Jim Morrison gets four-city tribute in India

"Your our child, screamin' wild... An ancient lunatic reigns. In the trees of the night," DJ David Masilamani aka Black Jack quotes from rock legend Jim Morrison's track 'Wild Child' as he begins his Morrison tribute tour covering four cities to mark the iconic rock musician's 49th death anniversary.

"The lyrics capture the soul of the maverick musical genius who was a musician, songwriter poet and filmmaker - all in one," the Hyderabad-based DJ said.

The tribute tour opens at Cafe Morrison in the capital on Sunday, July 4 and travels to Visakhapatnam, Pune and Bangalore over a fortnight.

Masilamani, one of the country's oldest DJ and founder of India's first Internet radio, Myopusradio.com, describes the concerts as "his date with The Door's lead vocalist" who died young at 27 on July 3, 1971.

"It is all our date," he adds in his open invite to fans on Facebook.
