I just got done reading "The Lizard King," which was all about Jim and his personal life, including stuff never before released. Great book by the way..

Anyways.

One interesting thing I remember was the last time he saw him mom.

When the Doors started to get really popular, Jim invited his parents, whom he hadn't seen for about 2 years, to a show near their hometown.

His father was always busy with his job, so his mom was the only one to show up. The two had sent a couple letters back and forth as Jim was on tour early on, but to be frank, they were nearly enemies.

So as Jim walks out on stage, he passes right by his mom, says nothing, and starts the show. And I'm sure all of you know his infamous lyrics in "The End," where he says,

"Father...../ Yes son?/ I want to kill you....
Mother.....I want to...FUCK YOU,"

Well, as he says this, he looks his mom directly in the eyes, with this evil look on his face.

The two never spoke again.

And that's why Jim's so fuggin' interesting. I would have loved the chance to pick at his brain. ~
