I never was a fan of "The Doors," even in the very beginning. Yeah, I'm that old. Kathleen Riddell, a Morrison scholar, just posted an item on grubstreet.ca, about TIM, which is 3 July '07, in Paris. It's attracted a lot of attention. Still, I'm not sure I get Morrison, but I find the photographs, here and elsewhere, of the grave site, most compelling. Morrison is a complex icon. Riddell has two other Morrison posting on grubstreet.ca, http://grubstreet.ca/articles/katieriddell/iconjim+time2006.htm and http://grubstreet.ca/articles/katieriddell/morrisonmeetsrimbaud2006.htm Again, these items get a lot of attention, but I just can't get it. In this one case, it ain't my age. Must be my mind. Keep posting, and I'll get it, eventually, I hope. Seems I'm missing something big. Thanks for letting me vent.

Riddell has two other Morrison posting on grubstreet.ca,

Again, these items get a lot of attention, but I just can’t get it. In this one case, it ain’t my age. Must be my mind.

Keep posting, and I’ll get it, eventually, I hope. Seems I’m missing something big.

Thanks for letting me vent.

Jim Morrison's grave was talked about in hushed tones throughout the course of the trip. I never went (not really a fan), but the others who did talked about it in almost romantic terms. They tried to make out that it was very daring as it was surrounded by various dodgy types who could 'pull a knife' at any moment. The things you believe when you are 16. However, seeing the graves of Keats and Shelley in Rome three years ago was a big thrill. It was in such an serene spot in Rome - which is quite an achievement. And they had no tacky memorabilia spoiling the quiet contemplation. I remember going to Paris when I was in my late teens.
