LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- The father of
late Doors singer Jim Morrison has broken his silence to share memories of his
estranged son, who once sang about killing him and joked that his family was
dead.
George Morrison, a retired U.S. Navy admiral, is one of the
contributors to "The Doors by the Doors," an authorized memoir released this
week. The book's author, rock journalist Ben Fong-Torres, also interviewed the
band's three surviving members and Jim's younger brother and sister, among
others.
"We look back on him with great delight ... The fact that
he's dead is unfortunate but looking back on his life it's a very pleasant
thought," George Morrison says in the book.
