What would Jim Morrison be doing these days if he were still alive?

[Virginia Dare]

could you picture him in a spiffy suit belting out Sinatra standards? Dude had a voice.

[Ikonoklast]

1. Screaming, "GET ME OUTTA THIS COFFIN!!"

Sorry.

[Virginia Dare]

4. No one here gets out alive!!!...n/t

[Aristus]

2. Actually he had pretty much lost his voice by the time he recorded "L.A. Woman".

He was just shoutin' the blues by then. It sounded good in a bluesy sort of way. But the smooth baritone that fueled The Doors' best psychedelic music was no more.

Today, he'd probably be attending AA meetings, getting in trouble with the law, publishing a volume of poetry once in a while (maybe even on a blog) and, in his own words: "Putting out a blues album every year or two" with The Doors.

3. Probably crystal meth

Or Courtney Love.

[Deja Q]

6. I wanted to say that!

:cry:

[skygazer]

7. Great minds think alike!

:hug:

[Ewellian]

5. Dancing with the Stars? nt

[Virginia Dare]

11. That would be HOT!!!

hopefully he'd wear his leather pants, and not much else, oh, wait he'd be about 60 something now wouldn't he? That's the good thing with dying young and leaving a beautiful corpse!

Welcome to DU!!!:smoke:

[Richard Steele]

8. "Reunion tour" with the Bay City Rollers.

Actually, that might be kinda AWESOME, now that I think about it.

[Writer]

9. Investment banking and spending his free time driving his Volvo.

:eyes:

[johnnie]

10. Pulling the worms from his bones

Or doin' Vegas

[skyblue]

12. Looking at himself in the mirror

Not a fan. Sorry but he seemed like he was full of himself. Don't like the vocals.

[Virginia Dare]

13. He was his generation's Eddie Vedder...n/t

[skyblue]

14. Actually I know some assholes who were into Jim Morrison.

Maybe that's why I don't know. Tho' I still say it's the vocals. The attitude. etc.

[rakeeb]

30. Eddie Vedder?

I just couldn't see Jim Morrison working as a PA at whatever would be considered rock's biggest corporation of his day.
No dig on Vedder, he had talent, just don't see Jim taking what anyone would consider a suckup job on his way to his first album.

[Lautremont]

15. Lying back in a bathtub in Paris, vomiting continuously like a chunderfountain.

[TK421]

16. more drugs n/t

[MrScorpio]

17. Pissed off at the Dutch Government for ruining his magic mushroom business

Thinking outside the box

[fudge stripe cookays]

18. Exposing himself onstage, still.

Only now it wouldn't be considered racy or sexy. Just creepy.

[carly denise pt deux]

19. He would be living somewhere in the south of france

with miss pamela, dropping out of the spotlight, trying to live a somewhat normal life.

[Gold Metal Flake]

20. He'd be down at the Mayo getting a stent.

He'd also be taking a suppliment to keep him regular.

Edit: stint? Stent? I don't know.

[Cetacea]

21. Funny thing about Morrison and Sinatra...

When once asked who he listened to, Morrison replied "After Sinatra, who is there to listen to?"

You can hear the influence in songs like "Moonlight Drive". He had quite the voice.

[Blue-Jay]

22. Fry cook.

[LostInAnomie]

23. I can't imagine a scenario where he is still alive.

Something was bound to kill him.

[Dr. Strange]

25. That's it.

He was always pushing the boundaries, living on the edge. He wouldn't have made it past 30.

[TheBaldyMan]

24. Heroin n/t

[martymar64]

26. An appearance on VH1 Storytellers

He'll talk about his his flagging career was saved by his casting as Hannibal Lector in silence of the Lambs, the role that won him an Oscar. He then won a second Oscar for his amazing performance in Leaving Las Vegas. He used his refound fame to go on tour with Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr, which played to sold out shows on 4 continents.

[Snarkturian Clone]

27. He would have been in Bret Michaels' place on that

reality show. Dead people often get glorified. If he or john lennon or james dean or marilyn monroe were still alive, they would be has beens and living jokes.

[WinkyDink]

28. Trying to remember his name.

[bridgit]

29. prolly waiting for a liver transplant...

[liberaltrucker]

31. Shooting smack

I love his music, but once an addict, always an addict.

I know from whence I speak.

:(

[Zookeeper]

32. He'd be doing infomercials for "The Groovy Sounds of the...

60's" CD collection. At 3:00 a.m. on the cable channels.

[opiate69]

33. Six shows a week at the Flamingo in Vegas

[rakeeb]

34. if I may rant about obvious Jim ripoffs:

Ian Astbury
Glen Danzig

and in the other church, to a lesser degree, Jim Morrisey.

[mitchum]

35. Telling Ray Manzarek to shut up
