Jim Morrison's Grave to honour or dishonour?

Hi all, Just come back from Paris visiting Edith Piaff's grave site in Pere Le Chaise cemitery, covered in fresh flowers every day by friends relatives and fans, I thought I would have a look at Jim Morrison's Grave.

What a contrast, there is a police guard on it to stop people smoking dope and spraying graffiti on his and surrounding graves and dropping reefer stubs all around.

He told me in better English than my French that this has been a constant battle for years and still people sneak in at night and desecrate this grave.

So I ask is it cool to act this way at anothers resting place, pop/rock star or not?

Piaffs grave is admired and respected and kept that way, but what would Jim Morrison's relatives think if they knew of this vandalism

Jim Morrison's Grave to honour or dishonour?
I have mixed feeling about his grave. I really like that it is in Pere Lachaise with all of the other artists. Sorry to sound like a tight *** (why does Yahoo censor minor words?) but I hate the crap that the people do to his grave. Jim wanted to be in Pere Lachiase for a reason, and the reason was not to bring hell to the whole cometary. Really, I doubt why some of those people are fans. I am a HUGE Doors fan and if I went,I mean when I do go :) I would never do that. I would want to act as respectful people do, remembering the person's achievements and your liking for them. These people are just being rude and inconsiderate, they don't see or care how their actions make others look. Them acting this way shows Jim in a negative way, it's like he died and is still causing all this trouble which he is not, and defiantly would not want. The family does know of this vandalism. The cemetery keeps wanting to give Jim the boot, actually I won't be surprised when it finally happens. Jim's family pays money for the cemetery to keep his grave clean and get rid of the graffiti, but a few days later it just comes back again. I heard, and it may just be a rumor, that another bust of Jim is going to be made like seen in the pictures from earlier (someone stole it) Really, Jim deserves better than this, and the people doing things at his grave have the wrong motivations.
Reply:Given Jim's lack of respect for all things establishment, believe it or not, I think he likes having his grave desecrated. Strange answer I know, but from what I've read about him, he would have done it himself too.
Reply:Sick people about and they should enjoy the talent of these artists and leave the dead to themselves.
