What To You Is The Ultimate Doors/Jim Morrison Collectible??
Lady DarkRose
I was just wondering what item(s) you all would consider the ULTIMATE
colletible. Not the average, run-of-the-mill stuff, but that one thing
you would KILL to have. The thing that you would SELL your SOUL to
possess.
For me, it would have to be ORIGINAL copies of "The Lords" and "The New
Creatures". Not the mass market releases, but the ones Jim had privately
published, that he gave to friends. I forget how many he had - 100 of
each, I think. Anyone have any clue how many still exist, and how much
they might be worth??

Kerry Humphries of the doors collector's magazine called me personally and had
a copy of jim's poetry book, signed by Jim, to his attorney Max Fink. The
cost, $4,000.
Lady DarkRose
Cool! I didn't know Kerry had anything of that calibre, although I know
he did have some of the gold record awards. Hmm... Where to get $4000

This may seem strange, but how about one of Jim's original snakeskin
outfits, including the belt...

Well, since everyone insists on believing that Jim's going to be moved out of
Pere Lachaise soon (he's not!), how about -- Jim? Depending on the state of
him by now, you could either bury him in your backyard and make your own little
shrine, or dress him up and pose him around your house. Could be a real
conversation peice at cocktail parties and family gatherings. I'd guess that
would be the real ULTIMATE collectible.
: )
Lady DarkRose
Well, THAT would certainly be interetsing! But at this point, I rather
doubt there is anything left of Jim. With no autopsy and no embalming,
there has been little standing between Jim and nature reclaiming him as
Her own.

I would be flattered if everyone concluded my leathers to be the
"be-all" ultimate collectible... Too bad Iggy Pop sold them out for
heroin {and they were later burned} While we are on the subject;
material was never my bag-however I did have some real groovy jewelry
pieces for a time... I wonder who ended up w/those...

A nice thought, in theory. However, it would only look, and maybe sound
like Jim. The clone wouldn't have Jim's experiences, which is what makes
our individual personalities unique.

That's a very good question and it's hard to only pick one. I would love to
have Jim's gold microphone. One thing I have always thought about is Jim's
ORIGINAL notebook poetry! The poetry he wrote as he sat up on the rooftop in
Venice in 1965. Ray's old VOX organ, Robby's guitar, and John's drum set.
And how about the bust that was stolen from Jim's grave a few years back?
I'd love to find the asshole or assholes who stole it and steal from
him/her/them! Hmmm, that's all I can think of about right now.

You can buy Jim's gold microphone for $15,000. Go to the doors collector's
magazine. John's drum set is in a rock & roll casino in Las Vegas. You also
shouldn't be so angry with the people who stole Jim's bust. I read that it was
stolen b/c of all the damage that was done to it. The people who stole it were
doing a service to Jim. That's what I read at least...
Sir Zeus
>I thought it was a '68?
I think Jim's mustang was a '69. Although, I could be wrong. And I'd love to
have that too. Even if it is totalled and undriveable. If that's the way Jim
left it, then that's the way it should be kept. :-)
Sir Zeus
Yeah I've already seen that DCM is selling the microphone for $15,000.
That's $15,000 I do not have! :-)
And yes you do have a point. I've seen pictures of it and there were parts
of it chipped off and ALOT of graffiti all over it. So maybe the people who
stole it were doing a service to Jim. But then again, they could have stolen
it just to have it.
PButler111
>You can buy Jim's gold microphone for $15,000.
"Jim's gold microphone" was not Jim's at all. Vince Treanor bought the
microphone because he thought it was really cool. Jim used it once or twice,
but that's it. It always belonged to Vince, never to Jim. It wasn't the kind
of thing Jim was into.

So Anonymous Person, let's say Kerry Humpherys never falsely advertised the
microphone as Jim Morrison's, do you still think he'd have the nerve to ask
$15,000 for it (which he hasn't gotten yet, by the way, so whether or not he
could "still get" it is moot).

there was a guy near my hometown who claimed he was visited by the Virgin
Mary....many people flocked to his house. If Kerry Humphry's claims it's Jim's

$50 if he claims it's Vince Treanor's microphone.

So Patricia, are you saying that Kerry is lieing?? I have nothing but
respect for him. Kerry says that Jim used the gold microphone at almost
every performance, regardless of what the movie said. So maybe Vince did buy
it for Jim, but nevertheless, it was Jim's. So I don't think you should go

This whole "golden microphone" story is a lot of nonsense. Do I think Kerry
Humpherys would lie about it to get $15,000? Let's see -- I had to hire a
lawyer because the guy stole work of mine to use on his website just because he
wanted to cause me problems. But lie to get $15,000? Nah! Couldn't happen!

I have no idea what Christy's did or didn't do. Why don't you discuss it with
Josh? He's the one that dragged Kerry Humpherys into this, not me. To be
quite honest, I don't give a shit what Kerry Humpherys does beyond my legal
problems with him. If you all want to believe that Jim used a "golden mike" in
every performance, do it. If you want to believe he slept with it under his
pillow every night, do that to. I really don't give a damn.

This is the first time you confirm this. I once got this info, tried to verify
if and never got an answer. How about an Australian lawyer? The article was
hosted in Australia. Kerry merely had a link to it. Which is strange by itself,
since when you want to comply and wipe it off your disk, why put up a link to an
(illegaly?) pusblished article?

Please don't call her that. That is not, was not, and shall not be her legally
recognized name. As you may recall they were married in a Celtic pagan wedding
and she recognizes herself that it was not legal and her name is not, was not,
and shall not be Morrison.
There is speculation that under an obscure state law Pam and Jim were considered
common-law husband/wife but they too were never legally married with the whole
license and crap. I won't venture to say that the wedding that Patricia and Jim
participated in wasn't important or meaningful or special but that is not here
last name.

Yes, it most certainly is her legal name. While Patricia used "Morrison" in
her personal life for years (since their handfasting in 1970), she DID have her
name legally changed in 1979. So, therefore it is her LEGAL name.

What's interesting is there is a cat in L.A. who goes by the name Cliff
Morrison (which also happens to be the name of a sports weathercaster here
in Austin TX) who does claim to be Jim's son. Would seem, since Jim never
married his mother (if indeed he is the father) the name would have to be
an affectation.
But I have found it interesting that, in re-reading some bio's on Jim,
namely, Break On Through, there were something like 20 paternity suits
filed agaisnt the man. 20! OK, so some of them may have been bogus, but
not all of them.
Have any of the mothers, and/or children in these suits ever considered
DNA tests and other means of proving their kinship in order to siphon off
a piece of that lucrative post-mortem pie?

Of *course* it is her legally recognized name! She had it legally
changed. She could call herself Patricia Kennealy Whatever-she-wanted, if
she had it changed legally. By the laws of the state, I suppose they were
not considered married, but who gives a fig about that, anyway :^) My
Beloved and I won't be "legally married" when we have our ceremony, but it
doesn't make it one bit less important, nor does it preclude me from

Yes, it *is* her last name, because she petitioned and had it changed.
And I support 110% her right to use it.
