I wish you would have asked him about Jim's old drinking buddy/bodyguard Babe Hill who reportedly has been living down in old Mexico for several years now. I heard that Babe once started to write a book about Jim, but all his notes and/or papers blew away when he set them atop a car and a gust of wind came along and scattered them everywhere and he never started to write again. That dude truly does need to write a book before he dies. He hung out with Jim. The rest of The Doors were only basically around him during rehearsals and actual concerts.
I completely agree! He was closer to Jim than anybody else, even the Doors. He has so many untold classic stories he needs to write a book or do a podcast of lengthy interview ✌🏼🦎👑
I told my first AA sponsor I was going to do my 5th step with Jim Morrison using a ouija board. I thought I was finally going to say something to the old man that would really get him riled up, but nope. He just told me to make sure I actually wrote my 4th step before trying to summons Mr Mojo Risin.
The story Morrison is a cautionary tale…let’s not sugar coat it… he like Kerouac…Joplin…Jerry G and countless others wasted God given talent and died with so much potential that it is nothing short of tragic…the line is straight and unforgiving. Either you change or you die…it’s not easy it’s no pretty it’s just about time… time to grow up. I know I can’t do it alone and I welcome everyone to the last trip!
Jim was the only one who took performance back to where it all began... Ancient Greece.
Dionysus has returned home..
@@peterroberts7684 The Greek Classics - yes. Dionysus and the poetic verse. He was well read and foremost a poet. Something incredibly appealing -besides his most gorgeous voice and physicality. His intellect was engaging.
Is that where "Theatre of cruelty" got started??
@@mackychloe yes, in Paris
@@mackychloe Antonin Artaud -Paris
I was lucky enough to meet Ray Manzarek about 1990 when I worked at West LA Music.
I cannot wait to open this book. Fully ripe words laden with ideas I am sure penned with a depth of thought typified by Jim Morrison.
Bless and rest . Grateful for the collection created xxx
Great Talk Drew, Jeff is a GOD for overcoming all of this. Love these interviews
Thanks!! didn't know he had a new poetry book. just bought it
Thank You Sunset
Jim was a genius and left a great legacy,of music,poetry and film 🎥...Jim was perhaps a tortured soul,but according to those who were his friends,he was quite a humorous guy,and from his lyrics and poetry,he did love his friends and lived life with a passion..In London ,England,in Westminster Abbey,there is a Poets corner,where all the Great luminarys of British literature and poetry are buried,e,.g,Dylan Thomas,Coleridge,Blake ,Shelley,amongst many others,and these literary giants All lived on the edge,and on numerous occasions drunk to extreme,and indulged in let’s say mind altering substances,and sometimes engaged in dangerous romantic dalliances,they had a desire to live like the Ancients,like the Heroes of Greece,and many ways they did,and I would ascribe Jim Morrison to be in That pantheon of people who achieved greatness in the field of Literary Art,and to have left a legacy that almost makes him immortal,Jim is still considered a sort of Demi God by his fans,and New generations are discovering the Great man,and the awesome band,” The Doors “....Some of us are Not meant to grow old,Jim was never going to live a long life,just listen to his music..p.s.,Jim is what most front men would like to be,and there have been many wannabes,and donning leather pants won’t turn you into Jim,because beyond the leather clad Rock God/Sex God image,was always an enquiring intellect..
I think think the efficacy between LSD, alcohol, and mental health are worlds apart. However, without an intervention, I think Morrison’s fate was sealed.
that's for certain
Between a rock and hard place either you CHANGE or you DIE…it’s a really really stark reality that hurts either way.
@MOONL⚡️GHT LOVE 💓 Not true. You ever watch the show intervention? Sometimes it does go well. It depends on a lot of circumstances. Being rich and famous can keep an intervention from going well.
Great stuff!
Jim had an IQ of 149, he was a genius.
@Let Your L⚡️GHT Forever Shine ❤️ Great observation! I like it!
Weird that he mentioned Frank Lisciandro and the book No One Here Gets Out Alive.
Frank Lisciandro and all of Jim Morrison's close friends, as well as Jim's family, refer to that book as Nothing Here But A Lot of Lies.
Sensationalism, things taken out of context, glorified groupies and stalkers being counted as a legitimate part of Jim Morrison's life, flat out lies - there are a lot of things wrong with the famous No One Here Gets Out Alive. A lot of things.
I don't know what Jerry Hopkins' big grudge was against Jim Morrison but Danny Sugerman was a junkie and Doors' groupie who was working as Ray Manzarek's personal assistant when the book was being written, all of Sugerman's accounts of having a special big brother/little brother relationship with Jim turned out to be a bunch of lies and Ray Manzarek had an uncredited hand in helping to write that book.
After The End was featured in the film Apocalypse Now, The Doors we're back on the radar and No One Here was probably Ray's exploitative way of trying to capitalize on the band's new found popularity.
If you want to read a couple of decent books about Jim and The Doors read Frank Lisciandro's Jim Morrison: Friends Gathered Together and Robby Krieger"s memoir.
Morrison didn't live very long and seemed to keep himself to himself so we may never get a fair and accurate look at him.
Thx.
Not buying this equivalency between all psychoactive drugs idea. The patterns and effects on life and health are widely varied.
If you take 100 people who've never had alcohol and put them in a room and feed them booze all day, you might come up with 2 who wind up being alcoholics.
If you take another 100 people and put them in a room and give them heroin, you'll probably wind up with 70 to 80 heroin addicts.
Never heard Of Jeff, in 30 years, 15 books.
Well now you have
Imagine going to one of those underground AA meetings in the late "60's and seeing Morrison there. I know it never happened, just hypothetical
Most addicts have to hit a bottom of some sort before they change. It can be lost relationships, jobs, losing a house, serious health condition, jail etc before they might try sobriety. He had money, fame his job got more famous because of his behavior and he was running away from a jail sentence to France. How many people can do that? His life was a runaway train by that point.
I'm grateful for the Doors music.
@@brianwalsh1401some addicts "bottom" is death. Must have been that way for Jim.
"Jim wasn't into drugs".
"But he did acid, right?"
"Well.......yeah". :^)
Fuckin Aye could you tell us where were the 4 performances were the night before Jim left to Miami? And was one of them at the met theater off Santa Monica Blvd?
I've never heard of this guy. He could'nt have managed The doors. He was born in 1959.
Sadly Jim couldn’t live up to his potential. Such a shame he died before he could do more.
Nope, he achieve everything.
He reached beyond what 99% of people. What about Hendrix? He made 3 studio albums
😂 You sound like Jim's assistant manager at the bank.
Morrison doesn't seem like the type of person to enter rehab. He liked the feeling of being out of control. What is not being mentioned is that Jim died of an accidental heroin overdose in Paris.
I think 🤔 he was killed on purpose.
I did not know Jimbo but I doubt he did just a little bump of anything.
Keep coming back.
Grace Slick recalls when they did the Euro '68 tour wandering up/down streets of Amsterdam with the Doors ,people would give them free drugs. Grace recalls saying thank you mabey I might have a puff of this,save this pill for later,put it in my pocket..Jim on the other hand took everything on the spot what was given to him. Yeoww..I dunno if she made that up but...
Does anybody know is this video filmed at Sunset Sound?
Yes
Jeff was 5 years old in 1966
KIRK SO -: in 1971 Jeff was 12 yrs old how did he manage the doors cuz he was born in 1959 right?
what is the name of Jim Morrison new book 📙 📙
Saying is no difference between having a beer and shooting meth is ludicrous! What the f***
That is exactly what I was thinking!
Yeah, that was a cringeworthy attempt at being analytical.
Once you're an addict, whatever subtance will awaken the dragon . it could be meth or booze............that was his point and he's right about that. Meth addicts are frowned upon, they're cooky and loopy and drop out of society, are obbsessd with meth, and recovery is very difficult.. but there are some alcoholics who's behaviour is much worse. You dont see meth heads shitting themselves....typically, not to mention the headaches from alchohol.......
He’s right Alcohol is a drug the same as any other it ruins lives and destroys everything around the addict.
Right on cue Jim appears at 9:13 😉
Dude’s been dead for 50 years! His brother and sister are still alive and well.
please let me know
Jim was known to do coke, tunials, and opium. Alcohol may have been his preference, but the guy did drugs.
How old is this guy?
You're kidding yourself if you think Jim would have been part of any rehab program. Just because recovery has been important for some, more and more in recent years, doesn't mean many others in their choices are bent that way at all. My heroes like Cash just did it and didn't talk about it.
AA existed during Jim’s time, it wasn’t the 1800s when he was around. I’ve heard a lot of people (not you) including Densmore say things like “we didn’t know alcohol was a disease”. Yeah , the “disease concept” wasn’t around then but the same AA philosophy was. JM wanted to drink to escape life. He may have wanted to slow it down a little here and there because of consequences but he was never going to get sober .
@@Earthtime3978 I didnt know to drink to escape life...for many, yes.
He had to or die… sure glad he made that curve…”by the grace of God”
This guy was at the back of the bus, and felt shunned.
The Doors are releasing a new album Jim Jr’s lyrics and a few Doors originals.. Coming Soon
-Jim Morrison Jr.
-BulletHead 2024
Jim didn’t do drugs,that’s A good one . How the hell would this guy know. Grace said he did when the Airplane toured with Doors in Europe. I have no lies, wasn’t there.
I can’t stand people who believe 12 step programs like AA and NA are the only answer to addiction. Trust me they are not and work for a very small percentage of people.
Word. Schoolboy worldview
Isn’t acid drugs???
What was Jim's drink of choice?
All.
Whiskey
I’ve read he preferred whiskey (jack daniels) too be more specific, Chivas (Scotch whiskey) & beer
Irish whiskey
2 to 3 bottles of whiskey a day
Why is this guy listed as the Doors manager that is not accurate ? I have never read in any of the many Doors books I have never read anywhere that this guy was the Doors managers. They all mention Bill Siddons as being the Doors manager.
He manages the Doors now and the estate and the estate of Jim Morrison and Pamela Courson and used to co manage with Danny Sugarman
There are no doors without Jim
I don’t think Jim wanted to be saved He must have begun to hate the rock star persona he had to live up to and the expectations of fans. All the while, he was a thoughtful and introspective intellectual who wanted to pursue his art and be taken seriously. I would imagine very few people knew the real Jim
I wonder if Jim Morrison blew those shows up on purpose so he wouldn't have to tour? Touring gets old, especially for addicts who must constantly hide and make excuses for their condition.
Hey there, MWE…excellent point, you very well may be on to something!
There was no hiding or making excuses for Morrison. He was fukhoused all the time in front of everybody and didn't care
I had no idea Janis laid with women. Now I like her even more.
Jeff Jampol has to come to terms that I am Jim Jr. I don’t want his money. I’ll make my money with shows and ticket sales @TheDoors
-Jim Morrison Jr.
-BulletHead
All my life I listened to boring guys. Fucking great musicians but boring men. Then I tuned-into Jim. Colliding with a 'legend' is a totally different trip 😂
It's funny how Jim made money off the band for like 5 years but all the other families and everybody else who wasn't even in the band or there or anything has been making money off of it for 50 years
Jim did DO alot of cocaine.
I love these videos. Love VH, love the Doobies….can’t stand The Doors. Lol. So much pretentious crap. But I’d love to see Ted Templeman and Don Landee interviewed here!
You're a dork
