one of the last known shots of Jim [with Pam on the left[ at the doorway of their holiday apartment Paris 1971 Join us today in remembering Jim.  “Jim Morrison was one of our great poets and unique performers. His body of work will always endure.” - Patti Smith “It was the way to stand at the mic – the stance and the grab. He hung on the stand. Nobody else did that.” - Iggy Pop “It is hard to believe that there was a better poet than Jim, at his age.” - Michael McClure  “The guy was a genius, and I don’t throw that word around very often… He was a risk taker, fearless.” - Alice Cooper More than five decades later, Jim’s work has continued to live on. The records he made with The Doors are still finding new ears, and his poetry has been passed to the new generation. He brought a poet’s perspective to rock and roll and shattered notions of what it meant to be a rock star. Rest in peace, Jim.
