This week, Ali tells Ash about Jim Morrison, the controversial lead singer of The Doors who died at the young age of... you guessed it, 27. You heard about him last week when he allegedly grabbed fellow 27 Club member Janis Joplin by the hair and she hit him over the head with a bottle of Southern Comfort. He was also known as The King of Orgasmic Rock and The Lizard King. His dad had a hand in starting the Vietnam war and he was a big fan of Nietzsche. Jim Morrison is a wild ride.
