"4907 N. 28th St. Rhonda Baron, an Arlington-based marketer of etiquette DVDs whose mother still lives in this house, says in the ‘70s she occupied the singer's former bedroom. Her evidence is backed by former neighbor Alan Weimer, who recalls coming home from Yorktown High School in the late ‘60s and seeing the long-haired Morrison sitting on the home's front stoop. Perhaps the most astonishing sign of his impact is Baron's tale of experiencing on three occasions the restless spirit of Morrison in her room-real enough, she told me, to leave a dent in the mattress."

Better yet, how is that possible when he died in 1971?

Um, Jim was visiting his parents, perhaps?

Which would be BS anyway. Morrison totally disowned his family before he got famous, even telling the press that his parents were dead.

When the doors of perception were cleansed the Doors would appear to man as they are...shitty.

He was an asshole, typical early generation crazy put him on a pedestal he's a fuckin god bull thinking. Another one was that 70s icon John Belushi. You baby boomers are so lame in your idea of genius and talent.

Fuck Jim Morrison. Fuck the American Poet. Fuck the Lizard King.

He was a dope addled dipshit with little going. Death immortalized him, I wish he had lived and maybe he and the Doors would have faded into obscurity.

I never knew the Morrison parents lived in North Arlington. I think they used to live over by TC Williams before it opened but I forget. I've met enough hippie losers who claim to have known him in HS or from Alexandria.

Overrated jackoff.

Jim Morrison was a fuckin sick degenerate chronic masturbating moron. My parents and the older generation have alot of balls to criticize the present music scene when they butt worshipped a douched scumbag like this piece of rat shit. Good old rock/roll music, yea, get fucked needle dick!!

How long until Zach and the Ghost Adventures crew show up,,,

Wow, I guess I'll just call myself out and say I kind of like the Doors. Not Morrison, so much, as the band.

When will he break on through to the other side?

I try not to listen to alot of classic rock, but yeah, I love The Doors albums. Probably some of my favorite records of that era.

Morrison was one of the first true rock stars. Sure, he was a weird drugged-up self-destructive asshole with a socially-unacceptable, rebellious persona. But that's what real rock and roll is all about. Jim set the high-bar when it comes to fucked-up rock and roll lifestyles.

Agree. I actually tried to convince myself I didn't like the Doors, but there are so many good songs. The End, Riders on the Storm, Crystal Ships, Backdoor Man, etc. A bunch I didn't like, too, but that's also true of rock.

The Doors were brilliant, especially given what they were doing in the 60s. Even to this day their sound is unique.

Yea like burning in hell. Ironic though that skinny pussifed punk won't have to sing "Light my Fire" down there. The Dave Clarke Five was a better group then the Doors.

Ray Manzarek rules and you guitar hero ipod fags have zero, as in se-ro, talent

He was no Bruce Hornsby, that's for sure.

Does the ghost have a huge fro like Morrison did? (Ghost Fro)

Nice North Arlington neighborhood just up the street from Yorktown HS.I never knew that Morrison ever lived there.

Hopefully now a buses packed of patchouli reaking fuckheads will show up for candle light vigils and seances and make the stupid cunt who claimed to "feel the spirit" regret ever opening her trap.

Maybe they will scrawl "We miss you Jim" and other dumbshit on the wall like at Graceland.

lol, since when were The Doors a big hippy band? I don't ever remember the "jam band" kids being huge Doors fans. I know alot of the early garage rock/proto-punk bands like The Stooges and MC5 were sorta influenced by Morrison, but I never heard them lumped in with the folky Grateful Dead crap.

Never a "jam" band, but they were really popular with the LSD dropping set back in the late 70's and early 80's. I met a lot of people in those days who absolutely worshipped Morrison as a "genius", I liked tunes like WASP, Hello, I Love You, No One Here Gets Out Alive but never took to the extended poetry reads or tunes like Crystal Ship, Light My Fire, The End, Riders on the Storm.


I could see the garage types being influenced by Morrisons stage antics, but musically they are a lot different and I'll give Manzarek his due, a lot more talented. Manzarek was a good keyboardist.

All the pussy that freak show could get and he's out on the stage "Jerking off", was they some kind of highly evolved spiritual message that his fans could understand and relate to. Like Hendricks setting his guitar ablaze. I don't get it.

Correction: IS a good keyboardist.

And he has a sense of humor; he did this song with Wierd Al Yankovich about a year ago. Basically a Doors tribute, and Wierd Al is awesome as a Morrison wannabe:

Whoa

Jim Morrison was a great poet. If you're too illiterate or unimaginative to understand the things he talked about, don't blame him.

American Prayer is an excellent album and his poetry describes a lot of things that were going on back then. He had an excellent understanding of the english language, far above and beyond what many people have today.

The Doors were never a "Hippy" band. They were just the opposite. The Doors songs were very dark and dealt a lot with sex, war, death and what might happen beyond or at the moment of death. They were about pushing your imagination beyond the doors of perception and offering viewpoints other than the typical bippity bop pop songs of the day.

Jim Morrison and the Doors were unique and all were very talented, especially when compared to todays offerings.

Poppycock!! Jim Morrison couldn't make a pimple on the ass of a good poet. His lyrics were dull, uninspiring, and unimaginative. What helped the Doors was their music, the beat and syncopated rhythm was fair but primative in execution by today's standards. That lunatic was a sick necromaniac who capitalized on the Mahayana and maharashi malarkey that existed at the time.

I definitely hear a Doors influence in the first 2 Stooges records. Sure, it's different music, but they were admittedly influenced by them at the start. Iggy saw a Doors concert when he was in his late teens and was inspired to start a band. MC5 was also lumped in with that scene. They were anti-hippy, actually. Sure, they shared the same passion for drugs as hippies, but they were counter-counterculture. They didn't want peace and love. They wanted to fuckin party like crazed rock and roll madmen. Thanks, Jim.

Meeper and Numbers sound like wannabe scribes for Spin or Rolling Stone. Yeah, WTF maybe they were influential, if they motivated Iggy Pop I guess its worth suffering through "The End", "Touch Me" and "Light My Fire". I read a couple of the Morrison bios years ago and came away liking the guy a lot less. Don't remember exactly why, just never thought him brilliant.

Surely not an awful band, the "poetic brilliance" of Morrison is something I miss totally and if Morrison was counter-counter culture, he sure did a pretty good job of posthumously becoming worshipped instead of being regarded as what he was, just another fucked up rocker.

Dude strikes me as pretentious and narcissistic.

Take these two versions of the same song and tell me this guy wasn't kind of a pompous queer.

I like the first version-


Cool ass keyboards and I am not sure if its a real bassline or Manzarek on a Fender Piano Bass.

Second version is one of those "sensitive" readings, sounds like something William Shatner would do.

I never said Morrison was a brilliant or genius "poet", that's not why I like The Doors. Morrison led a great, original rock band.

So Morrison was an asshole, so what? I still like the Doors. Poetry slams aren't my thing, but good music's good music, and I like the psychadelic sound they had.

I'm sure there are other musicians I listen to who are assholes in real life. Lots, actually. That's part of what made them rock stars in the first place. Whatever, it's not like I have to have Morrison hanging around my house drinking all my beer to listen to his band.

Morrison was a product of his time. It was the era of such classics as "My Mother the Car, I'm Dickens, he's Fenster, The Brady Bunch, Petticoat Junction and Gilligan's Island". Don't blame the music, it was just an odd time in Pop culture history.

not a fan of rock musico

As far as I know, he never lived in Arlington. He lived in a house off West Braddock Road in the City of Alexandria. He attended George Washington High School in Alexandria (now George Washington Middle School).

Did John Phillips of Mama's and Papa's fame, who also went to same high school as Jim Morrison know him?

David Lynch, director of Eraserhead, also attended George Washingto H.s. for a time although i think he's a tad younger than John Phillips and Jim Morrison

Well said!

Should have put well said, That's Good

You're right on Numbers()

The Doors..not complete without the frontman. Jim,theres a little bit of jim in all of us, He was a great rock singer hands down.also a great blues singer.I liked the poetry, maybe someday when we catch up to jim we can understand it better.i guess you had to be there in the twinkleing of an eye ,or a rising sun,or stare deeply into a black starry night,or listen to a thunder storm so deeply .that true poetry oozes from our pores.Jim Morrison gave us a choice, like it ,or leave it! he never begged people to buy it,,it sold on its own. thats why he was so damn cool

I had heard of Jim Morrison before, but knew little else other than he was a singer from way before my time. Read up on him, and he seemed like a very eclectic person. Fun facts;

Went to same middle school as two members of The Mamas and the Pappas.

Was a voracious reader, and especially enjoyed reading 16th century English texts on demonology.
