38 Years ago today…
Rock demon/angel Jim Morrison arrived in Paris to concentrate on writing and showing his recently completed independent film HWY. Unfortunately there was little interest in his “pet” film project and Morrison ultimately succumbed to his alcoholism/drug addictions. He died in Paris four months later on July 3, 1971. The cause of his death has never been officially confirmed, although many speculate the singer died of heroin overdose at his Paris apartment.
