After high school Morrison spent two years studying theater and philosophy at Florida State University, but ultimately decided to relocate to Los Angeles in order to enroll in the film department at UCLA, where he immersed himself in the emerging hippy culture that was prevalent in and around Venice Beach.
It was on Venice Beach that Morrison first showed his poetry to struggling musician and fellow student Ray Manzarek; Manzarek was impressed and immediately suggested that they create a band together.
Morrison's reputation did not experience a corresponding lull, however, and a charge of indecent exposure brought against him in Miami in 1969 effectively maintained his presence in the headlines (while also putting the future of the Doors in question for the duration of the trial).

Being a then-undiscovered poet influenced by the likes of Allen Ginsberg and Jack Kerouac, Morrison was asked if he would sing some of his offbeat lyrics over a few jams that The Doors had been working on.
Then later that same year, during the early morning of July 3, Jim Morrison was discovered dead in his bathtub due to a lethal mixture of alcohol and heroin (mysteriously, however, Jim had often spoken of his hatred of heroin and his fear of needles); he was only twenty-seven years old.
Morrison was an avid drug user and publicly attested to this fact on many occasions.

 Frequently Asked Questions About Foster
Stephen Foster was born in a "White Cottage" located at 3600 Penn Avenue in what is now the Lawrenceville section of Pittsburgh.
Stephen Foster and the Rise of American Popular Culture, "Stephen Foster is at the heart of the tangled, tortuous interchange between whites and fls that both dishonors America and yet distinguishes its culture worldwide." Later in the book, Emerson confirms that despite its controversy, Foster's music is part of who we are:
Some schools do continue to use Foster's songs as part of their music education, but there are many educators who shy away from the songs out of fear of what their association with them could be interpreted to mean and out of reluctance to contextualize the songs for their students and their audience.

 Amazon.com: Merrily We Roll Along (1981 Original Broadway Cast): Music: Stephen Sondheim,Jim Walton,Lonny Price   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
The reasons have been well documented: a youthful, inexperienced cast; cheesy sets and costumes; and, most of all, a confusing plot structure that starts in 1980 with bitter, cynical characters and winds its way backward to 1955, when a high school graduating class is dreaming of making its mark on the world.
The main focus is on three friends (Jim Walton, Ann Morrison, and Lonny Price) who share musical ambitions but are gradually driven apart by the turbulence and fragmentation of their lives and the America around them.
Mary Flynn: Ann Morrison (OBC) is quite talented, and did an excellent portrayal of an angsty teen late in the play, particularly in the second half of "Our Time".
