PARIS (AP) — Paris on Saturday was the only place to be for die-hard Jim Morrison fans.

Fifty years after his death at age 27, rock music lovers from France and across the world came to the Pere-Lachaise cemetery in eastern Paris where The Doors’ front man is buried. Many brought candles and pictures, and some burned incense sticks near his grave as police watched nearby.

I was so shocked to learn of his death. I remember hanging out at the local university with my cousin and the common room was set up like a shrine to Jim. Sad moment.
