Ian Ayres @ Jim Morrison grave (July 1989)

At the grave of Jim Morrison. (Jim Morrison was placed in a standard simple french veneered coffin and a direct burial was completed at the fascinating Cimetière du Père-Lachaise in eastern Paris. A stone block was placed over his sealed grave after many attempts to unearth the grave were made by fans of the occult and mysticism who came from around the world, performed devil worship rites, sexual orgies and had plain drug parties at the grave site. They came over the walls at night. Security guards with dogs patrolled the grounds while cameras to survey the grave were installed along with night lighting. Litter, wine bottles, drug needles and graffiti were left behind.)
