Jim Morrison "Shaman"

[jbarry]

I was recollecting Jim Morrison the late rock star's story as he tells it when he was a young boy driving across country with his family came across a car accident in Arizona(?) with people spilled out along the road side and he says that he locked eyes with an old indian Shaman that at that moment passed away and his spirit entered him. This had a big effect on his life after that as he headed towards stardom. Most likely he died from his excesses although recently its been said that he did not die in the bathtub he was found but at a nearby club, what else do we not know. Here is a conspiracy theory for you, his father was an Admiral in the US Navy and Jim was considered an embarrassment and estranged from his family during the Vietnam war, a time when the US had alot of conservative people.Jim liked to push buttons on people and probably was not well liked by them. France was where he died, some people have suggested Princess Diana may have had a similar problem.

I doubt that Jim Morrison was a shaman, and this reads like an Urban Myth

I think his name was lizard king, this was 30? years ago mentioned in the book, "No one gets out of here alive"? At that time most people did not know what a shaman was.

here is an interesting link.
