Remembering Jim Morrison:

On this day, July 3rd, we remember the legendary Jim Morrison, the enigmatic frontman of The Doors, who passed away at the age of 27 in Paris. Jim's profound impact on music and poetry continues to resonate, captivating fans old and new with his deep voice and iconic lyrics.

Born in Florida in 1943, Jim's journey took him across the United States due to his father's Navy career, fostering a voracious appetite for reading and creativity. After studying at UCLA, he and fellow student Ray Manzarek formed The Doors in 1965, inspired by Aldous Huxley's "The Doors of Perception." With Robby Krieger and John Densmore, they created a sound that was unmistakably unique.

The height of The Doors' fame coincided with the revolutionary late 1960s, a time of profound social and political upheaval. From 1968 to 1969, the band’s music became the soundtrack to a tumultuous era marked by the assassinations of Martin Luther King Jr. and Robert F. Kennedy, and widespread civil unrest. Their breakout hit "Light My Fire" and timeless classic "Break On Through (To the Other Side)" were emblematic of this period, capturing the spirit and tensions of the times.

Despite their success, Jim's life was a tumultuous one, marked by struggles with substance abuse and personal demons. In March 1971, after completing the album LA Woman, Jim sought solace in Paris. Tragically, he was found dead just a few months later, with the cause of death officially listed as heart failure, though rumors of a he**in overdose persist.

Since his death, his fame has endured as one of popular culture's top rebellious and oft-displayed icons, representing the generation gap and youth counterculture.

Jim Morrison is one of the many talented artists who joined the so-called "27 Club," alongside icons like Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain. His legacy lives on, especially at Père Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, where fans continue to leave tributes.

The 1991 Oliver Stone film, The Doors, starring Val Kilmer as Jim Morrison, beautifully captures his spirit and the band's rise to fame. Kilmer's performance is nothing short of extraordinary, echoing Morrison's charisma and intensity.

As we remember Jim Morrison today, let’s celebrate the enduring power of his music and poetry. The Doors' sound remains as revolutionary and poignant as ever, a testament to the brilliance of a star that burned too bright, too fast.

as Minnesota Fats in "The Hustler"

On "The Hustler" (1961) set, Paul Newman challenged Jackie Gleason, aka Minnesota Fats, to a $50 pool game. Gleason won, and Newman paid him with 5,000 pennies the next day. All pool shots in the movie were performed by Newman and Gleason, except one by the technical advisor, Willie Mosconi. Contrary to popular belief, the character Minnesota Fats was not based on the real Minnesota Fats (Rudolf Wanderone Jr.).

During filming on St. Patrick's Day, the crew replaced all the clear gels with green ones. Gleason was so impressed he gave everyone the day off. The film's impact even inspired the 1986 sequel, "The Color of Money."

Happy Birthday, Jackie Gleason!
