 Jim
Morrison Alive? |
Blabbermouth reports: Launch Radio Networks
reports: No, it's not another rerun of the 1983 film "Eddie & the Cruisers"
� there's a new report that says late DOORS frontman Jim Morrison is alive.
Last night's (Friday, May 20) episode of the tabloid TV show "A Current
Affair" had a story that Morrison is alive and well, and living in the
Pacific Northwest. The show aired footage shot by a "cowboy filmmaker"
named Gerald Pitts, who said, "In 1998, Jim Morrison had showed up at our
rodeos, here in southern Oregon, and we discovered him living on a ranch,
raising show-quality Arabian horses and paint horses. And I shot some footage
of my friend...(and) Jim got in the motion picture film. One thing led
to another."[see full story for more]- Click

may remember that back in November of 2002, two people were shot backstage
