MusiCares: Remembering Jim Morrison – www.musicares.org From the untrained beginnings as a roadie for the Doors, Bill Siddons remembers his experiences with Jim Morrison and his varied drug use. Tales of Jim Morrison’s excessive use of alcohol and acid sometimes seem to glamorize the life of a “rock and roll star”, but also were a direct cause of his death. Bill’s attempts to manage the Doors and Jim, was a challenge as Jim Morrison did everything to the extreme.
