L'UMP de Paris veut rendre hommage à Jim Morrison
Le groupe au Conseil de Paris a soumis au vote un texte prévoyant de baptiser une place ou un bâtiment public au nom du chanteur des Doors, qui aurait eu 70 ans le 8 décembre.
Le Conseil de Paris, à l’initiative du groupe UMP, votera lundi ou mardi pour le principe de dédier un lieu, place ou équipement public, à la mémoire du musicien Jim Morrison qui a vécu et est mort à Paris en 1971, a-t-on appris vendredi. Les élus UMP soumettront au Conseil un «vœu» en ce sens, auquel l’exécutif socialiste «répondra favorablement», a dit à l’AFP Bruno Julliard, adjoint du maire Bertrand Delanoë chargé de la culture, saluant «une bonne initiative».
Le cofondateur et chanteur des Doors, mort à Paris le 3 juillet 1971 à l’âge de 27 ans, est enterré au cimetière du Père-Lachaise, où sa tombe est devenue un lieu de pèlerinage pour ses fans du monde entier. Mais aucun lieu ne porte son nom, font remarquer les cosignataires du «vœu», proposant «qu’un espace public parisien, place ou rue, établissement culturel, soit dédié à la mémoire de Jim Morrison», d’après le texte transmis à la presse.
Le «vœu», à l’initiative du conseiller de Paris Jérôme Dubus (UMP), insiste sur «la carrière exceptionnelle» de l’artiste américain, «chanteur, cinéaste, poète», à la tête d’un groupe parmi «les plus marquants de l’histoire du rock», et évoque aussi «son engagement contre la guerre du Vietnam». Il rappelle que Morrison, qui aurait eu 70 ans le 8 décembre, a vécu dans le quartier du Marais, au «17 rue Beautreillis»(IVe).
Pour Jérôme Dubus, «c’est étonnant» qu’aucun lieu dans la capitale ne porte encore le nom Morrison «étant donné son lien particulier avec Paris». L’élu UMP a fait remarquer que certains dans son groupe s’étaient demandé si un tel artiste «mérite d’être commémoré ainsi». «Certes il a eu une vie assez controversée notamment à cause de ses addictions […], mais c’est quelqu’un qui a marqué et il n’y en a pas tant que ça dans le monde du rock», a-t-il ajouté.
Un équipement public tel une bibliothèque ou un conservatoire de musique pourrait à terme prendre le nom de Morrison, selon Bruno Julliard, qui ne cache pas que la mesure pourrait prendre du temps. Pour de tels hommages à des grandes figures artistiques, «on a cinq ou six vœux chaque mois au Conseil de Paris», a dit l’élu PS.«Comme on ne débaptise pas de rues, dans le cas d’équipements publics cela peut aboutir plus vite.»
L’adjoint à la culture a cité les précédents de la bibliothèque Aimé-Césaire (inaugurée en 2010 dans le XIVe arrondissement) ou du centre musical Barbara (2008, XVIIIe). Autre exemple récent : Alain Bashung, mort en 2009, a son square depuis 2012 dans le XVIIIe arrondissement, où il a vécu.

The summer of 1965....Jim Morrison was taking a film class and Robbie Freeman was taking a photography class at UCLA with Edmund Teske. Jim Morrison was re-editing his UCLA end of term Workshop 170B Film. Often Jim and Robbie would slip into Bungalow 3K7a trailer behind Gypsy Wagon snack bar and smoke a joint..... Throughout the summer, Robbie carried his manual Minolta 35mm camera as a requirement for his class with Teske. Robbie and Jim would get high and take photos while they cruised around Los Angeles area: Will Rodgers State Beach, The Self Realization Center, The Red Log House and at Morrison's apartment on Goshen Ave. "Jim would never pose for a photo unless he was making an odd motion or a bold statement". That fall of 1965 Jim came to Robbie's home in Topanga Canyon and played a demo of six songs with Ray and his brothers (Rick and the Ravens). Jim had written the lyrics himself and "The Doors" had asked Jim to sing them himself. It was before the revolution. Truly, this special and important work documents the months before Jim Morrison joined the Doors. The photos of Jim playing with a gas mask, climbing a fire escape as well as hiding behind a Jacket, smoking a joint, passing a joint and lying on the beach all make a statement of who Jim was and became to be. These photos are a true piece of American history.

By 1985, Phil Trainer was back in Paris and people started referring to him by his nickname, "Steele" -- French for "style". The name stuck and became Phil's pseudonym. But up until that time, Phil Trainer had already made a name for himself, having written film scores for Georges Lautner, a No. 1 hit in Latin America titled "Carousel", and the international club classic, "City Lights" -- the balearic anthem that went Gold, selling over 10 million singles and compilations.

Jim Morrison: The Articulation of the Shaman-Poet in the Poetic Tradition
This dissertation aims at the articulation of the shaman-poet in the poetic tradition. It presents American poet Jim Morrison as the shaman artist whose life and poetry are analyzed as belonging to the tradition of poets Plato called possessed by furor poeiicus. This tradition, which is to find its prime in the writings of the Romantic poets, states that poetry is a secret language, based on feeling and imagination, that speaks to the heart of men about the sacred and universal, i. e., natural, quality of the human soul. The shaman-poet, thus, belongs to a tradition that goes back thousands of years to a time when the primitive man used to be in touch with a magical understanding of his environment on a regular basis, in contrast to the extremely rational perception of the world by modem man. The poetry of Jim Morrison is presented here as a representative of this sacred language that tells of this magical perception, long-forgotten, though never completely erased from the human mind. Hence, it is to be seen not only as a bridge to the spiritual realm of feeling and imagination, but also as a technique for ecological survival in this current rational and secular era.

Portas por trás das portas: sete abordagens temáticas a partir do grupo The Doors
Este trabalho quer explorar sete abordagens temáticas possíveis a partir e, principalmente, em diálogo com a trajetória e obra de um grupo californiano de rock, o The Doors. O texto é resultado de discussões anteriormente elaboradas para minicursos, aulas, mesa-redonda e, especialmente, matérias publicadas, em 2001, na imprensa belohorizontina.
Celebration of the Lizard King: Jim Morrison
I went on to find other wonderful coincidences in Jim's writing and his inspiration from other works such as The Yage Letters from William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg. This is another drug-inspired tale woven through a series of letters between the two authors. The first portion of the collection begins with Burroughs during his visit to the Amazon Rainforest in 1953 in search of yage, one of the most powerful hallucinogens known to man. The latter series of correspondence occurred when Ginsberg went on the same conquest in 1960. Burroughs wrote back to Ginsberg after his mystical journey...
"WHAT SCARED YOU ALL INTO TIME? WHAT SCARED YOU ALL INTO YOUR BODIES?"
Not a decade later, Morrison wrote...
"Who scared you? Why were you born, my babe?
In two-time's arms with all of your charms, my love.
Why were you born? just to play with me?
To freak out or to be beautiful, my dear?
Load your head, blow it up, feeling good, baby"

Jim - Walter Daguerre
Um homem diante do túmulo de Jim Morrison com uma arma em punho. Um homem que não conheceu o vocalista do The Doors pessoalmente mas que, entretanto, teve sua vida pautada pelas ideias e pelos ideais deste que é considerado um dos maiores ícones do rock de todos os tempos. Um homem que durante anos acalentou o sonho de seguir os passos de seu ídolo, como artista e como ser humano, mas que acabou percorrendo uma existência trivial. Um homem que chegou aos 40 com o sentimento de que suas idealizações se perderam no tempo. É este homem que está agora em Paris, no cemitério Père-Lachaise, com um revólver na mão para acertar as contas com Jim Morrison. Ele tem somente uma bala, uma pequena peça de chumbo com a qual pretende transformar seu destino num jogo de azar. Este seria um acontecimento relativamente simples, não fosse a aparição de uma misteriosa mulher com quem ele trava um decisivo diálogo. E a presença enigmática de JIM.

Jim Morrison, do “The Doors”, é tema de peça musical no Rio de Janeiro
Com direção de Paulo Moraes, o texto é de Walter Daguerre e procura fugir do modelo biográfico, voltando a atenção do espectador especialmente para a poesia e os conflitos internos de Jim. O autor procura também mostrar a influência de grandes nomes como Friedrich Nietzsche, William Blake e Charles Baudelaire como inspiração para os trabalhos de Morrison. No palco, Eriberto se divide entre dois homens, o próprio Jim e João Mota, um fã nascido 49 dias após a precoce morte do músico, mas que é profundamente influenciado por suas ideias e conceitos. Mesclando referências musicais nacionais e internacionais do próprio ator, o espetáculo é embalado por 10 sucessos, incluindo “Light my fire”, “The end” e “Riders on the storm“, todos executados ao vivo por Eriberto, que divide o palco com a atriz Renata Guida e uma banda.
O espetáculo fica em cartaz até o fim do semestre na Sala Tônia Carrero, do Teatro Leblon, com grandes possibilidades de passar por São Paulo, Belo Horizonte e Curitiba em 2014.
brief translation: The play "Jim", based on the life and work of James Douglas Morrison, premieres today (July 9th, 2013) at Rio de Janeiro, Brasil. Written by Walter Daguerre it focuses mainly on Jim's poetry, psychology and influence by Nietzsche, Blake, Baudelaire on Morrison. The show is rocked by 10 hits as Light my fire, The end, Riders on the storm, all performed live by actor Eriberto Leão.
