It's been downplayed for years...but basically Jim was a mean drunk. Pretty sure he was a nice, reasonable guy when he wasn't though
-
When you are drunk all the time life can go downhill.
-
His only problem is that he became famous. He would have lived a happy life if he was unknown. You hang out with your friends you can be honest as well as laugh your asses off. You make it and all these people want to be with you and you start to feel lonely among so many people that are not on the same page.

If you live long enough you'll go through hard times. Better younger than older.

Your dad starting Vietnam is a hard cross to bear in the counterculture. Poor Jim doomed early. RIP
-
I lol’d at Jim throwing the telephone Andy Warhol gave him out the window. The thought of that beautiful piece of furniture breaking into pieces on the road outside the limousine really sort of sums up Jim.

What has always amazed me is in spite of Morrison's self destruction, he and the band managed to make some of the greatest, most innovative music in rock history.
-
The song The End still enlightens me
-
Actually, The first track on the 'Waiting For the Sun' LP - "Hello, I Love You" - was a previously written track from Jim's 1965 era, as well. After that album, however, the band composed each album, thereafter, of all new original material from there (Soft Parade through LA Woman LPs). Also, Jim would have turned 25 in late 1968, not 24. Jim's birthdate is 12-8-43.

Jim Morrison was a rock God. Awesome video.
-
This dude was fucking insane, absolute legend
-
Would love to see day in the life videos of each Beatles throughout 1966!
-
He died in the bathroom of rock ‘n’ roll Circus in Paris and was putting in the bathtub the change of time to death.
-
Jim was an often misunderstood genius...
-
Very interesting, great video as usual. I wonder if there’s more to why he wouldn’t speak to his mom or younger brother. The dad and even mom I could see, but who ignores their younger bro? Strange family in strange times

The part where his dad didn't put down his newspaper reminds me of my father when I showed him my first little book, a volume on Aleister Crowley. Not quite as bad, but my mother said "Don't you want to see your son's book?" He put down the paper, flicked quickly through it, said 'Very good, son", and resumed reading the news as my mom rolled her eyes and sighed, as if to say how typical of him.

I knew most of this, but not every exact detail. Great job! I have always said I think Jim’s relationship with his parents is why he was so broken. Don’t get me wrong. The Doors are my all time favorite band and Jim is one of my favorite people ever, favorite singer over Frank, Elvis, Sting, everyone. Rest in peace Jim and your Rest in peace to his awesome parents. I have 100 percent respect for his father. He was equally as unwavering as Jim was a performer. Maybe we have the elder Morrison to thank for all of us never tiring of the Jim Morrison mystique.

Great video

The ole lovely family pictures on the mental with big smiles meanwhile Jim looks like he’s in a straight jacket.

Your narration/voice and editing is great as always, but going a little deeper in the research would improve a video like this. All Doors fans have heard all of this before. And also, Robby Krieger wrote the music/melodies and often the majority of the lyrics of some of their biggest hits, Like Light My Fire, Love Me Two Times, and Love Her Madly.
