My theory on Jim Morrison

This information was brought to my attention in 1995 by a girl that I used to know. I researched the information myself and found it convincing. First of all, anyone can create a fictitious identity for themselves. People do it everyday. So thirty years down the road after you supposedly died it is just as easy to say “I’m a former Episcopalian minister who is now retired and writes home spun philosophy on my houseboat in Seattle and off the coast of Crete” as it is “I’m the Lizard King, I’m Mojo Risin’ and you wouldn’t take me serious as a poet so I decided to fake my death and come back years later to be finally taken serious as a writer”. Just food for thought. That being said, if you look at pictures of Fulghum you have to bear in mind that Jim Morrison would be geriatric now, not the sinewy, sexy 27 year old “Young Lion” that we all love. So its easy to see Jim/ Robert with short cut white hair wearing cardigan sweaters and befitted with eye glasses. Look at him and draw your own conclusion. Next, his writing style is very similar to Morrison’s writing style. You can put Morrison’s poetry and passages from any one of Fulghum’s philosophy books side by side and they look like they are written by the same person. Ok, that’s not good enough? Try this on for size. If you listen to any audio book that Fulhum has put out, he sounds just like Jim Morrison. As a matter of fact, I will post here a RARE video from You Tube of Robert Fulghum imparting is wisdom. You see, one peculiar thing about a successful writer like Fulghum is that he hardly ever makes public appearances. Most writers who sell a lot of books do signings at Barnes & Noble and places like that. Not him, he’s a recluse. If that’s not enough, here is the proverbial rabbit in the hat. If you yourself go to any book store and pick up one of Fulghum’s books I want you to turn it over to the back cover. You will see the standard synopsis in the middle, the publishers name and so on. Now look lower like down where the bar code is at. Over to the side you will see a logo that is Fulghum’s personal icon that is published on all of his books. It kind of looks like Arabic script. Take the book in you hands holding it straight up and down and turn it 45 degrees and look at that logo. You will clearly see the intertwined letters J D M. James Douglas Morrison. Let me just say that Robert Fulghum has never said that he is/was Jim Morrison. It is an assumption of mine. Morrison never had an autopsy and only three or four people saw his body. Draw your own conclusion.
