6/3/1983 - Giving in to the voices in his head as he suffers from undiagnosed schizophrenia (his doctors unfortunately believe he is just one more drunken and drug addled rock-and-roller), legendary (Eric Clapton will call him "the best drummer in rock-n-roll" as will Ringo Starr) 37-year-old Los Angeles drummer and Grammy winner (for co-writing Layla), James "Jim" Beck Gordon, murders his mother, 72-year-old Osa Marie Gordon.
Jim Gordon is born in New Jersey on July 14, 1945, Dying from natural causes, Gordon, prisoner #C89262, finally passes away at the medical facilities of Vacaville on March 13, 2023 at the age of 77 ... hopefully he has now found the peace that was so missing from his life as a mad musician and matricide killer.
While I know who Jim Gordon is/was I had no idea what a tragic and horrific life he led what a waste .
