JIM MORRISON
A
vida do vocalista e líder da banda The Doors, Jim Morrison, terminou no dia 3 de julho de 1971 devido a “causas naturais”. O músico americano foi encontrado por volta das 5 horas da manhã pela namorada, Pamela Courson, dentro de uma banheira, com os braços apoiados nas laterais, cabeça pendida para trás e o cabelo molhado. O local da cena foi um apartamento em Paris, onde Morrison morava fazia alguns meses. O médico francês que examinou o corpo decretou que a causa da morte foi ataque cardíaco. James Douglas Morrison tinha 27 anos. É essa, pelo menos, a versão oficial, difundida pela imprensa e estampadas em biografias e filmes sobre Morrison e The Doors. Mas, desde o anúncio da morte do músico, começaram a surgir especulações, sugestões de complôs bizarros em torno do desaparecimento do polêmico astro do rock. Algumas dessas histórias fazem com que, muitos fãs questionem se Morrison realmente morreu do coração – ou se ele, de fato, morreu naquele verão em Paris
T
he Doors lançou nove álbuns de estúdio, sendo três destes após a morte de Jim Morrison. Além destes, a banda possui inúmeros singles, compilações e apresentações ao vivo. Canções da banda foram usadas em filmes como “The End” em Apocalypse Now e Knoflíkári, “Soul Kitchen” e “Love Her Madly” em Forrest Gump,assim como “Break On Through (To The Other Side)”, que aparece também em Soldado Anônimo,Gardens of Stonee Os Que Me Amam Tomarão O Trem, “People Are Strange”, que também aparece em Os Garotos Perdidose American Pop,e “Hello, I Love You”, que consta na trilha
sonora de Neighbors; “Touch Me” em Escola de Rock, “The Changeling” em Sans toit ni loi, “Riders on the Storm” em Rail Kingse Diário de um Adolescente, “Peace Frog” em The Waterboy, “Moonlight Drive”
The X-Files,Doidas Demaise True Believer.No entanto, grande parte da sua contribuição em bandas sonoras foi no filme sobre o grupo, The Doors, onde grande parte das canções são da sua autoria. Também já protagonizou uma única vez, um comercial, da Pirelli na Inglaterra, já que é política da banda, particularmente de Densmore, não ceder as canções da banda para campanhas publicitárias, tendo já inclusive recusado ofertas milionárias da Apple Inc. e Cadillac com a justificativa de ser antiético para o legado do grupo e para a memória de Jim Morrison.
