I was 13 yrs. old (I'm 63 now-in 2021) when Jim Morrison died in 1971, and my acquaintance and I were both quite surprised when we went to visit his gravesite and there were about 20 -30 teens, young adults, etc. sitting or standing near who were not BORN(yet) when he passed away! There were all speaking discreetly, being thoughtful and considerate of the visitors who came to "see" Jim. He's been "gone" for 50 years now. P.S.I wonder if people will still be visiting in 2071. Miss 'ya Jim!
I visited the cemetery years ago, probably in the late 90's when they didn't have the barriers around Morrison's grave. The Collected Works of Jim Morrison is out now and available on Amazon and I'm currently reading it. It has most, if not all, of his saved works that have been in a temperature-controlled vault for years.
Edith Piaf is also buried there. I was fortunate enough to visit Jim Morrison's grave when there were no lines, no barricades, no crowds, it was AMAZING!
You did a fantastic job on this video. These people are full of love and peace. And I think it's pretty dam cool that they want to express how they feel. The cops should go and well you know what I mean lol. He is frozen in time in all of our minds. Awesome work well done.
@@christostiger5425 If what you are saying is true? Then maybe his sister and brother should relocate Jim back to the states? And that would also be a good time if they wished to find out if that is really him. Sure would put the whole thing to rest.
Been there many times and to the apart where he died. Jim was gifted but he let us down. We're all searching for a direction and Jim helped. But he OD'd on heroin and left us for dead. :)
It's heartbreaking...gone so long now and such a waste. I wonder what he would think/write about the old and young fans alike coming to honor him. I wish I could go.
Was there Feb 1980 and April 1987... first time there was practically nothing on the grave - just a few sea shells a few flowers apart from my bunch I laid down and several roaches and graffiti for a radius of 100m... and I was sober too as was morning....1987 there was the bust of Jim although daubed with paint and lots of empty bottles drunk people like myself ... certainly was a big moment of my life to come here as in a pilgrimage. Would have been good if Rob Kreiger and John Densmore were there on the anniversary ....
When I visited I was alone too. Like in the whole cemetary! There was a nice bouquet of blue mums in a basket from his fan club in France. I walked there from my hotel Mercure next to the train station Lyon. A free day on a pilgrimage to France.
He had "cut" with his family and the cicumstances of his death, made it crucial for his friends to bury him quickly (to avoid more investigations i think)
They have gotten better about getting rid of the spray paint! I was there in the '80s and the area was totally defaced!! Someone even chipped the nose off of a marble bust of Jim that was on his grave.
Bonjour. J'ai 63 ans et j'écoute les Doors depuis 1972. J'ai été sur sa tombe en 1975, où j'y ai vu deux jeunes femmes très tranquilles, pas hystérique. Puis, j'y suis retourné, étant de passage à Paris en 1983. Là autour de la stèle, que des gens défoncés. Cela m'a dégouté, et encore aujourd'hui, tout le foin fait autour de Morrison m'emmerde comme, je le pense, cela l' aurait emmerdé. J'aime les Doors, quatre membres d'un groupe unique dans l'histoire, mais pas une idole. Donc, tout à fait d'accord avec vous. 🆓🍺

Same here...just turned 64. It was a sad day.
Morrison Is My Rock Idol
Me and the family visited last week on holiday... steady stream of visitors even now ✌️🇬🇧

Why do they have barriers now?

Jim Morrison is not dead. He, Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, own and operate a B&B on Gabriola Island, British Columbia.
You smoking that good shit out there in BC hey lol
Jim Morrison would be aged 78 now on December 8; 1943
Time surely flies by quick.

I spoke to a cop at the grave and apparently there is a non stop flow of addicts and criminals trying to sell ************

This is one of the coolest video on TH-cam. I always wanted to visit his grave.
legendary incarnation, that have been recycled back into the circle. but his soul lives on!
Jim had some great moments, but he abandoned us. Look at the Stones who are rocking in their 80s
Happy birthday Jim ❤️
Looks like they removed his bust. I wonder who is buried next to him?
I read that it was stolen. Too bad if it was-the grave isn't the same without it.
God bless you mister,. Break on through.

I love The Doors!!!!!!!!
R.I.P Jim Morrison!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome story there’s a lot of history at this place
Krieger and Manzarek were there for his 60th birthday celebration(acknowledgement)..
i was there
thanks a lot!!!
The grave is beautiful
That’s wild that they MET at jim Morrisons grave wowww
4:36 Always a lot of people there? I have been to his grave like 10 times, I have always been the only one there.
When I visited I was alone too. Like in the whole cemetary! There was a nice bouquet of blue mums in a basket from his fan club in France. I walked there from my hotel Mercure next to the train station Lyon. A free day on a pilgrimage to France.
Oliver Stone shoulda been there
Since he made a movie about Jim Morrison
Hope i get to go to Paris one day & see his grave in person
the thing about weed is... make sure COOL people are around you and not narcs
My country has the biggest cemetery in the world ( Iraq ) i’m not sure why I’m so proud of that
Funny, JM, father was a Military Navy officer for 30 years, and no one cares. 🤔
Ive been here twice
I still think it’s weird that he was buried in France. Why wasn’t he buried in the U.S.?
He had "cut" with his family and the cicumstances of his death, made it crucial for his friends to bury him quickly (to avoid more investigations i think)
Ciao jim , buon anniversario...sei sempre il numero 1
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🇫🇷

Jim Morrison is soooooo cool!
i will come on the 60th anniversary LOL
Me too.
Hes alive its james not jim that's a fake gravestone hes still alive hes a part of Q hes 78 hes still alive I work with him
I believe Morrison may still be alive but you work with him? Explain that
Rip Jim amens
Is it odd that you look like Anton Xander Lavey
Anton LaVey they headed to Santanic Church
I’m Canadian, and one day….. will make it! We aren’t allowed to leave yet lol ! Lol
don't hurry...it's only a grave and if you take a flight just for that you might get disapointed...
Rules are rules and laws are in placed for a reason. If it wasn’t for that the world would be chaotic.
Unjust rules cause more chaos than order
I'm a fan of the Doors, but anyone who sings in a cemetery is just a jerk. what do they want to prove?
It relieves tension.
I dont think there’s any malicious intent just people vibing in a place thats normally gloomy and depressing. Im sure Jim doesnt mind a little noise.
A lot of people sing in a cemetery😂 maybe not the doors but still
