Amazing. This is like seeing an interview with someone who spent time with a deity. The sixties were such a unique and incredible time of unsurpassed musical creativity and Jim was an artist of unsurpassed intellect, natural vocal abilities, dark poeticism,sense of theatre and ferocious beauty. Its hard to think of anyone who combined those qualities so effortlessly
@@tonytafoya6217 oh yeah ? You think I don't think I haven't felt what I said exactly as I said it ? You tell me why I'm wrong , or your comment is just one big platitude and you have merely wiped your ass on yourself. Show me another rock vocalist with the intellect, drama, poetry, beauty, insight ,originality, fearlessness, freedom of thought of Jim Morrison and then I will consider your comment other than what it truly appears to be, the words of ignorance.
This man is a great man, and an unbelievable painter/artist. It was my very great pleasure to make his acquaintance w/The Rattles, and hear about his time in Laurel Canyon with Jim & Pam. Miss you, Michael - hope you're well, brother!
I wish he would have asked him more about Jim as a person, but hearing these stories makes me realize that the four years of The Doors must have been a blur to Jim because of his drinking.
@@frankstephenson1746 You completely skipped over the first part, didn't ya Frank, where I said I wish he would have asked more about Jim _as a person_ (instead of just regaling us with wild stories about Jim).
Living with Jim must have been an exciting trip and such conversations I would have had deep conversations with him about history and such and a few drinks :-)
Brilliant anecdotes. I wish the interview lasted longer. In many parts of the Western world It often feels like we’re running out of cool places to hang out & enjoy each other’s company. I guess we’re on the cusp of meeting specifically in virtual spaces & hopefully that will liven scenes up a bit again, with augmented/virtual & mixed reality. Still, nothing beats an actual physical location from L.A, to Ibiza, to Goa & way out east. Poverty stricken countries often have the most poetic beauty because of the genuine degradation & how people learn to live despite the adversity. Life in those places is raw & vital & a world away from living life thru the screen on a phone.
True. I’ve been to Syria and been awestruck by the beauty of the simplicity. The way of life is more primitive than in western countries and it really captured me. I took photos and wrote about it. I found the experience to be eye opening and beautiful.
Living in those years, knowing the legendary Jim Morrison and being able to spend time with him…. it's all so wonderful and exciting❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️(why couldn't i live in those years ?)
Thanks for this. Just so great to hear real stories like this about our heros and legends. I would love to produce a film with these stories as the centerpiece - so many stories to tell!
THAT WAS COOL AS SHIT!!!!!! THAT DUDE TOLD THOSE STORIES JUST LIKE HE WAS TELLING THEM TO ONE OF HIS BUDDIES HE HAD KNOWN FOR YEARS AND HAD JUST SPRUNG THAT ON THEM OUT OF THE BLUE. HOLY CRAP THAT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE WITNESSED IN A WHILE!!!!GET A SERIES GOING AND DO A BUNCH MORE WITH THAT DUDE!
Yes!, I am 68 and was/is obsessed with Jim..I have spent decades trying to find out more about Pam.I have seen interviews with people in Paris who stated only because of statute of limitations could they talk. If you want more let me know here. But, if she was a junkie, how come more info does not turn up?. Her heroin dealer was also Marianne Faithfull's in Paris. He was the soon of the wealthiest family in France. That's how they got Jim buried so quickly 1 signature. The dealer fled to Morracco immediately after and od's 1 yeard later. Pam od'd in 1974 with 2 guys...I have the footage of all the interviews of the people at the Rock n' Roll Circus where Jim was carried out dead..put into the bathtub to look as a 'heart attack" story.
@@pitchamaikongchan6140 This was the time of the French Connection which had high grade heroin. I think Jim was at the Circus to score for Pam. Jim tried to snort some that could have been very pure and maybe the first time he did it. Bartender said Jim was really fucked up when he came in. I think this is close to what happened.
Friend Diane Gardner is quoted as saying in the book Break on Through by Riordan and Prochnicky, that Pam was one of the funniest people I ever met. She was beautiful, she looked like the Snow Queen and yet she did things like collect Lugers. She had a vicious sense of humor. She loved travel because she said you never had to think about it. When you were traveling and you were a tourist, you got up and life happened to you. I liked her. She was the most dangerous girl I ever met.
pitchamai kongchan You have footage of interviews of people at the Rock n’ Roll Circus? As someone who’s always been a huge fan of Jim Morrison and I’ve read a lot of books about his life, I’d be interested in seeing that! I didn’t know such evidence existed.
Does a photo of your exterior mural at Themis exist? I would love to see it! I absolutely love your stories of your time with Jim. Thanks so much for sharing!
Great stories. If you lived through those times and had the same life style as Morrison and friends (although perhaps not as extravagant) you probably have similar tales to tell. I know I do, although I'd be embarrassed to tell them at the age of 70. Not remembering due to excessive alcohol intake is all too common.
At least he can prove he met Jim and Pam because he has the two hippie group photos. He seems like a decent enough guy. But maybe he was heavy into Party scenes back then as a younger guy. One of the reasons Jim and Pam left LA for Paris was in order to escape from the hangers on in LA. But it didn’t work out very well.
It was a lot easier to hang out with rock musicians back then, but they're old now and people forget or mix up details in stories, so others are suspicious when they say they met Hendrix or whatever.
Wow!!! Fascinating..... Please share your stories, friends, like this kind fellow. He seems really friendly, lovely and cool. Would love to hang out with him! If you don’t share and you die (so sorry if this sounds insensitive - I do NOT mean it that way) but your stories and experiences die with you - and no one would know. Thank you for sharing this. He was stashed at “The Love Shack” and by the “Soul Kitchen”!!!! Wow. Just. Wow!!! ❤️✌️❤️ RIP, Jim!!! ❤️✌️💗
two funny quicidences with this video @ 2:11 his moustache looks exactly like the symbol from a defunct NBA team called the Cleveland Rebels which I was just looking at half an hour ago. #2: On his wall is what appears to be a monkee head which is funny because just yesterday as I was tearing down a shelf in the apartment I've lived for 17 years and I got a flashback memory from when I first moved in (2003) I put this head of a monkee clay figure on my wall and how this made the landlord and the painter laugh when they came to finish up fixing something as I was still moving in. #3 is it just me but does this guy not seem familiar like he's been in B movies. #4 must have been awesome to have been friends with Jim.
Yes, The Whisky has always been a venue for upcoming acts. You could get in as long as you paid. Back then though, the booths on the floor level were mostly reserved for record executives and celebrities. I'm not too sure about the second level tables.
Brian Young Yeah I’ve read the remaining members at the time did not agree with Stone’s adaptation. What about the movie do you not agree with? Was it mainly Val Kilmer or how Stone expressed discontent with some of the band members against Jim?
@@SoFLDawg Sadly, there will never be another “major” Doors Hollywood movie. Stone’s piece is a movie, not a documentary. It has many strong points. Btw Robbie served as a consultant for the film; it was mainly Ray who despised it.
@@jamescooper3571 You’re a lucky man James! I’m sure you’ve got some great stories that are not already included in this video. Lately I’ve been reading about Jim’s Mustang.

i read somewhere due to supposed similarities, jim had a jealous beef, or tension, with the singer of clear light, both them and the doors were bought by elektra records. i wonder if that was who this mans referring to, stealing jims moves. even so, 'night sounds loud' by clear light remains a super amazing psych rock song for the ages...
Great stories.However, if you're interviewing someone either mic them or lower your own voice.The interviewer is extremely loud and the interviewee is very quite.Watching this I had to turn the volume up and down constantly. Thanks for the upload though.
My ex wife wanted to start a business I bank rolled it .I lost a bundle everyone had fun except for me .sounds like Jim was paying everyone else was playing.

Why hasn't this guy written a book?! Sounds like he's got great stories!

@@pauli.vanili If he's about the same age as Jim, he's about 76.
But he still sounds young.
Fab stories and finally an interviewer how doesn't interrupt constantly and lets the guy tell the whole story!
he was interrupting to much for me
This guy is an amazing artist, I wish I had some of his prints. He apparently had a stroke a few years back, I hope he's doing well.
It's great to know who those people were in the famous Themis photographs! Thank you, Mr. B., for sharing your experiences with Jim and Pam :)
What a treasure to befriend that gentleman and get a chance to hear about his wild times around Jim and Pam!
I continue to gravitate to those crows… This guys is so interesting and I love your content

that's the funniest Jim Morrison story I've ever heard falling onto the table that is a goddamn classic😂😂
Great video , but it was common knowledge around the doors circle that Jim hated the crew from Themis. He thought they were junkie hangers on of Pam.
how Jim put up with Pam and her drugs etc. is beyond me, it was a crazy relationship
@@michaelsix9684 Which ultimately led to his death.
I love his energy. So intelligent.
What did he say that made him appear so Intelligent?
As much as I love hearing about Jim Morrison, I'd rather hear stories about Jimbo. Great video!

Hanging out with iconic legends. Awesome !
Reputation precedes them.
What a great interview. Thank you for sharing

hes passed id imagine
@@garyenwards1608 Seems he's still alive but had a stroke a few years back.
There probably were some rough moments hanging out with Morrison, but imagine the conversations you could have when Jim was in a good mood.
Pam was really good looking but she got the stupidest old lady hairdos
I think I would just be gratfull to enjoy the opportunity to create, possibly poetry or music.
Totally agree, Richard. Jim was quite a bit more than a drunk.
Majority of artists are not like their 'on stage' altar ego.
@@barryhansen1113 You can do that anyway. You don't need to be hanging out with anybody

Why?
@@mattiemclean9882 Why? Because he was close to Jim. I am sure there is a heartfelt story about it that he remembers very well.

I'm so glad I watched this. I'd really like to have a few cold ones and smoke a joint with this guy.

*hung around. He surely wasn't hanging anybody I hope.
I wish he remembered the name of the band that Jim hollered at.. ( Iggy?)
The band St John Green, most likely: ruclips.net/video/kLtcBb9eMcc/видео.html

Because they were alot alike, they even looked alot alike...
Jim is fascinating. Beside a few exceptions, other rock stars are not fascinating because they are not intellectuals.
