​

The clash of generations opposing him to his son, dominated by a deep feeling of incomprehension for one and a rejection of all forms of parental and military authority for the other, has never been able to be mitigated before young Jim's untimely death in Paris in July 1971.

​

He also made the choice to join personally and physically alongside DOORS drummer John Densmore during a long trial to defend his son's legacy in American courts, despite his advanced age!
