Quoting Alan Graham now makes you the complete rube. Jim Morrison
hated Alan Graham for many reasons, not the least of which was that
Alan used to beat Jim's sister. The family couldn't get rid of Graham
fast enough when Anne finally wised up and dumped his sorry ass. After
the popularity of the Doors movie, Graham tried to cash in on his
tenuous past relationship with the family by making what was meant to
be a series of videos on Jim's life, purporting to be one of Jim's best
friends even though, in reality, Jim couldn't stand to be near the man.
Luckily Graham screwed over several venders in the course of
funding/making/distributing the first silly video and he went to jail;
no further videos were made. He also tried to flog the sad, sad Cliff
Marsden as Jim's son, claiming that "the family" (of which Graham
hasn't been a member for decades) embraced Marsden as their own; the
family decidedly does not. Graham is a piece of shit on the lowest
order, an abuser, a liar, and a criminal. I'm not surprised he appeals
to you.

Those are some VERY harsh and nasty words about you, Alan (she has them
for everyone, youll get used to it). There have been many others
about you, all the way back to 1997 (when her booklet was published and
she first infected this newsgroup with her presence). In fact, its
impossible to mention your name here without Patricia Butler tearing
into you (funny how now that you are here in your own defense, she isnt
quite so rabid about that). Rather than quote them all here, just
search this group through Google and youll find them laid out in a row.
Here was another interesting exchange:

Ah, you mean how you "finish" it without any input from the subject,
without asking the subject any questions, and with an illegal tape
recording of a woman who said she wouldn't give any information
because the person on the phone -- who turned out to be illegally
taping her -- sounded so evasive and suspicious? Yes, your
journalistic integrity is just enough to make Murrow weep from the
beyond, Pfeff.
_____________________________________________________________
That's another major thing on Patricia Butler's resume: hypocrisy. In
that last paragraph, she is complaining about being "illegally taped"
(it appears that Kerry Humphreys from DCM recorded her phone
conversation and transcribed the interview or something), while on the
other hand, she just recently said in reply to you that she has a
recording of you harassing her on the phone (yes, I admit my curiosity
about her responses got the better of me after Alan showed up and I had
to see what she said back to him). If you did, in fact, call her at
any time, and if you didnt know she was recording you, then that would
of course make such recordings of you, by that exact same definition
she used several years ago, illegal (I dont think the laws have changed
in the meantime). Im sure we will all enjoy hearing Patricia produce
those recordings as proof of her harassment accusations against Alan
Graham.
So, what do you say in response to all of her angry words about you,
Alan?

Speak up, Patricia, youre kinda hard to hear tonight.
Considering that it usually takes her 3 minutes and 13 seconds to
respond to a posting at any given time of the day or night, thats a
very long pause for her.
>> Let the light shine forth, so to speak. The truth will come out in the

Indeed, and thats all that anyone should be after, beyond any petty
personal biases: the TRUTH, period. Sometimes you have to get a few
perspectives of an event, Rashomon style, and put them together to find
the "truth". Patricia Butler interviews one person over the phone, and
suddenly whatever they stated becomes a "fact", as long as it agrees
with the way she wants to portray the story (ie, Pam friendly). Butler
claims that some lady (also named "Pamela") accused Graham of beating
his wife (and that Morrison hated him because of it), and suddenly its
fact, he beat his wife and Morrison hated him, and this story was
repeated as such by MizScarlet yesterday in the Lizard Lounge, giving
Butler as the source for it (why is she a liar most of the time, but
credible in this instance). So, other than Patricia Butler's claims
(which she admits were stated to her secondhand from another source, as
seems to often be the case with her "facts"), does anyone have any real
evidence that Alan Graham beat Anne Morrison? Has Anne EVER stated it
directly to anyone? Does anyone deny that he was married to her from
(approximately) 1967-1987? And assuming that he did hit her, would
that automatically make him a liar when it comes to Morrison?
If youre going to make such incredibly vicious accusations about
someone, then you need to get some real evidence to back your word up.
I could state as a fact that Patricia Butler wears her brother's hand
me down combat boots and has a leather jockstrap with a battery
operated dildo attachment (from Acme), but that doesnt necessarily make
it the truth (then again the mental image does fit her abrasive verbal
style to a tee, hah). I think the real truth about her is much more
pathetic, apparently she was raised with the mentality that you can
bully your way through an argument if facts fail you, and as everyone
knows about bullies, they are almost always hiding major emotional
wounds inside there underneath the hatred, and their way of dealing
with it is to lash out blindly and pass some of their black karma off
onto other people. I guess she got that masculine side from her
brothers, the infamous Butler Boys. (lolol dave)
Thank you, Alan, for coming to the group, I welcome you, and I know
many others do too, even though they are maybe too timid to post and
get involved in the verbal brawls (and who can blame them, most of us
just want to talk about our love of The Doors). Once Butler manages
to muster up the courage to attempt to prove her VERY serious
accusations about you, this will be a fascinating thread indeed. Good
luck. :)

The wind blew and blew and blew and the weary traveler held on to his

It might be a good idea if some of the hags here took heed and followed
the sun's example instead of acting like the wind.
Bravo for Subterranean Cinema's good sense as demonstrated in his posts

This is a lot of big talk from a little man who (1) hasn't read my
book; (2) has spent several years doing nothing but talking to and
about me, including lying his ass off; (3) has claimed (for the 5983th

go completely ignore me, but is now, once again, doing nothing but
talking about me.

While I tried to speak with as many people as possible to gather
information for this book, there are those I did not interview.
Patricia Keneally felt she had said all she wanted to say on the
subject of Jim and Pamela in her book Strange Days. John Densmore had
also published a book, Riders on the Storm, about his life with The
Doors, while I felt rendered pursuit of him for an additional interview
redundant. I did not speak to anyone who demanded a list of questions
in advance (a request which usually means that the person is concerned
with squaring his or her story with others who may be asked the same
questions; I was not interested in a collaborative effort to rewrite
the past), nor did I speak to anyone who demanded cash payment in
exchange for their memories. For example, one woman (SC notes: Diane
Gardiner) who was said to have been a close friend of Pamela's
initially said she would talk to me only if I were willing to meet her
price. When she was told that is is my policy not to pay for
information, she said in that case these memories of her friend were
"just too painful to discuss".

You have been Bested, and must now leave the field.
The Coursons either dismissed or could not accept the theory that their
daughter had taken her own life, and they continued trying to make a
case for murder, naming at least one person they felt strongly could
have been the culprit, a theory that went nowhere. Jim's erstwhile
brother-in-law, Allan (sp?) Graham, a few years ago claimed that the
Coursons had tried to have him indicted for Pamela's murder at one
point because, Graham says, the week before Pamela died he had
threatened her life. As it is unclear why Graham, who seemed to have
been the object of nothing but Jim's contempt during his life, would
have had any contact at all with Pamela three years after Jim's death,
his claims regarding the Coursons' accusations appear to be baseless.
_____________________________________________
Just wanted to assure you that I am in fact reading your little book,
Patricia. Arent ya happy now?
Stories immediately began to spring up around the cause of Jim's death,
the most prevalent being that he had died of a drug overdose. "I
thought he OD'd", Mirandi Babitz recalls of her initial reaction to the
news of Jim's death. "It was like everybody was ODing at that point."
But there was no basis for this speculation beyond the fact that Jim
had been a rock star, and didnt all rock stars die in some exciting,
provocative way? No story seemed too far fetched for anyone to believe
(including the scurrilous rumor that Pamela had murdered Jim, to which
Siddons responded, "To me there was absolutely never one-thousandth of
a percentage of a chance that that was the case; she loved the man"),
no conspiracy theory too tangled to be assigned credibility. Yet no
matter how ridiculous the speculation became, the only story people
seemed quick to dismiss was the official version: that Jim, asthmatic
since childhood, had suffered a respiratory infection that triggered
his condition, leading to heart failure.
_________________________________________________
"No basis for the speculation beyond the fact that Jim was a rock star"
... sure, all of those people like Alain Ronay, Agnes Varda, Diane
Gardiner, Danny Sugerman, Jerry Hopkins (who mocks the "official
version" by exactly that same name in his Lizard King book), Marianne
Faithfull, who claimed he died of a drug overdose. "No basis for
speculation" at all, right Patricia? And that quote from Mirandi
Babitz, I wonder, does she still think Jim overdosed? You were kinda
vague about that for some reason.
Yeah, Im enjoying studying your book, little woman. That you can
count on.

meet her price. When she was told that is is my policy not to pay for

_______________________________________________
Isnt it true that you are referring to Gardiner in that statement? If
you say that she "was said to have been a close friend of Pamela's"
(ie, hinting that maybe the mystery woman wasnt really such friends
with her), then why is it that you state at the beginning of Chapter
16:
____________________________________________________
Bill Siddons doesnt remember seeing Pamela again for months after they
parted at the airport that night in 1971. "She came back and
disappeared," he says. With the help of her friend, publicist Diane
Gardiner, Pamela had done exactly that.
_____________________________________________________
Then you go on to describe how Diane and Pam hooked up with Ellen
Sander, right after her return from Paris. You also quote Diane
Gardiner, but once again you do it through a second hand source (named
Randy Ralston) on page 207.
So, Patricia, why is it that you failed to NAME the "one woman who was
said to have been close friend of Pamela's" in the afterword, a woman
who was by your own admissions on this newsgroup, Diane Gardiner.
However, in the actual story of the book, you readily admit that she
was Pamela's close friend, and then you go on to quote her alleged
words through a hearsay source, because you refused to pay her money
for a direct interview (and therefore she cant be believed). Do you
consider that solid journalism? Did you use anything BUT second hand
hearsay stories in your research? If someone tells you "I talked to
George Bush once and he told me that he molests his dogs out on the
ranch", would you consider that a solid quote and tell the world
"George Bush has admitted in the past that he molests collies"? Well,
that is exactly what you did in your "research", over and over and
over, and thats EXACTLY how you twisted the truth in this amusing
little booklet of yours.
Keep in mind that Patricia has also stated here that Diane is well
known for "stretching the truth" (though as usual she doesnt say who
else is supposed to know this about Diane besides her), and that her
attempt to get payment for an interview was further proof that her word
isnt believable, specifically her credibility in her statements to
Jerry Hopkins that Pamela told her that Jim overdosed on her heroin.
No mention of that quote in the book, because according to Butler,
Diane's word isnt credible on that count because she's only out for
money. No other explanation for why an admitted very close friend of
Pamela Courson (and the one who met her on returning from Paris) would
make up such a huge lie about Morrison overdosing on Pam's heroin.
Ditto Alain Ronay. Ditto Agnes Varda. According to Patricia Butler,
all of them are lying for money.
Here's a thought, Nothing: maybe if you try staying silent, reading
the entire thread, and catching up on what's going on BEFORE you jump
in with your irrelevant little trolling snipes, then maybe you could
contribute something to the discussion (yes dear, there is a topic
being discussed here, and its not me). Try taking your face out of
Butler's lap for half a minute and opening your eyes. And if you dont
want to talk about the thread's topic (which appears to be "Alan
Graham", who is also participating in the discussion), then kindly stop
being such a whiny, irrelevant little dyke and fuck off back to
Lurkerland where you belong.
thanks for your cooperation, dear.
Then listen up.
I thought you were going to ignore her!
I knew you couldnt do it. Everybody knew you couldnt do it. You never
have & you never will.
You keep talking about ignoring people you dont like, but you never do
ignore them. You threaten it over & over again, but you NEVER DO IT. Its
incredibly funny.

Now, if you want to comment on the things Ive posted regarding the
credibility of Alan Graham vs the credibility of Patricia Butler (which
is the topic on this particular thread), then Ill continue to read your
postings, and Ill even reply to you when you talk about interesting,
relevant things, and Ill do it in a polite manner as long as you do the
same. Otherwise, if you keep sniping at me over silly things like
this, then I will ignore you again. Im here to discuss Morrison
related issues and questions, and other than being a very devoted fan
who wants to know the truth, Im not a Morrison related issue. So lets
stick to the topics and stop sniping at each other, allright? If you

at all.
Back to talking about the real reason we're here.
Ooooo, I bet she LOVES the fact that you're quoting her copyrighted

Andrew Lee Morrison lives in Hawaii and comes back to San Diego about
twice a year to visit his parents. He rides his bike to the beach early
every morning and afternoon and often drops by to visit me and to
remember good times.
We go back to 1966 in London where I met and married his sister
Anna.Andy was 17 years old and we had only good times then, and all of
us including the The Admiral and his wife had no idea that Jim was
famous.
We remember Jim and always with deep affection even though we discuss
his warts we always leave each other with fond memories rekindled.
We discussed the trial in the Doors lawsuit and he said that Ray had
turned out to be grubby slimy slug who just wanted to make the money
Robbie just wanted the band to play and had gone along, and that john
is the one who turned out to have the most integrity of them all.
The Morrisons had reluctantly gone along to support John and to try to
preseve the original image of Jim but Ray brought an aged English
rocker who now makes the band look like the "Munsters" (my metaphor).
In 1980 Bill Graham music promoter and owner of 'Winterland' wanted to
exploit the commercial aspects of the doors image so he offered the
Estate a deal to produce Elvis-like mass merchandizing, belts, lamp
shades, glowing velvet paintings, gaudy shit that would have made
Liberace run away screaming. Ray was jumping up and down like a monkey
on crack and when Pams father (who was executor of the estate at the
time) said no to the offer.
(God bless him) Ray was pissed. Ray has always wanted to exploit the
Door's and I am compelled to say that any serious buisnessman would
give the same advice, which is to "exploit the product to it's maximun
potential" If you regard it as a buisness that is.
I was banned from the lizzard lounge for being dis-respectful to Jim,
Let us compare the two.

I met with Oliver Stone who had read some of the stories I have told
here and had seen "Morrison the Rock Opera" and wanted me to meet Val
Kilmer which I did for a couple of days and told him some of the same
stories,
Kilmer is now a great actor (Tombestone ect.) and he was a very good
actor back then but not in this Movie.Val played the onstage dramatic
version of Jim, but Stone had him play the same character all the time,
a sort of bad B movie, over-the-top drunken poet, who spoke to
everyone as if he was reciting poetry,.very bad poetry.I think Stone
gave us a gruesome "Pagent Faded" and compounded the insipid NOHGOA
image of Jim which prevails today.
Kilmer complained to me that Stone Lived in the "Vietnam Flashback" and
was a bit disturbed by him,.He also complained about working on one
song for three months with Paul Rothchild who i am sure was just
running up the meter on Stones dime.
I hated the fucking movie and walked out on it twice even the music was
somehow ruined and Val ended up looking like the lead character in a
musical version of "Weekend at Bernies"

Subject: Larry Flynt and the Holy Grail.

Larry Flynt and the Lizard King.
Althea Flynt,wife of Larry Flynt owner and publisher of
Hustler Magazine was obsessed with Jim Morrison and had seen the MTV
news piece on Anna and I concerning "Morrison the Rock Opera" in which
we said we were looking for a co-producer. I was in Westlake Village
hospital recovering from a massive kidney stone operation, when I got a
call from Anna who said that someone from Larry Flynt"s office had
called and wanted to talk about co-producing the project.
I returned his call when I was near a state of toxicity from the
demerol pain shots, we talked and somehow managed to agree that we
should meet at his penthouse office in Century City. Two days later I
limped to the meeting with an 8 inch inscision in my left kidney and
still heavily medicated.
When I arrived Larry was even more medicated than I,way,way more than I
was or could ever be. We talked mostly about him and the first
amendment and it was the fastest and most fasinating two hours i have
ever spent in my. The battery of lawyers who worked for him constantly
bombarded him with legal questions for the many lawsuits aimed at him,
he answered every one without needing to look at a law book and still
managed keep the meeting going. He gave me a check for $10.000. to
write a treatment for a movie script and he had David Kahn one of the
lawyers draw up a contract and asked me to bring it back when Anna and
I came to dinner at the mansion next week.
We went to the mansion for dinner and we met Althea who wore punk
clothing of the time, her hair was the clor of magenta and she was
wearing more metal than a Harley Davidson. She introduced us to Dennis(
Easy Rider) Hopper, and Terry ("The Magic Christian") Southern, and
wanted them to write a script from the treatment we had brought to the
meeting. it was a most bizzare dinner and Flynt announced that he was
running for President on the Republican ticket and that he would
challenge Ronald Reagan, so the house was filled with the local ,tne
National and international press, plus many celebrities including,Dick
Gregory, Robin Williams,Timothy Leary, Gordon Liddy,Russel Means,
leader of the American Indian Movement.Larry Woods CNN news anchor and
a whole merry-go-round of characters.
Larry adored Anna ( who coul'nt?) we had many dinners at the mansion
after that and lots of bizzare experiences. my meeting turned in to a
year long ride to hell and back.
Shortly after our first meeting the F.B.I stormed the mansion and took
Larry into custody for not giving up his source on the in the John
Delorean case, he spent the next year in federal prison in Springfield
Missouri and I spent the same time picketing the Prison and his court
appearences with a gang of near-do-wells and hired hookers for effect.
The part about the Wardens Daughter joining us on the picket line will
have to wait until the next chapter of our Tale.

There's some convoluted logic for you.
You mean the book that you still haven't managed to read yet talk about
endlessly? Yes, that's the one.
Shall we revisit your many posts ranting on and on about me being in
league with the Coursons in which the only "fact" you presented was

Yeah, thats quite a trick Ive apparently come up with, being able to
transcribe exact passages from your little booklet word for word
without actually reading it. lol ...
Now, about these recordings that you claim to have, of Alan Graham
harassing you over the phone ...
There are many fine and FREE programs that can easily make wav or mp3
recordings from a microphone or, even better, a line input (no outside
noise interference). It's quite simple to plug a tape machine into
your computer and make a sound file, and even someone who has never
done it before can learn how to do it with a little effort. It seems
to me that if Butler actually had these recordings, she would want to
jump at the opportunity to publicly prove that Alan Graham is lying by
playing a snippet of him on the phone, using a phony "spanish accent"
and harassing. That could only prove her charges and make her look
truthful, right?
She purports to be the "expert" here for this silly little book of
hers, but when pressed to back up her bullshit with proof, she prefers
to whine about irrelevant things, like me daring to post a notice on
another thread about Pink Floyd reuniting. She's a coward, looking
desperately for a way to change the subject from her libelous
statements about Alan Graham, statements which she has no true proof
of. She is a pathological liar creating new lies to cover the old
ones.
Has anybody heard from Mizz Butler, she has promised to produce tapes
of threatening phone calls by me to her.

No one is claiming to KNOW you, Alan (we have all been lucky enough to
escape that particular torture), nor do I remember any of us claiming
to have known Jim "intimately," although Leon and certainly Salli could
legitimately make such a claim.
Until you started posting on the LL I knew you by reputation only, and
have never claimed otherwise.
Salli, OTOH, not only knows you by reputation, she remembers your late
brother-in-law referring to you in rather derogatory terms ("scumbag"
is one of the the words she remembers him using). She also remembers
the telephone conversation she had with you about 10 years ago. She'd
called you--at Danny Sugerman's request--to question you about items
you were advertising as having belonged to Jim. In return for her
questions she got one of your frothing death threats--something about
siccing your "Italian" friends on her, to which she remembers
responding with "Italians" of her own. (In fact you're acquainted with
one of her Italian friends; maybe you should try threatening HIM and
see what happens.)
And IIRC, it was YOU who first remembered meeting Leon, not vice-versa.
He merely confirmed that encounter--and corrected your error as to its
location, while tweaking you (gently, as is his manner) regarding the
subject of the screenplay you were trying to peddle at the time.
You responded by hailing him as "old friend," I believe, and only
turned on your erstwhile old friend after he voiced his dismay at the
tone of your "black eyes" story.
Dearie me but you are a fickle fellow, Mr. Graham, and I wonder if you
really want to make the claim that you yourself knew Jim "intimately?"
I fucked up. I went & killfiled the bitch, now I can't read what she's
saying. Better let her back in on my end, so I can see what's going on.
Someone clue me in on what she's said so far.

"Fickle" is the perfect word! When I was researching the book, Graham
somehow got it into his head that I was going to be doing some kind of
rip piece on Pamela. So he calls me up and tells me what a skank Pam
was, and how he -- for a price! -- can give me a lengthy interview full
of all kinds of nasty information about Pamela. When I informed him
that I as writing a straight bio, NOT a rip piece on Pamela, the change
in Graham was instantaneous! *Without skipping a beat* he started
talking about what a sweet, wonderful girl Pamela was, and what a
tragedy her death was, and how -- for a price! -- he could give ma
lengthy interview full of all kinds of heartwarming information about
Pamela. It wasn't long after I told him to go fuck himself that the
threatening calls started. "Scumbag" indeed!

Don, you've been doing it for years. You were quoting passages of the
book here before you even had the book in your hands. Are you now
saying you were lying all those years and had actually read the book?
In short, were you lying then, or are you lying now?

What about them?
Why in the world would I go through all that trouble? You and I both
know that even if I did that -- and I would be insane to jump through
that hoop for you -- you'd immediately declare it a fraud. So what's
the point?
Shall we revisit those "Jim's death" threads where you suddenly started
pointing and screaming, "Hey, look over there!" then running like a

Al
This seems to be the case with most of Butler's "research", the
majority of which was apparently done over the telephone ... she didnt
actually talk to the person being quoted, but she knows someone who did
and she got the story from them, so in her eyes thats as good as
getting it from the person directly, and so she puts quotes around it
and makes it look as it the person actually said it.
Witness her second hand quotes of the "unreliable" Diane Gardiner
(which were told to her by Randy Ralston because Gardiner wanted money
for an interview, which then made her a liar in Butler's eyes):
___________________________________________
"Pamela really knew she wanted to die at the same age of twenty-seven
the way Jim died," Diane told Randy, "So we all knew that this was what
she wanted to do. We knew she was going to go home and overdose and
commit suicide, and thats just the way it was." Randy had been
distraught, but, he said, "Diane was so calm about it that she calmed
me down."
Diane's initial explanation to Randy didnt fit very well with the story
John Mandell had told the police, though Mandell himself later gave a
somewhat rearranged version of his original statement to the medical
examiner. Gardiner, too, later recanted her story, telling Randy
rather inexplicably, "Oh, darling, I just had to tell you that."
_______________________________________________
Kinda sounds like she's trying to make Diane Gardiner seem a little
cold and heartless in the first paragraph, and a liar who "recanted her
story" in the second. Butler seems to hold a grudge against anyone who
asked her for money to be interviewed.
This is her method of finding a "fact": someone says "one time Tom
Cruise told me that he is secretly gay", and she reports it publicly as
"Tom Cruise has admitted in the past that he is secretly gay". What a
worm.
Personally, I hope you sue the fucking bitch, Alan. If what she's said
about you hasnt crossed the line into libel, then I dont know what
would. She's literally accused you of being a wife beater and a
criminal without any true evidence beyond claims of alleged telephone
hearsay. That goes quite a bit beyond your average chatroom insults
flung at various anonymous screennames, this was more like a deliberate
attempt on the part of Patricia Butler to smear your name publicly and
attach the label "wife abuser" to it (and judging from the way the
Lizard Lounge people blindly propagated the story, it worked). She
really doesnt know when to shut the fuck up for her own good. Maybe
its time she learned a lesson the hard way. I hope you teach it to
her. Good luck!

MAYBE YOU SHOULD HAVE TALKED WITH EVE BABITZ FOR FREE:
Jim as a sex object lasted for about two years. In fact, once he and
Pamela became entangled in their fantastic killing struggle – once he
finally found someone who, when he said, "Let's drive over this cliff,"
actually would – he became more of a death object than a sex symbol. Which
was even sexier.
When Pamela Courson met Jim, he began putting his money where his mouth
was. Whereas all he had previously brought to the moment was morbid
romantic excess, he now had someone looking at him and saying, "Well, are
you going to drive off this cliff, or what?" She was someone with red hair
and a heart embroidered on her pants over the place her anus would be. He
was a back doorman, and Pamela was the door.
Pamela was the cool one. Everything a nerd could possibly wish to be,
Pamela was. She had guns, took heroin, and was fearless in every
situation. Socially she didn't care, emotionally she was shock proof, and
as for her eating disorders – her idea of the diet to be on while Jim was
in Miami going to court was ten days of heroin. Every time she woke up she
did some, so she just sort of slept through her fast. When she did wake
up, she went with some friends to the Beverly Hills Hotel to see Ahmet
Eregun and fainted. Viola, there she was back at UCLA, diagnosed as dying
of malnutrition.
Good old Pamela, what a sport. She would take Jim's favorite vest and
write fag in giant letters on the back in India ink. She would
go through Rodeo Drive's Yves Saint Laurent Rive Gauche, piling her arms
higher and higher with more stuff, muttering under her breath, "He owes it
to me, he owes it to me, he owes it to
me."
Pamela was mean and she was cool. She liked to scare people. Pamela had
control over Jim in real life. He made his audiences suffer for that. And
I mean, he was so cute, you would. Pamela looked sunny and sweet and cute
– she had freckles and red hair and the greenest eyes and just the country
girl glow. It was hard to believe her purse was stuffed with Thorazine
(that horrible drug they used to give acid freak outs). She wore mauve and
large, soft, expensive suede boots
and large shawls, but even her laugh her was mean.
She was so mean, she told Ray Manzarek that Jim's last words were, "Pam,
are you out there?" even though he actually left a note. And she knew that
the note would establish forever the literature movie myth of Jim's Lizard
King image. ***Everyone hated Pam except Jim.***
A friend of mine once said, "You can say anything about a woman a man
marries, but I'll tell you one thing – it's always his mother." "Mother,"
sang Jim, "I want to….aggghhh." Pamela was more
than happy to supply the lip back: "Oh, you would, would you? Well, fuck
you!"
You bet, I love Holy Grail and Life of Brian.
"... and what do you burn apart from witches?"
"MORE WITCHES!!!"
"Crucifixion?"
"Ehh, no, freedom."
"How's that?"
"They said I hadnt done anything wrong, so I can go free."
"Ahh ... well, jolly good, off you go then."
"Nahh, just kidding ... crucifixion."
"Ahh hehe, very clever ... well then, out the door, line on the left
..."
"Pamela had control over Jim in real life," journalist Eve Babitz once
wrote. "He made his audiences suffer for that". (ADAD, pg 138)
Eve Babitz once wrote, "If you're allergic to strawberries and you eat
them, you break out in hives. If Jim drank scotch, he broke out in
fuckups". If that were true, then Miami was proving to be a near
fatal attack. (ADAD, pg 145)

The bad thing is that we dont even need to apply this lesson in order to
recognise that there is a lot of first-hand information which has been
offered about Morrison that has not been truthful. It isnt enough to say
that it was first-hand information, & therefore it must be true. If you
have first-hand sources that dont stand up to scrutiny, then how can you
believe anything at all?

You dont think that charging for an interview makes the person seem

least bit suspicious? If you have two people willing to tell you about
something that they experienced, who are you more inclined to believe -

there IS something going on there that is suspicious & dishonest. Do you

subject is, you just whine about my postings in general (and yes, whine
is the accurate word for it). Im only "going on" as I find more
relevant things in her book to post about the current controversy over
Alan Graham. She wanted me to read her book, demanded it, and now
she's paying the price as I am reading it. If you dont care about the
argument, or if it offends you to see us being mean to poor innocent
little Patricia Butler, then dont read the stuff. It's that simple.

I dont know what her motive is, youd have to ask her, she might even
answer you back. The fact is, she DID smear his name publicly, with
hearsay information. Is she showing any evidence, besides this
alleged phone call statement from some woman, to prove that the man
abused his wife? No, because she has none, and to make the statement
as a FACT on such thin evidence is unacceptable.
Im off to bed now, dear, so you mull all of that over alone, and as
long as you continue to speak politely to me, Ill return it to you when
Im back online tomorrow. Good night.
Heres what youve got. You have Patricia saying that the phone call
happened. You now have Alan Graham saying the phone call did not happen.
If you want them to discuss it more, all you are going to get is
Patricia saying (as she already has), this is what happened & Alan
saying (as he already has), this never happened. The dialogue has, in
short, exhausted itself.

But where's the proof?? Alan's got my vote. I believe him when he says
he never spoke with PB. He's been saying that for awhile now, long before
he came on this NG.
Why wouldn't he charge her? Its his time. Why should he give her
information for a book when he owes her nothing?? Especially since he was
working on his own story. Charging someone means nothing. Are you going
to say he was never married to Jim's sister for 20 years and maybe knows
what he's talking about? He has 3 children who are Jim's nieces/nephews.
Blood relation. His kids' grandparents are Jim's parents. I'd say that
is a pretty damn close relationship. Whether Jim liked him or not is
incidental.
You all seem to put Jim on a pedestal. By the way he treated his parents,
what makes you think he's a good guy, Nothing??? He didn't like his
parents, either, supposedly.
Since Butler has no firsthand proof - like a jail transcription or Anne's
word about beating (and BTW, Jim hit a few women in his time, so there
goes that black kettle again), her word means zip, nadda, nothing.
You ask why PB smears Alan? WHO DOESN'T SHE SMEAR? Jealousy. He knows
more than she thinks she does and she can't stand that. People on the
sidelines often behave vindictively. Why is she so swarmy to people here
she doesn't even know? Because like the playground bully she has to make
her presence known. Sadly, she never learned how to interact with others
in a mature, respectful manner. PB has written HORRIBLE words to Link,
who happens to have been a dear friend of Jim's and who doesn't lord it
over anyone. She is pure of heart and yet she gets it kicked by PB every
chance PB can get to denigrate Link's memories. Ive read PBs archived
posts to Link and they are not pretty.
The fact that Alan is challenging her and she seems to have made herself
scarce around here is good enough proof for me that she cannot back up her
nefarious accusations. She has gone too far this time: this is not a
back and forth debate this is drive-by yelling with the intent to hurt and
humiliate. Big accusations like hers are potential powder kegs and may
blow up in her face. And even I dont want to see that happen to her.
I disagree. I think it brings up a lot of issues involving credibility &
motive. The fact that Alan Graham would grant Patricia an interview if
she paid him for it leads me to think that he only wants to tell his
"story" if he can exchange it for money. That, to me, is suspicious.
Once you start saying, "Ill tell you what I know, but its going to cost
you", to me, that brings up the suspicion that maybe the monetary value
of the story is more important than the story itself, or that the person
has questionable motives. It even makes me think that the person
charging for information may be inclined to lie. (Better story = more
money.) How does it matter if he was working on his own story? Does he
not want to get his stories mixed up? Patricia talked to plenty of
people who had written about Morrison. As far as your "its his time"
comment, hes on a fucking newsgroup begging to tell his story, but he
somehow didnt have the time to talk to Patricia? Give me a break. If he
really wants to talk about his experiences w/Morrison or the Morrison
family (as he has stated here) & is interested in & excited about
sharing this information w/people, then why did he want to charge
Patricia for it? I think youre wrong. I think charging for an interview
DOES mean something.

Id say it was a close relationship w/Jim's sister & Jim's
neices/nephews. I dont know what his relationship w/Jim was like, or if
he even had much of a relationship w/Jim. It seems apparent that Jim
didnt like the guy. Even you just said Jim didnt like him. It is my
understanding that Jim wasnt altogether fond of his parents for a large
portion of his life, & that he didnt spend a lot of time w/them or have
a really close, personal relationship w/them. If Im wrong, just say so.
Its just what I have gathered from what I have read over the years.
Based on this, I find it difficult to believe that a guy married to
Jim's sister who Jim didnt like could share very much information about
Jim. So I dont care very much at all about this Graham fellow. If he
says something interesting, Ill be here to read it. Until then, I dont
see why hes exceptionally special.

What makes you think I think hes a "good guy"? What do you mean by "good
guy"? What does this have to do w/Graham charging Butler for an
interview?

OTOH, if this guy really DID beat Jim's sister & engage in the other
alleged behaviour, do you really think he would admit it?

Jealousy? Thats your theory? Shes jealous of what Graham knows? What
could he know that would make her jealous? She has plenty of people who
were much better connected to Morrison & know a hell of a lot more about
him than I imagine Graham could know who DID talk to her at length. This
theory of yours doesnt make sense to me. Please explain more, if you
dont mind.

A lot of people are nasty on online discussion groups w/people they dont
know. If youve been to a handful of them, you would know that Patricia
is not the only one who can behave in a rude manner.

Nothing V
Remaining neutral in concluding either way.... doesn't it seem that
perhaps some people might have felt that since she was going to produce
something to hopefully succeed in making her money, that they wanted
their "piece of the pie' without it being especially suspicious. Not
that that is necessarily virtuous OR wicked....just a perspective.
Might have seemed "fair" in some minds that she not be the only one to
benefit monetarily when they were contributing the "bricks" to her
building. Just a thought.
I question your objectivity and call on you to read her other post to
other people long before I came here, and then tell me she is
believable.

I have no idea what you're talking about, and you CLEARLY have no idea
what you're talking about. If anyone can be said to slur their speech
in print, you're doing it now. Are you drunk, or high, or just
generally fucked up?

Does ANYONE know what the fuck you're talking about, or even who the
fuck you're talking about, or to, half the time? You post private
emails -- which is usenet no-no even real assholes like on and Dave
generally don't violate -- and go on long rants calling people --
though no one can tell who at any given moment -- names and making
vague comments about things that might be clear to you but certainly
aren't to anyone else. If you want to make sense, I'm sure someone
would be glad to talk to you. In fact Don will snog you all night long
right now if you'd like. But until you get some control of yourself
and start making sense -- in under 5000 words a shot, please -- you're
just wasting everyone's time and bandwidth.
No, Don, "as weak as evidence gets" would be claiming -- as you have
done and are doing now -- that something has been "proven" to be false
because you say so. Yet again, Don, that's not proof -- that's just
you really, really wanting to believe. As for the story you're
referencing above, what are you talking about?

Yes, that must be it. It couldn't be that I accurately reported a
story as it was told to me.

I did that? Really? Show me where. Or is this your "method of finding
a 'fact': you just make it up and post it on usenet, so it must be
true?

Yes, good luck, Alan. You'd really need it.
Really? What are those ways? Because I'm fascinated to hear more
about how a bunch of people on usenet who've never talked to Alan
Graham in their lives is going to "debate if it's actually him or not."
Don, you get more ridiculous by the minute with this shit.
At least then there would be proof of a recording, in

Yes, I believe I "went silent" by directly answering your question
about it.

I "disappeared" because I didn't post a response within the hour? Are
you serious? Are you truly so completely addicted to this place that
you never leave it for ten minutes together, so that it seems if
someone else does they've "left"? I don't believe there's been a 24
hours period when I haven't posted here in recent memory. Prove me
wrong.
There were two people who wanted money -- Graham and Gardiner.
Gardiner was willing to share if the price was high enough but, with
zero dollars, said her memories were "too painful." Get that? Money
takes away the pain -- no money, too much pain. Graham didn't just
want money, he wanted a percentage of the book. Not only that, he was
willing to go in either direction I wanted him to -- trash Pam
completely, or praise Pam completely -- for the right price. Does that
suggest credibility to you?
