“Being the “keeper of the truth” is a very hard job and one I would not want. Ray Manzarek is basically a nice guy but I think he must have a very bad memory. And sometimes he acts like he hates anyone that was a friend of Jim. Most of what he wrote in his book and what he says in interviews about me and Babe Hill are far from the truth. I won't call his statements lies; let's just say that his memory is dysfunctional. We all know that Ray stretches and changes reality to suit his own purposes. Let me state this accurately: Jim Morrison was a fantastic human being and an incredible creative artist, but not for the reasons Ray says. Jim's myth and legend do not need the manipulation of Ray or Danny Sugerman. Jim left us with poems and songs and films and writings that establish him as one of the 20th century's most creative inhabitants. Jim doesn't need Ray to pump him up into a steroid monster myth. Actually Ray is doing himself and the Doors damage by not citing Jim's real accomplishments. Ray should stop trying to make Jim the bad boy of rock, stop trying to show how he was the embodiment of Dionysus (com'on Ray, the Greek god metaphor was old 30 years ago), and stop trying to portray Jim as a petulant child. He should stop because it doesn't do the Doors any good in the long run. Jim's poems will endure long after anyone can remember Ray's stories. It would be far wiser for the Doors to cite Jim's accomplishments. Instead they want to sell the public an image of Jim (Jim the drunken troublemaker and black leather outlaw) that they think will sell records. This is very short sighted, and something that Jim would find distasteful.
It's strange and somehow ironic that Ray doesn't like HWY. Maybe it's a matter of taste.  Maybe he doesn't like experimental films, or films that turn their back on convention.  Jim thought HWY was complete (he says so in interviews) and he thought that it was something of a break through film. He was proud of it, proud enough to bring it Paris with him to show to his friends Agnès Varda and Jacques Demy. In matters of artistic taste I'll side with Jim Morrison every time. Ray didn't like the film “Feast of Friends” either, but he cut it up and used sequences from that film for the Doors home videos. Maybe he didn't like it because he wasn't much involved in the making of the film? And you know, he was very unfair about those home videos. He never did credit me for my camera work at the Hollywood Bowl Concert.
[...]
Ray, Robby and John are excellent musicians and even, most of time, OK guys. But something monumental happened to them when they were young and they've never recovered. They met a genius on their way to maturity and they've had trouble trying to justify their behavior during and since that genius walked out of their lives. I just realized that a whole book could be written on this subject: the effect that a truly remarkable human being has on the lives of the ordinary humans he encounters. Does anyone remember Pier Paolo Pasolini's film “Teorema” which explores this very subject?
One last note:  I have no hard feelings about Ray. He and I were friends once. I wish he'd remember that and stop demeaning me in the press. In fact I wish he'd retract all the bullshit he's said about me and set the record straight.  I was not one of Jim Morrison's “drinking buddies”, I was his friend.”

KING -- MORRISON -- KRIEGER: THESE DAYS WILL NEVER COME AGAIN.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on bluesman Albert King hanging out backstage with Jim Morrison and Robby Krieger of THE DOOR'S, during a June 5th, 1970 Seattle Center Coliseum show, Seattle, WA. 📸: Frank Lisciandro.
What's more, Albert King reportedly toured alongside the Door's in 1970 for a handful of gigs, and I was completely unaware of this until today. I thought it was just a one-off performance this whole time.

“So, anyway, we´re in Hawaii, sitting there, and Jim could drink enormous amounts of alcohol, that I was aware of. I was pregnant and not having anything, but they were having Mai-Tais. And Jim said, “I think I´m going to rent a motorcycle.” I said “No, no, you don´t want to rent a motorcycle, let´s go for a walk on the beach or something.” But he was like, “No, I´m going to rent a motorcycle,” and the whole entouage marches off to the lobby and Jim goes up to the lobby girl and he says, “I want to rent a motorcycle. Is this possible?”
And I´m standing next to him saying, “No, no, he doesn´t want to rent a motorcycle.” And she´s looking from him to me, and he said, “Don´t pay any attention to her,” and he pats me on the stamach and kisses me on the cheek and he says, “This is my wife.” And I said, “Please Jim don´t.”
So all these people are standing there, they´re all standing there and don´t know what to do. So she calls and rents the motorcycle and they´re are all standing in the lobby and I just quietly walked outside and the motorcycle came and I said to the guy, “We won´t be needing you today, thank you very much,” and he drove off.
I went back in and I said, “Jim, the motorcycle´s gone,” and he did that little smile and he turned around and walked off. I saw him later, sometime before the gig that night, and he came to me, and he said, “Thanks.”
I just had wonderful experiences with him. I remember walking into the office one day, and I wish I could remember the exact phrase - I did for years and now I’ve forgotten it - but I opened the door and went walking in and there were people sitting on the couch and Jim was there and he said, “Look at her, she brings the sun into the room.” It was just wonderful. He used to say wonderful things.
He always kissed me on the cheek. It was kind of him being a respectful, sweet, playful person. He knew I was married and that was that boundary. We had an attraction, but it was almost like, “Gee, if I was some other kind of man I could have had this kind of life, I could have had this kind of woman and I could have had this baby and I could have had dinner here...”
I really got that feeling that he would come and connect and have some family with us. He would have a little family life, a little normalcy.
I think I was a symbol of that for him.”
Cheri Siddons Chapter in “Jim Morrison: Friends Gathered Together” by Frank Lisciandro and Steve Wheeler
