Yep, life is strange.
I think that the most interesting thing about his story is his relationship w his dad, a Navy Admiral. They were estranged when Jim became successful w The Doors. Someone brought a record over and played it for his dad and dad wrote Jim a letter telling him to give up any hope of a music career due to his total lack of talent in the field.
Later on, after Jim's death, his father changed his opinion and considered his son a great poet and writer. It's a myth that his dad was some big redneck, he was actually a very cultured and intelligent man. He loved his son very much.
