Illegitimate Son

Meet Cliff Morrison. His real name is Cliff Marsden, but he decided to take his father's name. His father is Jim Morrison, lead singer of the legendary rock group The Doors. Or so Cliff says, anyway.

Am I convinced? Not by a longshot. Am I intrigued? You bet your ass.

According to Cliff, he was the product of a one night stand between his mother and Jim Morrison. He says he never knew who his father was until he reached adulthood and his mother told him the truth. Jim, of course, was long dead. But that doesn't mean he can't keep rockin', because the Indian spirit that possessed Jim Morrison is now living in Cliff Morrison! That's right, the very same Indian spirit leapt into Cliff's soul, as Indian spirits are wont to do.

The plus side to all this is that now Cliff might just have a little fun on the road to excess. He's already cut one album, an out-of-print collector's item that was released overseas. I heard he went to prison after that. Don't know what for, but I heard that he was mixed up in drugs. I figured that drugs were par for the course when you're possessed by an Indian spirit, but I guess The Law wouldn't let it slide. Anyways, Cliff's out now and he's ready for business. Cliff's gonna cut another album. He opened a myspace account, which is also par for the course for Indian spirits. You can hear some of his music there too, you fucking slave. Fortunately, he's spared us from having to listen to any death poetry, as that doesn't seem to be his thing. Been there done that, I guess. Cliff's music is more bluesy retro rock. Aw hell, who am I kidding... it sounds just like The Doors if the Doors sounded like hammered shit. Give it a listen.

The comparison to Jim is uncanny. Especially the bottom left picture where I guess Cliff cut his hair?

He looks almost more like Val Kilmer from the movie than Jim... then again Val looked more like Jim than Jim!

I've seen this guy in person, and yes, he has mucho charisma.

What a tool this guy is. He can't stay out of prison. He isn't a good enough performer to get attention without some unproven connection to a former icon. Still, no one knows who he is.

The guy's a joke. Even if he is the illegitimate son of Jim Morrison, he's still pathetic.

Updated MySpace address (old one is no good) http://www.myspace.com/cmlsbofficial

and for anonymous #2, YOU are the 'tool' here!
what is REALLY pathetic? just another sad and joyless soul who has nothing better to do than personally tear down people you have NO CLUE about based on hearsay fielded by more of the same...
if you don't like his music no one is holding a gun to your head and forcing you to listen.
lastly, please, get a clue. your life can be improved from its current miserable state =)

Whether or not there is a genetic link, it's interesting we vilify addiction and/or mental illness in the younger guy when we glorified the older guy for it.

Yo are you for real? I refuse to tell you HOW I'm related to HIM... however the picture on the bottom right is Michael Lee aka Michael Lee Johnson(Johns)...it is NOT CLIFF. Long hair from American idol. I'm pissed dude. Is my brother Cliff or Michael? Michael you can't be my brother because you're Ed Rabbits kid and f*cked me OVER. Jim and Pam TOLD YOU. So Cliff, are you for real OR WHAT? Now if you're a lying FRAUD don't respond because I am sick of schizophrenic bullsh*t. If you're my bro, come to the donut shop and PROVE IT!!!

If you're my brother, then tell me about the female dressing relationship between Dad and Uncle Freddy Mercury.

Then we got SEVERAL broads including Catherine Keener saying they are an actress who doesn't exist named"GiGi Morrison". Saying they are the daughter of Jim. I'm so f*cking OVER this sh_t already. If you know the TRUTH, show up at the f*cking donut shop. Bring my so-called f*cking soulmate Winters with you too(he's already shown up as Dean and secret service Mayhamed). Only the authentic REAL mother f*ckers in this effed family will understand. Show the f*ck up bro! Don't bring any HOOKERS or I'll flip the f*ck out. Go ahead bring cousin Cusack and Great Uncle Thompson. NO BAKER BLOOD should accompany YOU!

I personally met him, many years ago. He smuggled a tape and brought it to my boyfriends studio in Carlsbad. The place he was staying (he said) would kill him if he knew he took it. Anyway, he looked a lot like his dad and sounded a lot like his dad. He told us the entire story. I believed it. He had no reason to lie to us, we were not famous or writing a story or book. Just people trying to be nice to another human.
