my top 3 favorites are 1. crystal ship. 2 is not to touch the earth 3. the end. in fact i love all of their songs except for the title track from the soft parade album.
There are so many great ones, it's hard to pick. I was in a band that did Break on Through right into Roadhouse Blues. I sang and played harmonica, and the crowd always loved it. No keyboards, just guitar, but it sounded fat and the crowd always loved it.
My guess is that Jim Morrison died of medical malpractice. I say this because a week before his death he went to The American Hospital in Paris and was diagnosed with pneumonia, given antibiotics and cough medicine. According to his friend who was hanging out with him in Paris, Jim at that time was a chain smoker and continued to smoke and noticed he had a persistent cough and was not getting better. Rewind if you will to before going to Paris Jim had a fall where he fell from a roof or a wall and had sustained fractured ribs which can take 6 weeks to heal. He traveled the next day to Paris from LA. Over a few weeks period he developed a chronic cough and that lead him to go to the hospital in Paris. Now fast forward to Jim being found dead by Pam in the bath tub on the morning of July 3rd...she calls Jim's friend who arrives and they call the authorities in Paris and it is there that the local coroner arrives and pronounces Jim dead and he finds out that Jim is a famous American rock and roll star. It turns out the local coroner in Paris is also a practicing physician who is on duty as the coroner as doctors rotate as the local coroners in France. This coroner happens to be the partner of the doctor who diagnosed Jim with pneumonia at The American Hospital in Paris. In all likelihood the coroner knows that his partner screwed up Jim's diagnosis which was more than likely a pulmonary embolism and to protect his partner from a huge lawsuit for malpractice signs Jim's death certificate without an autopsy with the cause of death being cardiac arrest. Back in 1971 it wasn't easy to diagnose differences in a lot of different diagnoses since at that time there were no CT scans or MRI's just plain 2 dimensional x-rays. The doctor who signed his death certificate was never interviewed and has kept his silence over the years, but if you look into Jim's death all of this information is out there and I think it makes perfect sense that this was a medical malpractice cover up. One doctor covering up for another doctor's mistake. BTW blunt force trauma to the chest can cause a pulmonary embolism and it doesn't have to be an immediate onset and can come on gradually. Blood being coughed up, blood in his mouth when he was found dead. He had all of the telltale signs of a medical condition and not a drug overdose, drug abuse or alcoholism. Jim ignored his symptoms and figured he was going to get better and left it at that and never went for follow up care for the "pneumonia" that just wasn't getting better.
As a nurse. Here is my take how he died. He was coughing up blood. I feel he had a blood clot in his lungs that broke loose and traveled to his heart and killed him. End of discussion
