# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  James Douglas Morrison founded the Doors with Ray Manzarek in Venice in 1965. They spent two years unknown before "Light My Fire" hit number one and pulled them into prominence. Across six studio albums Morrison wove spoken word into live sets and pushed performances toward provocation — arrested on stage in New Haven in 1967, embroiled in legal trouble after a Miami show in 1969. The notoriety fed the band's reputation as symbols of 1960s defiance, but Morrison's drinking began affecting his ability to perform. On July 3, 1971, he died unexpectedly in Paris at 27. Conflicting witness reports and no autopsy left the cause disputed. The Doors recorded two more albums, then split.
