Or rather, the grave of the other Jim Morrison, in the Pere Lachaise cemetery.  I was planning to videotape myself doing something funny, walking over his grave or dancing on it or something, but then when I got there, two things became apparent.  1) The grave was sealed off by metal gates and 2)There was a perpetual crowd of devotees around it.  And while I may not share the respect these people have for someone who, while he did a few pretty decent songs and was an okay poet, honestly was a pretty lousy singer, and the guy on the organ playing the same damn blues chord over and over in every song.  Anyway, even though I might not share these people&#8217;s admiration for this man, I didn&#8217;t feel like sullying their experience by imposing my own.  While I was standing there  I listened to a man explain in French to a couple of tourists about the singer&#8217;s life and death.  Their solemn nods.  I may not like the guy, but these people do.  And he was a person.  I don&#8217;t know.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway hopefully it&#8217;ll be sunnier tomorrow and I&#8217;ll finally go see the monuments.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So I visited my grave today.
