  1. Kate is a witch. That song’s been in my head all day, a rare state of affairs and one which has been fairly unpleasant for me because I really don’t like The Doors. But someone emailed me the intro to Apocalypse Now two days ago for some reason, a movie I don’t much like either, but really it is a glorious intro, still I hope the ghost of Joseph Conrad stalks F.F. Coppola’s every nightmare….
    Kate’s a witch.
    “All the children are insane…”
    Shut up Jimbo. Narcotics derangement is not the same thing as artistic inspiration.

  2. His mojo wouldn’t be risin’ for quite some time. I mean, even if he weren’t a dead beatnik.

  3. “This Is The End, My Friend. The End.
    Florida closes the door on Jim Morrison’s penis.”
    Once again,the wittiest person in Delisle and probably the whole blogsphere thing writes a gem.

  4. Synchro…you bring the bat,I’ll bring the teeth,and blackmamba can bring the gravey.Party Redneck style :):)

  5. At the end of the Yahoo news article, there’s an inaccuracy… Charlie Crist isn’t exactly a Republican turned independent, he was a RINO widely shown in MSM with his arm around Obama who lost the Republican nomination for the recent Senatorial match in Florida, which was won convincingly by the Tea Party favorite, Marco Rubio.
    He turned independent, because the Republicans didn’t want him, the Democrat candidate refused to step down in the final weeks of the election so that it could have been a straight Rubio/Crist election, and Rubio won with just under 50% in the 3 way race. Crist refused to give back donated money (donated to him while he was running for the Republicans) and used that money to run as an independent.
    He will soon be unemployed. This is yet another example of “lame duck” governance. See also: “lame duck congress” ect…

  6. If Jim wasn’t circumcised before…
    syncro – no, I think you’re a toothless Neanderthal too…
    marc – from what I’ve made out Crist is universally loathed in the conservative blogoverse.
    And hey, if it’s living in my head, why shouldn’t it be living in yours?:

  7. Might not be the end. Not if that Toronto based Czech researcher (4 items previous to this one)digs up Morrison’s corpse (classic leftist maneuver – just ask Tommy Douglas), hooks up some electrodes, turns the remote to Showcase…

  8. syncro – I meant it in a nice way!
    I remember catching something on TV a few years ago where the remaining Doors members were playing stuff. Proclaims one of the wizened old hispters (more or less): “Hey, after this set I’m off for a smoke. And it’s not gonna be a tobacco cigarette, maaaan!”
    It was tragic.

  9. What a complete and utter waste of taxpayers’ money and government time! This does absolutely nothing. The man has been dead for decades! Who really cares what happened that night?

  10. I’m sure Jim Morrison really cares. I suspect he’s not in Muslim Heaven with all those virgins.

  11. Jimmy baby would get a Performing Arts medal and a federal grant for that these days.
    Like Mike in MD said, how much money got spent on this? A mediocre rock singer who’s been dead nearly forty years? (That’s a Holy Cr@p! moment for those of us who saw the Doors on Ed Sullivan.)
    Idiot politicians pulling a publicity stunt. Awesome use of resources Mr. Crist sir. That’s why you got BEAT, you w@nker!

  12. Thanks beagle. His sister noted that when he graduated from high school Jim asked for the complete works of Nietzsche (“God is dead”).
    Nietzsche is dead.
    Jim is dead.
    God rocks on forever.

  13. I saw his gravestone at “Le Cimitiere du Pere LaChaise” in Paris. There was nothing there about his p*&?*r.
    I’ll never forget that day. I got up before everyone else at the Hotel, specifically to go see the cemetery. It was a dark foggy April morning. You can’t believe the size of that place, the rows are numbered, just like a small city. I walked to the gravesite of French singer Edith Piaf. I startled a large black cat when I got near the grave. Scared the living Jesus out of me.
    All in all, twas a heat warming experience.

  14. Come on baby light my pyre. He didn’t care then, he certainly wouldn’t care now. Just another hollow act and a waste of taxpayer’s money. Beagle – only you would be interested in anyone’s crack, wise or not. Liked WalterF’s take on it all.

  15. YES, Black Mamba, Kate is deliciously deslisishly wicked. Yup, the best thread titler on the planet. Omigod, I was laughing even before getting the “door” thing. Jeesh, I’m dense alot.
    I’ve been meaning to say this for a while: if SDA were Opera, Black Mamba would make a terrific understudy to our diva Kate. I can’t be the only sda-ist who has marvelled at BM’s steady development here!
    Many years ago I visited Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris to see Proust’s tomb, saw Oscar’s, and the execrable Jim Morrison’s in passing. Always thought Morrison was a flat-out creep and phony.
    Please don’t ask me to summarize the Proust tomb-viewing experience. I’ll only say the tomb was shockingly modest.

  16. I saw the Doors in concert in Victoria,1967, pretty good show,though some numbers droned on a bit.
    For what it’s worth,a friend of mine was in the audience at that infamous Miami concert. He said Jim definitely whipped it out and waved it.

  17. Black Mamba, if you think The End is something of a downer that sticks in your head, try listening to The Guess Who and their imitation, Friends Of Mine. Enough to really bum you out.
    As a teen growing up at the time, The Doors were just another of a long list of rockers that shaped our music world. The “mysteries” of Jim, Jimmy, Janis, Paul, etc, just fed into our fertile minds.

  18. Kate:
    Re: P*#$%*r.
    A woman with a sense of humour, a high powered rifle and an F-150. Now that is what I like!

  19. How can you tell the boomers are now fully in charge? Only they would even care about stuff like this. Speaking of whipping it out, I had a boomer tell me the following and it sounds kinda stupid but here it is, “one time in the sixties man, I was so stoned and I had to go real bad, but I mistakenly whipped out a pubic hair instead of the unit and I pissed myself”. That story was unacceptable and should be deleted by SDA.
