Oh, and I've noticed something. Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison, Jimi Hendrix, and Kurt Cobain all died at age 27, and the same things killed them.

eta: well, Kurt blew his brains out, but it was the drugs.

Re the bolded, I hate to tell you how late you are to this party. Well no I don't. The people who threw this party cleaned up the house, threw out all the party cups and moved to Florida to retire. And they died 10 years ago.

Re Morrison, I'd take him in any state over whiny emo boys or John Mayer ANY day. Sexy is on the inside not the outside. Also there was no autopsy on Jim Morrison, therefore no proof of what he died of (or if he died) and I don't discount the Courtney putting a hit on Kurt rumors either.

Yep. I wouldn't put anything past Kurt's wife either.

And for Jim Morrison, if sexy is just on the inside, then I wouldn't take him at all. I don't really get into the druggies/alcoholics. To me, sexy is both inside and out.

LOL

I don't do druggies or alcoholics, either, but that's par for the course in entertainment and Jim Morrison was definitely sexy.

I've seen Jim Morrison in interviews and he had a sexy voice too. Oh, and I thought Val Kilmer was perfect for the movie.

That was perfect. Val Kilmer used to be a cutie and then he got sloppy like Jim Morrison did.

I almost forgot all about that movie. I need to revisit it.

Jim Morrison got really sloppy. He even pulled his penis out once, while he was in concert.

Oh, and I loved Val in Top Gun and Real Genius.

That's what makes rock concerts the ultimate awesomenessnessnessness.

LOL. I think the purpose was to show how much Val Kilmer looked like Jim Morrison.


Ooooooooh when I clicked on this thread the ad was for The Who. The GC ad gods have spoken.

I know someone who was at that concert. Well, I used to know her - she was one of my brother's former girlfriends (in his pre-pastor days).

If you take all of the alcohol, drugs & sex appeal out of rock and roll, there's going to be a lot of bands singing, "Close to You".

OH MY GOD ARE YOU SERIOUS!?!?!

This happened much more than once. Wow.

This was 1969 - don't you think that it pushed the envelope further than it had been prior to this concert? The one person I knew who was there had said that much more of it was made than should have been, that it was something like 10 seconds out of an entire concert.


From Wikipedia:

"During a Doors concert on March 1, 1969, at the Dinner Key Auditorium in Miami, Florida, Morrison gave a controversial performance. The restless crowd was subjected to Morrison's lack of interest in singing songs that night, as well as to his unconventional emotional outbursts, screaming challenges to the audience, and making irreverent social statements. Unknown to the audience was Morrison's exposure to The Living Theater the week before, which influenced his performance. The confusion and taunts led to some out-of-control situations, such as Morrison allegedly exposing his penis, which resulted in an abrupt end to the show after only one hour.

At first the performance was simply seen as Morrison intoxicated beyond any saving grace, combined with his frustration over the trappings of rock stardom and his personal demons finally reaching a climax. But once a review of the show was reported in the local press on March 3, Morrison's exhibitionism took on a snowball effect in the form of a media and legal firestorm. On March 5, a warrant was issued for Morrison's arrest on charges of indecency and obscenity, and one after another all the subsequent shows were cancelled."
