Jim Morrison Died Forty Years ago today

actually that isn't completely true, he died in the bathroom of the rock and roll circus a day or two earlier of a heroin overdose, and was snuck out of  the club a la "Weekend at Bernie's" style and then brought into his apartment and left in the bathtub.  The owner or manager of the Rock and Roll circus confessed years later to have seen him dead in the toilet.  The person who had sold Jim the pink Chinese heroin that was especially deadly in the summer of 1971 leading to many overdoses, did his absolute best to cover this up.  Selling the lethal dose earlier to Janis Joplin and many others was one thing, but this was just too much.  Had Jim Morrison not become such a drunk and ruined that life, he would still be living today and would be a great poet.
