Jim Morrison - Interview (Isle of Wight 1970)

Eriberto Leão explica sobre seu espetáculo sobre Jim Morrison

Será, na verdade, uma auto-entrevista, ou seja, Jim entrevistando a si mesmo numa peça.

New plays about Jim Morrison are coming out on Brazil

I am very happy while writing  this. Ya know, I live in Brazil and it's kind hard to be a Doors fan here - we don' t have so much things related to Jim or the band as in the U.S. or in Europe. But I keep seeking for things related to both. Sorry for the mistakes, it's so hard to translate things from Portugese to English

And then, I found out this treasure! The Brazilian actor Eriberto Leão is making a play about Jim Morrison's life to come out on next semester!

First of all, I'll tell you about Eriberto. He's a Brazilian actor, widely known in my country by his soap operas on the Globo Television (the most famous television channel here), but he's also on Plays and Movies. And Eriberto is a huge fan of Jim, he's always talking about Jim on Interviews. There's one of Eriberto's quotes about Jim:

"I started to study Jim's life 20 years ago. I understood what he meant behind The Doors. I mean, I feel like if I've meet Jim without even looking to him.(...) Jim was a guy beyond that lawbreaker. What he meant was based on a beautiful and philosophical way; it is very important for the young people, it's a contribution, I'd say, to the younger; I know they'd like the play.".

Eriberto

Then now, the news about the play are oficially coming out. I'd translate one of them, but I've got some words from Eriberto about the play and I think he himself is the best person to explain the project:

Eriberto wrote: "We'd travel around the country".

"I talk about Jimbo 'cause I'll bring him to life again on the Theater, it'll be a Jimbo that only the people who truly understood him know"./"Jim had a main goal: only if you know Nietzche you'll understand. Or coming to the Theater soon.".

 I hope to see the play coming to my city. It'd be GREAT!

And the Lizard King is really conquering Brazil! There's also a musical play about him on Curitiba. The play itself is played on the streets, what fits pretty good w/ Morrison's spirit. The name of the show is "Rock is Dead?". The play is also focusing on Jim Morrison's life and legacy and on which were his goals behind The Doors and his Poetry books.

There's the poster of the musical play:

The Rock is Dead director speaks about the play:

Well, it's played on the streets.         

There will be 10 songs played by the band O TRILHO (The Track). This band will be a character on the play, it'll be The Doors. It'll play during all the show, but it'll appear only when we play Break on Through (the apex of Jim's caree w/ The Doors.)         

Our goal is to show Jim's life on many ways. The begin is w/ a drum and an invocation to  Jim through the actors singing "MISTER MOJO RISIN".         

Following there'll be the Ghost Song text, it'll be like the first scene. After calling Jim's ghost, we'll play Peace Frog and Unknown Soldier. On this moment, we'll show Jim w/ his participation on the theatrical group The LIVING THEATRE (offbroadway group, w/ a revolutionary aesthetic on its plays). After this metaphorical critic to the alienation, we'll play L.A WOMAN (once again MISTER MOJO RISIN will call out the audience)    Then we'll play Alabama Song (written by Bertold Brecht- playwright related to the Living Theatre). It'll be like a freak show on the play, w/ bizarre things and fire.     

Then we'll quote William Blake to the audience - trying to open their doors of perception  - while it'll be for Jim the moment of insights and discover of inspiration. It'll happen after Break on Through.      

After that, we'll begin the Celebration of the Lizard and the whole question "IS ROCK DEAD?". We'll mix this song w/ parts of the Celebration of the Lizard.     

Ending, we'll mix When the music is over/roadhouse blues and some another track from The Soft Parade.     

We'll finish it  w/ Jim's death and the song called THE END. It's the last  procession...       

 It's a ceremonial play where the people are going experience a unique moment as audience.

You can also check out the Facebook page for the Musical. It's really cool, they're always sharing a lot of stuffs related to Jim and Doors! Check out Eriberto's twitter (it's mainly on Portuguese).

Listen to the song here.

The releasing of the song is part of the Year of the Doors, featuring also w/ a Deluxe Edition of L.A. Woman and the documentary "Mr. Mojo Risin': The Making of L.A. Woman".

Final 24: Jim Morrison's Last Hours

I've found out the full documentary about Jim's death via Jim Morrison Project who gently shared it with us on Facebook. I've watched it and I think it's a great documentary, 'cause it doesn't focus just on Jim's death, but they also explore the whole way towards it. It's a little bit shocking 'cause they explored Jim's vices - like drugs and alcohol. I felt so sad when I saw Pamela De Barres describing Jim drunk lying on the door of the Whiskey a Go Go... But I know it's a side of Jim we can't deny. And they also bought  some precious information about Jim's relation with his family. There are beautiful and rare pictures of Jim during the documentary. Anyway, it's worth of watching!


Eu achei o documentário completo sobre a morte de Jim via Jim Morrison Project que gentilmemente compartilhou isto conosco no Facebook. Eu assisti e eu acho que é um documentário incrível, pois que não foca só na morte de Jim, mas eles também exploram tudo o que levou ao fim culminante. É um pouco chocante pois eles exploraram os vícios de Jim de uma forma crua - como drogas e álcool. Eu me senti tão triste quando vi Pamela De Barres descrevendo o Jim bêbado deitado na porta do Whiskey a Go Go... Mas eu sei que é um lado de Jim que nós não podemos negar. E eles também trouxeram algumas informações preciosas sobre a relação de Jim com a família dele. Há fotos lindas e raras de Jim durante o documentário. De qualquer maneira, vale a pena assistir!

My Little Jim

I've a two years-old nephew called Eiji (His name is the same name of my father, his grandfather, who is Japanese and that's why the baby has this strange and ugly name). He's really a "pants-on-fire" baby! Ya know, he just loves to be crazy and funny as most of kids are when they are at this age.

And you should me ask why I am posting this about my nephew: It's simple, he has been born in the same day than Jim Morrison. And on little Eiji's birthday, I just gave him a The Doors Baby T-Shirt! <3

There are the pictures:

Jim Morrison's Birthday ~ The Hours

Today is Jim's birthday - and it's also the bithday of two years-old nephew called Eiji that I call my little Jim. If he was alive today, he'd be a 68 years-old man.

But Jim was taken from us when he was 27, everybody knows the history.

I just wanted to make something different and tell you what Jim Morrison means in my life.

The picture above shows the very first The Doors CD I've ever heard in my whole life. I didn't buy it, a daddy's friend gave to me when I was a 13 years-old girl. I remember I came back in the car w/ mommy and daddy listening to The Doors and mommy said that it was "cool, you could even dance it".

Jim and The Doors returned to my life when I was 14 years-old and my daddy left home. I was listening to Roadhouse Blues. Jim's voice just seemed to hold me up. Jim hugged me and I didn't fall 'cause of him.

But my deep love for Jim just began in the past year when I read a little book about him. I fell in love w/ the man and the rich world surrounding his life and legend.

I can't even say in which moments Doors and Jim were on my life. My dog's death, my first love, the nights dancing The Doors w/ my children, reading Jim's poetry w/ my cat, breaking hearts w/ L.A. Woman as soundtrack...

So Jim, happy birthday. Thank you for being here and being you.

Thank you for all. Thank you forever.

The picture above is Clara Morrison holding her son, the little James Douglas Morrison. I've done a video in honor to Jim:

My Wild Love

I just saw this picture of Florence Welch and tought about the song in the same moment! So I'm joining both:

My wild love went riding

She rode all the day

She wrote to the devil

And asked him to pay

The devil was wiser

It's time to repent

He asked her to give back

The money she spent

My wild love went ridin'

She rode to the sea

She gathered together

Some shells for her head

She rode and she rode on

She rode for a while

Then stopped for an evening

And lay her head down

She rode on to Christmas

She rode to the farm

She rode to Japan

And we entered a town

By this time the river

Had changed one degree

She asked for the people

To let her go free

My wild love is crazy

She screams like a bird

She moans like a cat

When she wants to be heard

My wild love went ridin'

She rode for an hour

She rode and she rested

And then she rode on

Ride, c'mon

Nirvana - The End (The Doors Cover)

I am amazed by this video. Initially, I thought it was fake... But it's not. It's amazing to see how Cobain and this song are perfect one for the other.

Esse vídeo é incrível. Me impressiona ver como Cobain e essa música são feitos um para o outro.
