    Looking at pictures from when Jim Morrison had put on weight, his physical resemblance to Rush Limbaugh becomes clear. They were both natural entertainers. They were both avid readers and introvert-extroverts. Rush Limbaugh's backstory doesn't make sense. He looked nothing like his supposed brother. I don't know of any biography of Rush Limbaugh that goes into great detail about his childhood. One argument against this theory is that Morrison seemed to have a lighter build, but he intentionally restricted his diet so he would look emaciated. Another is the age difference, but Limbaugh looked old for his supposed age. It is pointed out that Limbaugh was already on the radio before Morrison died, but that is not conclusive evidence, since that time is not well documented, and Morrison could have played both "characters" before his supposed death. Some speculate that Morrison/Limbaugh had plastic surgery on his nose to change his appearance. Their voices don't seem too similar, but they were both in the same range, and voice-change surgery would have been possible.

      Slice of orange American and slice of white Monterey Jack. Mayonnaise and white pepper (although I used black in the video).

    So interesting, great idea to give us that back scene tour. Is Mountain Lake Lodge still busy? It looks real empty. Do the current owners really invest in the grounds and property? If I owned it I think I’d spend a lot of time, effort and money on keeping it looking as good as it did on the film. Even if they kept up the pathways, tidied up fallen trees, replanted for conservation, painted the chain link bollards, replaced the gazebo floor like for like and got rid of that hardwood sheeting, purchased a black car like Johnny’s, the one he smashed the side window of etc etc. The 80’s were magic!

    Joe Jackson (besides being a genius in his own genre) he is the Godfather of new wave - English beat / 80s pop. Is she really going out with him - that was the door that would open up that whole 80s scene. Ironic, that the guy who paved the way for Flock of Seagulls and Duran Duran -was actually a Jazz level sting like - super musician. - just like James Brown or Little Richard - he was the act that created a sound that morphed into different acts.

      And if you read a little into his history he had so many interests that he didn’t want to be labeled a pop artist. Some could say it halted his popularity but it has allowed him to venture into different kinds of musical interests. I think I’m going to work on another video about him soon.

    Read the book WEIRD SCENES INSIDE THE CANYON...It looks like the 60’s counterculture was a phenomenon created by the intelligence community along with the Vietnam War which Morrison’s father had a hand in getting started with the “Gulf of Tonkin Incident” all designed your tear America apart. Oliver North’s Secretary Fawn Hall lived in Annandale next to Arlington. She married Morrison biographer Danny Sugarman. Fawn’s mother Wilma was Henry Kissinger’s Secretary and was the Director of the CIA’s secretary when 9/11 occurred. The big question is: Who was Morrison and all these other people working for? Read: THE SECRET ARCHITECTURE OF OUR NATIONS CAPITAL. An ancient occult group carried on today by Freemasonry.

    St. Elmo's Fire is one of my top ten favorite movies. I've always been a fan of Andrew McCarthy. I like his style in movies. This was a really good location matching video. I enjoyed your video. I also do videos and I have a video coming out later this summer about The Allman Brothers Band with location shots in and around Macon, Ga. It may even be in 2-3 parts. Also a separate video of the venues in Macon where many up and coming artists played back in the 50s, 60s, etc, such as Little Richard, James Brown plus others. I hope maybe you will keep a check on my channel and check out these videos when I get them uploaded. I have only been doing videos for a little over a year and still have a long way to go. Thanks.
