1. There is a misconception that Jim was anti- Vietnam which he was not

"While he was part of the 1960s generation that did not believe in war, he did not align himself with the political hippie movement's typical anti-war, pro-violence activism".

I've been a huge Doors fan since 1979 (I even left a cork from a bottle of wine with a note I wrote to him on his grave in Paris, he died on my 9th birthday) and have read a lot about him over the years.

I have 2 musician bumper stickers on my car...Pink Floyd and The Doors. I'm a huge fan!

His family lived in San Diego, CA. I think his sister still does.
