Oh man these stories, toilet hugging drunk with Jim Morrison LOL XX
Great stories! One question I would love to hear answered from this guy is where he was when he learned that Jim died.
Why?
@@mattiemclean9882 Why? Because he was close to Jim. I am sure there is a heartfelt story about it that he remembers very well.
The Guy knew and hanged around with Jimbo Morrison Cool!! The Lizard King Diaries!!!😎🚪🎸🦎📚🎹🎤🥁👏👍🚪
*hung around. He surely wasn't hanging anybody I hope.
ive heard about the story where jim falls before. crazy that you were than man
Obviously he was not boring person. Awesome )
cool vid.
I would give the tip of my right pinkie to be in a picture with Jim Morrison
Etyere Petyere I’d give up the whole finger without a doubt.
My ex wife wanted to start a business I bank rolled it .I lost a bundle everyone had fun except for me .sounds like Jim was paying everyone else was playing.
priceless!
Is there more to this?
Good times...good times.
two funny quicidences with this video @ 2:11 his moustache looks exactly like the symbol from a defunct NBA team called the Cleveland Rebels which I was just looking at half an hour ago. #2: On his wall is what appears to be a monkee head which is funny because just yesterday as I was tearing down a shelf in the apartment I've lived for 17 years and I got a flashback memory from when I first moved in (2003) I put this head of a monkee clay figure on my wall and how this made the landlord and the painter laugh when they came to finish up fixing something as I was still moving in. #3 is it just me but does this guy not seem familiar like he's been in B movies. #4 must have been awesome to have been friends with Jim.
What an interesting life.
crazy cool
These stories should have been in the Oliver Stone movie, freaking awesome!
True enough, the Stone movie was an embarassment
Brian Young Yeah I’ve read the remaining members at the time did not agree with Stone’s adaptation. What about the movie do you not agree with? Was it mainly Val Kilmer or how Stone expressed discontent with some of the band members against Jim?
@Angie Gomez good point Angie! Too bad we can't get another, more accurate Doors movie.
@@hfm2374 Sadly, there will never be another “major” Doors Hollywood movie. Stone’s piece is a movie, not a documentary. It has many strong points. Btw Robbie served as a consultant for the film; it was mainly Ray who despised it.
@@jamescooper3571 You’re a lucky man James! I’m sure you’ve got some great stories that are not already included in this video. Lately I’ve been reading about Jim’s Mustang. Any clue if that car is around somewhere or was it totaled like some of the stuff I’ve read? That’s a cool pic by the way, it’s in the book I read! ✌🏼✌🏼
what's this guy's name?
What a mad lad
does anybody know what Pamela's hairdresser was called by any chance? Let me know if you do please and thank you:))
Hahahah. Good stuff.
Jim is fascinating. Beside a few exceptions, other rock stars are not fascinating because they are not intellectuals.
Wonder if the band he mentioned Phantom's Devine Comedy?
Nah, it's probably St John Green: th-cam.com/video/kLtcBb9eMcc/w-d-xo.html
what is this dudes name? anyone?
Lol, at first I thought this guy was a doctor just about to go into surgery . No disrespect, just the first thing that came to my mind. :)
that's hilarious
Wasn't his movie called Highway?
Yup
He looks great for his age! 😃✌️🌹
Lmao,that story...😆
I wish he remembered the name of the band that Jim hollered at.. ( Iggy?)
The band St John Green, most likely: th-cam.com/video/kLtcBb9eMcc/w-d-xo.html
Thank you! I was wondering who that was also!
I wonder who that band was that Jim was heckling?
St John Green, most likely.
Anyone have any theories of who Jim was heckling at the Whisky that night?
The cult? Lol
I saw another version of this video where this man was identified as Andrew Morrison, Jim’s younger brother.
He isn’t Andrew
*thinking we could be listening to Jim Morrison,here....*
The star that burns twice as bright burns half as long...Jim burned very brightly.
i read somewhere due to supposed similarities, jim had a jealous beef, or tension, with the singer of clear light, both them and the doors were bought by elektra records. i wonder if that was who this mans referring to, stealing jims moves. even so, 'night sounds loud' by clear light remains a super amazing psych rock song for the ages...
Film was called Hwy. Not Lizard King.
josh shoemaker he met him. bar stools...
It might've been called Lizard King before HWY.
th-cam.com/video/6ojURx4Zdqc/w-d-xo.html
No it was LIZARD KING!
HWY is the movie.
