Jim Morrisons Grab auf dem Pariser Pre Lachaise Friedhof
Leonard Cohen berichtete, daß er Jim Morrison mehrmals getroffen hatte, aber nicht viel mit ihm sprach. Mit Nico besuchte er einmal ein Konzert von Jim Morrison.
Jim Morrison trat mit THE DOORS 1970 ebenso wie Leonard Cohen beim ISLE OF WIGHT-Festival. Nach diesem Konzert gab Morrison noch zwei Konzerte mit den Doors im selben Jahr. Danach zog er nach Paris und kehrte von dort nie wieder zurück. Am 3. Juli 1971 wurde er in Paris tot in der Badewanne aufgefunden.

„I remember going to one of Jim Morrison’s first concerts in America. It was very early on in their career, and I went with her. She asked me to leave without her because she wanted to stay behind. But I was a tough old bird by then. I was used to it.‘
The „She“ is Nico, from the VELVET UNDERGROUND
