It’s sad how he died in Paris. Many years ago in 2000 I found his grave in Père Lachaise Cemetery and it was guarded by security at the time as it had been vandalised by fans which has always baffled me.

It's part of his enigma, his death in Paris and much as it was a sad loss it cemented his rock and roll legend. Jim Morrison and the Doors are my favourite musicians. I have an eclectic taste in music though and am always on the look out for great new bands. So wonderful that you visited his grave. The time I went there, and was in Paris last, was ages ago and it did not have the security it has today. Absolutely the desecration is unacceptable, but has been happening for many years, a bust of Jim's head was actually stolen from there too. Good to read your message 🙏.

Stay safe and warm brother. 🧡

I actually traveled there alone, as at the time I’d broken up with my then girlfriend and was a bit aloof to say in the least. We used to listen to the Doors for hours, my brother and I along with other people from the village where we lived. We were just as intoxicated as the great band themselves. Mad memories.

So my visit to his grave was something of a pilgrimage.
