Ashcroft claimed co-authorship of many of Morrison's songs and much of his poetry, alleged that both she and Morrison suffered abuse and had Pamela Courson Morrison admitting to Morrison's murder. The immediate problem in judging the veracity of Wild Child was that anyone who could confirm Ashcroft's story first hand was dead, missing, or had no memory of the events reported in Wild Child .
Little things bother.
Some of Ashcroft's physical descriptions of Morrison were remembered quite differently by women who had been intimate with the rock star. Ashcroft maintains that Morrison called her frequently and talked sometimes for hours. Jim called with no hello. When asked, more than one close friend recalled Morrison's intense dislike for anything but the shortest of phone conversations. His love for cilantro was noted by this writer, who happily let Morrison grab the herb from her salad, so she wouldn't have to eat it.
