I Didn't Know that ...
... Doors singer Jim Morrison's dad was born in good old Rome, GA. Jim Morrison's father died last month; he was a Navy admiral.
In a 1992 visit to Paris, I came across Jim Morrison's grave (photo here; scroll down) during a visit to Pere La Chaise Cemetery. I say "came across" because I wasn't there to join to the ongoing party at Morrison's grave site; I was there looking for the burial site of Jean Baptiste Say. Other famous people buried there include Chopin, Oscar Wilde, and Richard Wright.
