Remembering Jim Morrison (December 8, 1943 - July 3, 1971)

It was on this day in Paris (July 3, 1971) that lead singer of the Doors (and Lizard King), Jim Morrison, passed away.  He's been a major icon of rock and roll ever since that day.  His grave in Paris is a tourist spot these days (even though they almost evicted him from that graveyard).

I read that biography of Jim Morrison called No One Here Gets Out Alive in 1981 and was influenced to pursue my own dreams.  Thanks, Jim!
