1.0 out of 5 stars OH DEAR! WHY ME?, September 4, 2008

By

This review is from: A Tale of Two Brothers: Jim Morrison & Michael Hutchence (Paperback)

Someone on The Official Doors Website just asked me about the following quote which appears in Jacqueline Murray's forward of her book "Two Brothers."

The author claims Jim said the following: "The other person I wish to mention, that I have great admiration for is Salli Stevenson. I didn't know her well and it was purely platonic, but she is one of the rare ones who understood me. She was absolutely one of the smartest women I ever met. Salli, can explain me better than most."

After I stopped laughing because I know Jim would never say this, I became angry that Jacqueline Murray would use my name to validate her work without even asking me.

I interviewed Jim Morrison for Circus Magazine in October 1970. We became friends. The last time I spoke to him was in March 1971. Jim knew me very well. I knew him as well as Jim would let me. One of the things about being friends is sharing your lives, things that happened to you, your memories, feelings, ideas, hopes, dreams and nightmares. Jim and I were no different. We shared a lot with each other.

Jim almost never called me Salli. He liked my real name instead. He used my real name 99% of the time. You'd think if Jim really did talk to a medium and mention me, he'd want me to know it was really him, so he'd use the name he liked when he was alive instead of "Salli" to let me know it was really him, wouldn't you?

Obviously Jacqueline Murray didn't know any of this when she quoted "Jim Morrison" about me.

When I first heard of Murray, I checked her blog out. Everything I read about Jim, everything she had "Jim" saying, on her blog was readily available elsewhere. This was two years ago. I contacted one of the other psychics who promoted Murray on Murray's blog, so that I could check Murray out. I was told Murray was still so new in her mediumistic gift that she wasn't able to talk to anyone other than a few close friends. I persisted, got three email addresses and emailed her. Two of the addresses were unable to be delivered. Murray never responded to the one that was delivered. Instead she used my name to make this book seem more than what it is, a research project that uses a fictionalized character of a beyond the grave Jim to tell the story.

Murray has simply done what other authors who never met Jim have done. She has gathered her information from other books, magazines and interviews on The Doors and then given it a unique little twist, a "dead Jim" talking. Unfortunately some of what she attributes to Jim is inaccurate, just like what she said in the forward about the two of us.

Other authors have done a better and more accurate job. I'm also posting this review over on The Doors Board, just in case anyone wants to verify that I wrote this. - Salli Stevenson

I found this book so interesting and detailed,it was living the journey of both Jim and Michael.It filled in the gaps that have been buried with both of these idols,knowing they are both resting in peace is solace for the many fans they left behind mourning them.

Jacqueline Murray handles the chanelling with honesty and respect I salute her gifts and thank her for gifting the book to us all.

This review is from: A Tale of Two Brothers: Jim Morrison & Michael Hutchence (Paperback)

I have very mixed feelings about this book. I think that whether or not one believes that either Jim Morrison or Michael Hutchence are speaking through this woman, or whether or not one is even a fan of either of the aforementioned men, one could learn a lot from reading this book; it has a positive, inspiring message to those of us here on earth, if nothing else.

Now, although I do believe that we go on even after we leave the earth, the matter of Ms. Murray's authenticity is something I am very clouded on and have absolutely no way of knowing. I am not familiar enough with Michael Hutchence's life to know if this is the case with his volume of the book, but the section on Jim Morrison is something that pretty much anybody could construct themselves after extensive research on his life (with a little fanfiction on Murray's part regarding his "true eternal soul mate," conveniently somebody he never met on earth), and I especially stand by this statement now that I have read a review by somebody who actually knew Jim Morrison and has basically said the same thing.

I would like to believe that this is a work of nonfiction and that both men have found the peace and happiness they didn't find here and want to save the world from meeting their tragic fates (Michael Hutchence especially is portrayed in this book as a very warm individual that anybody would want to know), but in some cases, you've just got to think logically.

Another big red flag for me was what seemed like Murray's constant underlying need to glorify herself and her gift; she is almost as much the subject of the book as Jim and Michael are! Psychic pals of hers toot her horn loudly all throughout the book, Morrison and Hutchence both go on about how special she is and how everyone on the other side is just clamoring to be near her light force and how no other channel could ever suffice because she is part of their special soul group. Most unnervingly, Murray includes a "channeled" poem from Hutchence to her, saying something along the lines of "I have loved many women, I have a beautiful daughter, but you, my angel, are special to me like no other." ...Really? For her to insinuate that she is more special to him than his own child is just going too far, I think; that reads like teenage fanfiction, born of the author's own fantasies involving the subject (Murray does state in the book she was much more of an INXS fan than a Doors fan and, while I am unsure of her age, comes across as being in the right age group to have been an admirer of Hutchence at the height of his popularity).

I see now that she has written another book, with additional channelings from her old pals Morrison and Hutchence and it seems that Jimi Hendrix, Kurt Cobain and Sid Vicious are now also in her dead rockstar little black book. As the title of my review states, it seems a bit too much as though she's trying to establish herself as a sort of psychic Pamela Des Barres to really take this seriously. Not to mention the fact that Murray claims that Morrison and Hutchence told her that the current pope would die at the end of 2008 and here we are in the middle of March 2010 and he is still alive.

I give it three stars for sheer entertainment value and for the valuable lessons one could learn by reading it, even if it's inaccurate and at times comes across a bit fanfiction-y, like the horribly overrated Twilight series except with dead rockstars duking it out for the attention of the oh-so-special psychic soul sister instead of vampires and werewolves duking it out for the attention of the oh-so-special Mary Sue self-inserted by the author for her own wish fulfillment purposes.

Read if you want to, enjoy it, learn from it, hell, even believe it if you want to, but take it with a grain of salt.
