Longer Introduction
This article needs a longer introduction. I'm serious. The reader needs to know something about Morrison's unstable behaviour when they read the beginning. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.88.97.42 (talk) 00:03, 18 June 2011 (UTC)
The statement "Morrison reportedly had an I.Q. of 149" is utterly ridiculous. (a) Reported by whom? (b) How reliably? (c) So bleeding what? 149 is not all that unusual (from memory, about 2% of the population are at or above 148), (d) Does the IQ of everyone with an article in Wiki get a mention? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.68.94.86 (talk) 16:04, 25 March 2012 (UTC)
Jim Morrison's suspected death by heroin
The current article says Jim died(?) of a "suspected heroin overdose" is incorrect. As explained in the book "No One Here Gets Out Alive", the authors explain that Jim had a fear of needles, even going as far to sabotage his own U.S. Army physical through various methods. 65.87.33.160 (talk) 06:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
Heroin doesn't need to be injected through a needle, and the anecdote you mention doesn't mean he didn't do it. It can be snorted for effect very effectively. In the same book it's made clear that Pamela Courson, the primary witness present, believes he did just that, and from her stash. Thus her guilt over his death. It's likely he died because of the combination of alcohol, his respiratory medication, and insufflated heroin. 76.127.201.198 (talk) 16:58, 25 February 2012 (UTC)

It would be nice to have a fair use image of one of the more iconic photos from this session. I think its fair use, as its discussed in the article. Joel Brodsky was the photog, which ive expanded a bit.Mercurywoodrose (talk) 01:13, 26 March 2012 (UTC)
Cite tags
This article, as of right now, is splattered with cite tags. I'm fine with the banner tag, or the section tags, or the inline tags, but not all 3. That's just silly. I don't know if this is supposed to be a joke or something, so I'm asking here first. I'll give this a week or so to see if anybody responds. If not, I'm going to remove the banner tag and section tags as they are redundant. The inline tags are helpful to know what specific concerns others have. Let me know what you think. 64.40.54.205 (talk) 22:03, 25 July 2012 (UTC)
