It’s hardly surprising that one of the most iconic and bestselling musician biographies of all time, and the first (of a veritable “Spanish Caravan”) written about the Doors front man Jim Morrison, was titled NO ONE HERE GETS OUT ALIVE.

The lyric is a line from “Five to One,” a perennial fan favorite penned by Morrison but credited officially to the Doors—and it has stuck in my mind (as it has in countless others over more than half a century since its 1968 release) like a splinter, to reference the movie THE MATRIX that also figures prominently in this book.

When I was living in Paris in the early 1990s, I became obsessed with Morrison, and not just his music but his often macabre poetry as well. This was shortly after the release of Oliver Stone’s uber provocative rock biopic that put to shame all other rock biopics, THE DOORS.

As a birthday present, my girlfriend gave me a bilingual copy of THE LORDS & THE NEW CREATURES, Morrison’s first volume of poetry replete with dark meditations on sex, celebrity, drugs, and (of course) death.

While riding the Metro, sitting on the steps of Montmartre and sipping espresso at cafés, I found myself reading it alternately in English and the French translation to capture more and more nuances of Morrison’s cryptic, multilayered thought.

Jim had died in Paris and was buried in the city’s famously lovely necropolis, Père Lachaise Cemetery. His grave—which once featured a stone bust with his big hippy hair made by a Croatian sculptor and stolen in 1988—was, and still is, a literal shrine to many tourists, fans and hipster locals making rock ‘n’ roll pilgrimages from near and far.

Practically as controversial in death as in life, ever since his untimely demise in 1971 that rocked the rock world, Morrison has lingered in a sort of public half-life.

Simultaneously, he has been an inspiration for counterculture and music lovers; a nuisance for Parisians fed up with the incessant drinking, smoking and carousing that have turned his grave into an eternal party; and a would-be prodigal son to his home country, where a Florida politician bizarrely (and unsuccessfully) sought to have Jim’s final resting place relocated to his birthplace, the Space Coast!

My girlfriend—call her Kate—and I regularly visited Morrison’s final resting place, and often partook in the festivities, which I must admit were exemplary displays of Dionysian behavior … if inevitably a regretted hangover source.

Filled with more cemeteries, church crypts and bone-lined Catacombs than you could shake a Gauloise at, Paris invited an ongoing meditation on the afterlife. Like HARRY POTTER’s Myrtle without the moaning, I regularly found myself contemplating the seeming inevitability of death.

And then one overcast Parisian winter afternoon half a decade later, when I was back in town visiting a new girlfriend, while standing in front of Morrison’s grave strewn with flowers and cigarette butts yet again as if no time had elapsed and nothing had changed, the doors of my perception (hat tip to William Blake and Aldous Huxley) suddenly burst wide open when a still small voice inside me asked this simply disarming question:

“Does no one here get out alive?”

“A hidden ‘technology’ or superpower resides in all of us, which is scientifically proven and costs nothing. Many names have been used for it in the past, and some vary slightly in meaning: precognition, telepathy, remote viewing, out-of-body experience, alchemy, telekinesis, magik (yes, with a k), astral travel, various non-intrusive healing modalities, and many more. Stories have been told of people like Edgar Cayce, Nostradamus, and yogis performing superhuman feats. But they also tell these stories as though nobody else can. Of course, there are certain limits we all have. But the very important thing to understand here is that being human is not just being flesh and bone. Our spirit has tremendous potential, and we forgot how to use it.” ~ X Polemos

You may have heard that daylight saving time was created to save on energy costs. I say it was purposely introduced to f*ck with people’s circadian rhythm and cause sleep deprivation twice a year.

Rule #1 when controlling the sheeple: keep them off balance and as dysfunctional as possible. Conspiracy theories aside, it can’t be denied that daylight saving time has been linked to a marked increase in heart attacks, traffic fatalities, and suicides.

Given the toll this completely artificial time takes on human health, the fact that most states still observe it should, at the very least, give one pause. Or do you not find it disturbing that the government cares more about minor energy savings than major impacts on mortality rates?
