BRETT MEISNER IN THE MEDIA

​

Brett Meisner's career can be divided into three chapters. The first was before Jim Morrison's ghost, when he was a respected journalist and rock critic with decades of experience. The second began in 1997, when a photograph taken at Morrison's Paris grave transformed him into a paranormal sideshow attraction, burying his professional accomplishments beneath the shadow of the legendary Doors frontman. Despite his efforts to escape the notoriety, the ghost refused to leave him alone.

 

The third chapter promised redemption. Meisner reinvented himself as a screenwriter, finally emerging from Morrison's shadow -- until he stumbled upon a sinister conspiracy that would destroy his career and nearly cost him his life.

​

Today, Meisner remains a reluctant celebrity in the mythology surrounding Jim Morrison. The following television appearances, radio interviews, guest spots, and one ill-fated press conference document the media circus that engulfed him.
