JIM MORRISON'S MOM DEAD AT 85

Clara Morrison died late last month in Coronada, Calif. Australia's Undercover tells:

Mrs Morrison was an active part of suing Doors members Ray Manzerek and Robbie Krieger when they toured as The Doors in recent years. The results went in the Morrison's favor and the former Doors members were forced to tour under the name The Doors of the 21st Century.

If Jim Morrison hadn't died in 1971, he would be 63 this year, probably fat and bloated, likely selling "Light My Fire" to some erectile-dysfunction drugmaker. Neil Young was right and Kurt Cobain knew it: a burnout always beats the fade away.
