Jim Morrison's First Poem Added To Hall Of Fame

Jim Morrison's First Poem Added To Hall Of Fame
Ray Manzarek's marriage certificate and the handwritten lyrics to Jim Morrison's first poem have been added to the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame as part of a new 40th anniversary tribute to The Doors. The Doors memorabilia was added to the Cleveland, Ohio museum when the group was inducted to the Hall Of Fame in 1993, but new items have been added to coincide with a new "Break On Through - The Lasting Legacy Of The Doors" exhibition. The show is the first to be endorsed by Morrison's family. The new items also include Robby Krieger's custom Gibson guitar and a promotional record that came with purchases of toothpaste and shampoo. But the highlight is sure to be the poem Not To Touch The Earth, which tragic frontman Morrison's wrote when he was a child.

  • Newest Jim Morrison fan here. My daughter just called Jim, "daddy". I guess I'm a very lucky gal.That is because my boyfriend in a very weird way resembles Jim. I wish I had a picture so that you'd be the judge.
