NO ONE HERE GET'S OUT ALIVE by Jerry Hopkins and Daniel Sugerman

Finished Sa 5/31/14

Considering that Jim Morrison's career only lasted four or five years he made an unbelievable impression.

I was surprised that he had an IQ of 149 and he was a college graduate
Attended St. Petersburg College (Junior College) and transferred credits to Florida State University at Tallahassee. He attended the University of California at Los Angeles and Morrison completed his undergraduate degree at UCLA's film school within the Theater Arts department of the College of Fine Arts in 1965. He never went to the graduation ceremony, and had his diploma mailed to him.

It's widely believed that he died of an overdose of heroin, but no autopsy was performed.

This is questionable since it seems that booze played a much bigger part in his life than drugs.

He published poetry under his full name, James Douglas Morrison.

There wasn't much input from the other band members, and I wonder if in later years they have made their feelings known. Only Morrison did not have any connection to Transcendental Meditation. 

The book was written in 1980 and probably more has been uncovered since then.
