He had reportedly died on July 3, but no mention was made until after his interment, almost a week later. Several things didn’t quite make sense about the death. First, it seemed odd that a 27-year-old man, as active as Morrison was, could die of a heart attack. Second, his casket was always sea led. No one who could be taken at his/her word ever saw the body in the casket, except for Morrison’s wife Pamela. She died of a heroin overdose last year without making any statements. All this happened within less than a year of the deaths of Jimi Hendrix and Janis Joplin, and within two years of the “Paul is dead hoax. Three American rock deaths in a year’s time seemed a bit much to Morrison’s fans, many of whom re fuse to believe that he is really dead. Why dredge up all this ancient history? Well, about a month ago a fellow surfaced in New Orleans claiming to be Jim Morrison. An analysis of his story led to one conclusion: Jim Morrison may be alive, but he sure isn’t that fellow in New Orleans. A taped interview with the pre tender was aired on radio WRNO in New Orleans soon after he made his presence known. However, certain parts were edited out — most nota- bly the fact that his (“Morrison’s ”) real name is Billy Casselberry, and that he legally changed his name to Jim Morrison in California. He claims to have become Morrison by means of some sort of psychic trans formation that took place at the time of Morrison’s death. Casselberry compared his trans formation to the tradition of a Japanese kabuki actor, who would pass his stage identity down to a successor, year after year. Quite a lame story. Writing under Morrison s name, Casselberry, a paraplegic, has pro duced what he calls “a novel novel. The book, “The Bank of America of Louisiana,’ describes “the reap pearance on earth of a deceased Hollywood rock star . . . disguised as a mild-minded Louisiana banker.” Sounds like Casselberry’s brain went soft after watching too many “Superman” shows on television. Casselberry’s Zeppelin Publish ing Corp., headquartered in Baton Rouge, is actually a slap-dash one- man operation. The book itself is a poorly written and edited work on about the level of a retarded first- grader, churned out on an epileptic typewriter. The biggest reason for Casselber ry’s pulling off this stunt is the dense cloud of mystery and ambiguity sur rounding Morrison’s Parisian death. In the first place, it’s very simple to get a death certificate in France because a body isn’t needed. All that is required is for the French equivalent of a Notary Public to affix his seal to a statement affirming that so-and-so died of such-and-such causes on the above date. And, voi- la! a man is legally dead. Under circumstances like that, a man of Morrison’s intelligence and wit could very easily pull off a faked death. Even the first Morrison’s manager. Bill Siddons, cannot re ject that possibility. He also remarked that Morrison’s casket was sealed when he got to Paris “because he couldn’t stand the sensationalism of his image.’’ That also accounted for the delay in an nouncing Morrison’s death, since everyone involved was said to have wanted a private funeral without the publicity that inevitably accom panies a rock star’s death. But hope springs eternal within the heart of man, or so it is said. And that hope has, over the years, been channelled into a vast energy by Morrison fans who never accepted the reports of his death. Even Cas selberry has referred to this. “There are a tremendous number of people who won’t believe Morri son is dead until the body has been exhumed,’’ said Casselberry. “Until that time, there’s this tremendous untapped reality. It’s not necessar ily a reality in terms of truth, but since people continue to have this belief, it’s a very real kind of energy. ” How true he is, at least on one count. Die-hard fans will grab at anything that’s offered them, but that’s no excuse for Casselberry’s brand of hogwash. Hopefully his kind will be taken off the streets.
