Yesterday, I happened across X drummer D.J. Bonebrake’s Wikipedia page, which contained this mind-blowing nugget:
(Born Andrew Morrison, younger brother of rock legend Jim Morrison of The Doors)
I looked for any online confirmation. The best I could do was a comment on Brooklyn Vegan:
you realize “DJ Bonebrake” is Andrew Morrison, younger brother of James Daniel Morrison, aka theThe Lizard King
So, is this bit of trivia actually true, and did anyone here know this? (More frighteningly, is this common knowledge I’ve just embarrassed myself by admitting I didn’t know it?)
Also, note the above clip (from the awesome X: The Unheard Music) in which Manzarek claims he first learned about X by reading a concert review in a newspaper? Does this mean he actually passed up an opportunity to mention Jimbo?
Oats, I’d NEVER heard this. Even if it’s not true, my mind is blown. If true, this could change the space-time continuum of rock ‘n roll.
No fear. The space-time continuum is stable: http://www.djbonebrakemusic.com/bio.html
I hated to kill a good troll, but…

Geez Oats how ’bout a little fact checking? I haven’t felt so betrayed since Matt Drudge convinced us for a weekend that Bill Clinton had a black love child.
I do think John Doe is related to the famous iconic “John Doe” though…
I read on the internets that Exene changed her name because her real name was Jane Doe.
This is why my son’s school doesn’t allow the students to use Wikipedia for research.
about 3 years ago, my friend mike told me that andy kaufman had come out of hiding, and was in fact alive, and had faked his death.
i called 10 people and told them immediately.
i sure felt silly.
No need to wallow in the mire, Oats.
