The Worley Gig

Break On Through

On This Date in 1971: Jim Morrison, legendary singer and lyricist for The Doors – and enduring sex symbol – was found dead in the bathtub of his apartment in Paris, apparently of heart failure. He was 27 years old. Also on this date in 1969: Brian Jones, former guitarist for The Rolling Stones was found dead in his swimming pool in Hartfield, England. He was 27 years old. For decades Jones’ death was ruled to be an accidental drowning, but the recent biopic, Stoned (which features great performances and excessive nudity – two thumbs up) shows an alternate version of his demise, based on the deathbed confession of his killer. I don’t want to spoil it for you, so be sure to add Stoned to your Netflix Queue or pick it up on Amazon.com for mere pennies.
