Launch Radio Networks reports: No, it's not another rerun of the 1983 film "Eddie & the Cruisers" — there's a new report that says late DOORS frontman Jim Morrison is alive. Last night's (Friday, May 20) episode of the tabloid TV show "A Current Affair" had a story that Morrison is alive and well, and living in the Pacific Northwest. The show aired footage shot by a "cowboy filmmaker" named Gerald Pitts, who said, "In 1998, Jim Morrison had showed up at our rodeos, here in southern Oregon, and we discovered him living on a ranch, raising show-quality Arabian horses and paint horses. And I shot some footage of my friend...(and) Jim got in the motion picture film. One thing led to another."

Also featured on the show is Cherri Woods, who owns the building in Hollywood where Morrison lived before he moved to Paris. Woods, who gives tours of and rents out the property, also sells the Pitts film. She claims to have spoken to Morrison, and she told the show, "I was given Jim's telephone number and address and the alias that the FBI gave him that he's been living under. I have all of the information. Pages and pages of notes, of information I have verified that has shown me that (the video) in fact is Jim Morrison."

There's more "evidence" to the story, but you'll have to watch "A Current Affair" to see it. The show is syndicated, so check your local listings for the time and channel in your area.

It should be noted that there's been no comment from Morrison's bandmates on the story. Previously, keyboardist Ray Manzarek told Launch that he was sick and tired of all the sensationalizing, which comes at the expense of Morrison's true legacy: "Certainly we wouldn't want to — we wouldn't want to talk about the art of Jim Morrison or the poetry of Jim Morrison, would we?"

they say that it's him, but it's most probably some guy who looks like him. Unless I see those photos for myself, I fail to believe this.

Definitely? You saying he would look exactly the same now as he did 35 years ago in 1970?

Personally I feel this is the same kind of thing as that shrink in the Kansas City area a few years back who claimed to be treating Elvis....a Cleveland TV station got in touch with the guy, and got DNA samples.

3 of them. One was known Elvis DNA from a biopsy procedure he had done in the early 70s, another was authentic DNA from his "corpse" and the third was DNA from the guy who was claiming to be Elvis in 2000.

Guess what the results were?

The DNA samples were from 3 different people!

So if it really is JimBob Morrison, give up the DNA and let's see....

As I said above though, if I were to go ONLY by that photo of "Cowboy Jim", nobody in their right mind could positively state it is NOT him....35 years can change someone's appearance at least THAT much...

If he was the REAL Jim Morrison, do you think he would pose for a picture like that one, complete with slogan on the bottom stating who he is, after faking his own death and hiding for 35 years?

Think about it.

Oh, and I`m sure Bruce Lee served me up Egg fried rice in my local chinky the other night.

Doesn`t look much like he used to but I`m sure it was him.

If that's him then he should go back in hiding, no one needs to see that.

The Doors are fucking amazing though, they're my favorite band besides Van Halen.

Unless the fucking travesty of the "Doors 21st Century" pissed him off enough to come out of hiding?

That's the only reason at all I'd be willing to humor the idea...lmao

Believe me, I'd love Morrison to be alive. But he's dead. The very fact that his partner was grieving for three years (truly grieving) and died of a drug overdose three years later is proof enough.

He's dead. And that idiot doesn't look anything like him. Plus, if Morrison were still alive, he'd be fat...

Yep, he'd probably be pushing 300 by now.

That whole 'Jim is alive' thing was cooked up by Danny Sugarman and Jerry Hopkins to sell a few more copies of No One Here Gets Out Alive. French officials who handled the body and inquiry have gone on record as saying Jim is, in fact, dead. Ray used to play around with the Jim's alive myth in interviews for a while, but finally stopped trying to imply that a while ago.

Why would the FBI help Jim relocate and fake his own death? He wasn't a government witness or anything like that.

Nah. Doors were a great band, but Jim died in the bathtub.

I will say this though....

As fucked up as the world is today, it would not surprise me one bit if Hendrix, Joplin & Morrison were silenced by various (or a single) government agency from some country....

Andy Kaufman has gone on record lately that the BCE is directly responsible for all faked celebrity deaths. You should start a campaign to prove him right. I hear he's helping Howard Dean write his speeches lately, so maybe you can get the Democratic Underground.loons to get an interview with him?
