And it was dumb and juvenile of him to say that. It did not serve his ends. Nor the band's. He knew he was self-destructive. He couldn't help it, like the bad kid in school. The real victims were the other Doors who had to put up with Jim's shit, like having their tour canceled after his Miami antics.

The movie isn't a good source, please don't take information from it. Biggest load of lies in a biopic ever, really unfair on Morrison he deserves a much better depiction of his life, an icon and genius.
Nice to know there's somebody out there who knows The Doors movie was BS. It's nothing but Olive Stone's drug addled hallucination. The saving grace was Val Kilmer's performance. Much love from Ohio, Miss Phoebe. :-)
I knew a girl who qualified to be a doctor. She told me that others in the hospital she started working at were making mistakes all of the time and getting everyone else to ratify their story to cover up their mistakes. It was so bad that she gave up the profession, as she just couldn't bullshit like that when patients and their families were suffering because of it. You can only imagine how much more so that is with the police....
It happens everywhere in almost every profession. Honest people are hard to come by and are often ground down to nubs by society’s bullshitters till they go full hermit or join the shitheads
49 years ago today the burning comet Jim Morrison left us. He was an ultimate warrior from a military family that could not find a place in this world/society.
Jim was the Real face,and behavior.of Rock & Roll. Morrison in many occasion. Said. THERE'S NO WAY, TO BEHAVE IN A ROCK & ROLL CONCERT. too much true. just look right now in 2018 and back on time after he's death.👍
As a 22 yr old, I was walking home one night with a friend. He could be loud...speaking his mind was a habit. We were asked by a cop in a paddy wagon (this was 1984 or something.) what was in our bags...& we cooperated! Off to the station after bouncing us around in back of wagon for 1/2 hour. Long story short - I wanted to call an older friend of mine who was practising Law - cop very obliging to me allowed this but my friend said " DON'T GO IN THERE - THE CAMERAS ARE ONLY OUT HERE!!!!" sure enough , as soon as I got into this 'ante-room' He whaled on me My entire back was black. I sailed over the desk &crumpled - hit from behind by a 230 lb cop. We had no criminal records, were sober, and our bags contained books and papers - University days - we spent the night in a cell with some unsavoury characters& in the morning bid the cops adieu and went to my house for steak & eggs -after a good shower - my Girlfriend at the time was the one to notice the bruise as I was getting out of the shower. I complained to the captain but it was all whitewashed...incident officially did not occur. So in most cases, such as morrison's I have no doubt he was roughed up especially after pushing the cop. Bastards.
No cops don't lie , ever especially Connecticut cops , LoL they even look like Nazis ,it was pretty funny when jim threw 1 of their hats to the crowd though
I actually believe the cop on this one because if "10 cops" beat the shit out of Morrison (as initially described by Tommy from the opening band). He'd be pretty beaten up. In the video clip of the arrest, which was only a little later that night. You can see Morrison looks just fine. Not a scratch on his face. This was obviously the peak moment of Tommy's career (the band didn't go anywhere)... I'm sure this is a story he loves telling. I'd say there's a very good chance he's just told this story a thousand times and over 5 decades... it's gotten more than a bit sensationalized. It actually doesn't even make sense that there would be 10 cops in or around that tiny little bathroom over a couple of hippies having sex.
The thing about exercising that first amendment right is, you have to be prepared for blow back. Many a donnybrook started over someones' right to free expression.......
Now we know that Tommy Janette was the asshole who got Morrison busted. Nobody went to the concert to see Tommy Janette and his stupid unknown band. Everyone went there to see Morrison and the Doors. And Tommy Janette got Morrison busted. I'm surprised that Tommy isn't ashamed to show his face.
I believe that fellow musician pulled rank on Jim and also I find it very hard to believe that the guy fellow musician had no idea it was Jim Morrison from the Doors considering the Doors were pretty much established by then.
'67 time moved much slower then. And could be their taste in music was very different. If that pic of them is from '67, they look like they were still stuck in 1964 or earlier (with no disrespect to them intended). Years pass before stuff from CA. get over here to the New England area. Just a thought.
UberLummox i noticed in the clip from the movie the audience was dressed as if it was San Francisco in 1969! I doubt there were many hippies in CT in 1967!
@@omenroc1 nope, doesn't have to be BS, someone just asked them to play, probably a local promotor. There is no reason whatsoever, at that time, they should have known who the hell that guy was. My guess would be they knew something from the Doors doesn't mean if they met someone of the Doors they would know. Things were very different back then.
What an interesting set of interviews, I knew his dad was an Admiral in the Navy but had never seen him speak before. You can tell he was as straight laced as they came, and Jim was as wild as they ever made them, what a strange contrast of personalities. I'm sure Jim loved and respected his father, but you can see why he had little contact with him after he broke with the Doors. His sister was the perfect age to be a Doors fan even if it wasn't her brother. I'd love to hear her speak extensively about the music itself and her relationship to it while it was happening and now as an adult. I'll bet she loved and loves that music, it just seems like a fit. It's also nice for them that his legacy continues, and people still talk about him and still love the music they created so long ago. Can it all really have been over 50 years ago now? Wow that's difficult to wrap my head around. Jim's a legend now, he'll never grow old, never fade away, forever young, that's what dying like that will do to you. It's not great for living, but it sure does let you make the leap to the everlasting. I hope I die before I get old indeed.
The band that dared to stand on the edge, shake up the Status Quo and didn't give a damn about being politically correct. They were one in a million. Pretty crazy of them to rob one of the most famous guys right on stage.
That Stone movie was one of the worst movies I've ever seen- gross misrepresentation of Jim and replete with inaccuracies. I miss you Jim, you were the man
Jim was years ahead in time musically and maybe more ..that never is acceptable in society. As a musician he was everything from clasic to. Punk to the very best alternative rok ever written to performance. His idealism was youthful but yet in line to the normal immature reflection of any 20 something..Jim was genuine with many parts the one youthful is the killer of his life .the others were a blessing to us all. mr.Jim Morrison was a genius with words of poetry enlightened thru music. To sad he is not here today I'm sure he would be much more than a writer / musician/ entertainer ..he I'm sure would have much more to do .yet God in his infinite wisdom has allowed Jim to not remain maybe another extension in his life is being used now .I just wish Jim realized then how much he could have accomplished by his writing and how truly blessed he was maybe he would have taken care of the gift way better .
Jonathan Bierman when you’re the frontman to the hottest band you have access to that kind of means if he didn’t have it on him I’m sure he had it western unioned to him
@@misshair They didn't make much money, really. The record company kept 95% of the royalties. So that was a little more than 1% for each of the band members.
Jim always had hidden innuendos before situations where to occur .He was highly intelligent and extremely passive aggressive.When his rage would subside,he would abuse chemicals and alcohol to best filter his bottles up past negative feelings and emotions he kept deep down inside.Theres something traumatizing that happened to him more than once.Im assuming repetitive sexual ,emotional ,mental abuse.He had so much rage ,he knew it would come out .His intelligence would set everything up early he would self destruct and still come out as the victim even years later.Yes he knew he needed enough money that nite.Jim knew what he was going to do .Jim was gaslighted by a parent.He stayed inside his head for a reason.He learned by a early that he carried up to his death ,that he not permitted to share his feelings or his gaslighted abuse.JIM did for the times did what he could do. One of his parents kept Jim gaslighted .The reoccurring incidents is prompted by one of them who kept him gaslighted.Jim was being manipulated by parent who wanted full control of their own selfish ego.The parent did have to be there I'm assuming the phone was used to light Jim's Fires on more than one occassion.The dad I'll say it fucked Jim's head up .THe incidents that happen were all around important events .The dad would make the phone call set jim off he would act out ,while dads at home kicked back watching everything unfold on t.v. or radio.Jim did his best to filter his dads bullshit in his head.I really don't think you know the hell Jim went thru.Being Gaslighted Is A Mother fucker!!!!
Lenny Bruce was arrested a number of times on stage for saying fuck amongst other things.. he was a comedian.. so Jim Morrison was a rock and roll star.. I guess you could say Jim Morrison was the first rock and roll star to be arrested on stage.. but Lenny Bruce preceded him as a comic.. stand-up comic by a number of years as to be being arrested n' pulled out off stage from nightclubs .
Clyde Wikins His dad was an U.S. admiral, and at one time was in charge of the entire Atlantic fleet. After his dad scoffed at him for want to quit FSU and study film in LA, Jim never spoke to him again. Jim’s brother and sister didn’t even know he was in a band.
It was later proved that Mr. Morrisons' origional meaning of, "Peace Frog" was an anti abortion song. I still believe it is exceptionally cool that I live a few towns away from New Haven. I also got to see the cover band, "Riders on the Storm" in New Haven which, was an amazing experience.
I saw the Doors in Cleveland in 1968. The music was wonderful as the other 3 Doors played so well. Morrison opened up with "Break on Through" and he was terrible. His voice sounded like a grunting frog. I was disappointed for awhile. I loved the Doors and I thought "he's fucking around, he's not being serious." And I think I paid all of $6 dollars for my seat. But then they broke into "When the Music's Over" and the entire band was simply wonderful. Jim was drunk as usual but he sang beautifully. Jim's "drug of choice" was most often just good old alcohol. And he became a "crazy drunk", not a "gentle drunk." The concert ended in a big fight with the crowd rushing the stage and security throwing them off. Morrison was into this confrontational "event" thing at the time. It made for an uneven performance. If the Doors had simply played it straight, they could have been the greatest rock group of all time and might still be performing. But, Jim was Jim, and I think his drive to self immolation was part of his mystique. He died at just 27 years old.
I know exactly what you mean by that but you can not deny the existence of the lyrics “blood in the streets of the town of New Haven”. It most likely does have relations to the event that occurred at the New Haven concert and police.
I was there ..and after they took him off the stage we went back stage and saw Ray talking to someone... chairs went flying up onto stage and tear gas went off I believe.. and the funny thing is I went out the the girl who was with him before the show in the room the cop maced him. She confessed that to me while going out with her.. Ha. Glad those days are over..
There was a Kevin Morrison on the New Haven Nighthawks hockey team.They began in 1972 in the new "New Haven Coliseum".The Arena was about 5 minutes from the Coliseum.The New Haven Blades of the E.H.L.Played there to 1972.A radio icon in the Elm City played for them in the '50's-'60's before he became a radio personality in New Haven.His name is Ron Roemer.I hear Jim got arrested in Miami too,maybe in an arena that housed a short lived hockey team called the "Screaming Eagles".
Lindy Primo They usually kept 2 or 3 Ushers / Ticket takers by the main entrance and one police officer. They would have around 10 -12 Ushers spread out inside the Arena to help people find their seats . That night they had around 8 to 10 police officers inside the main section of the Arena . They would check the Exit Doors to make sure no one was sneaking in
As far as guards or security for that night they had a few more police that night due to problems at other Doors Shows. They had around 10 police that night. They always had one officer by the main entrance and the rest spread out with usually a few by the stage
james cooper Hey, I read that years ago in his biography No One Here Gets Out Alive. What original poem are you talking about? Not saying I’m 100% right, couldn’t the poem also have a double meaning?
Stephanie Daniel Read it in a biography I read. Not saying there’s other meanings or it’s gospel truth. There was certainly blood in the streets of New Haven. Jim got off on control crowds.
tricky205, I’ve read so much on the Doors and can’t remember one book from another....I thought No One Here Gets Out Alive was the most sensationalistic and most shallow. But it gets credit for being the first of many, many books to come. Anyway, yeh, the original poem (I don’t know where to find it) was about abortion; it did not have (according to one book) lines like “blood in the streets of the town of Chicago” (Dem. Convention, police riot) “Blood in the streets of the town of New Haven” (Jim’s arrest). I was convinced (by whoever wrote) that, for the song, Jim shifted the abortion theme and changed the blood metaphor to refer to the violence of the 60s, youth culture etc. Jim wrote some great lyrics about the 60s. Texas Radio and the Big Beat is clearly a reflection on the 60s, though there are several lines I just don’t get!
First, The story told by Stone was written into script by Stone and not part of reality. The cop that maced Jim was black. Second when Jim was taken off stage the was dragged downt he steps at the back of the tage into the "Tunnel" that ran under the arena seats. While two police held Jim's arms. a 3rd stood in front and punched Jim several times. (The next morning Jim complained that his jaw hurt) a 4th stood behind Jim and pounded his back with his fist and forearm. This went on for perhaps 1 or 2 minutes. Jim was then taken through the tunnel (to the left, facing the audience) to the parking lot where he was further abused and put in a police car. There were 5 witnesses to this beating. These people then took charge of clearing the stage of equipment and put it into a rented truck. Bill Siddons, then a 19 year old "Road Manager" for the group, went to the station to see what he could do about the situation. When he returned, the equipment as in the truck, ready to go to the airport the next morning. Two other people were arrested for photographing the abuse in the parking lot. It was not two or 3 songs in. It was in the middle of LIGHT MY FIRE. The Promoter paid the bond. There were only 2 reporters in the parking lot and they did not get in the way of the police. They took photos of Morrison falling on the ground and being kicked and pummeled. The police attempted to confiscate the film. The photographer from Life Magazine raised the 1st amendment issue. After the 4 witnesses agreed to testify in court and pressure from Life's lawyers of the arrest, the issue was dropped. The phrase used "...The whole world hates me, The whole F...... world hates me." Jim was not a violent person. He did NOT push the cop and Jim did not swear at people. This is an altered version of what really went on in the dressing room. The Stone version of the Doors is not accurate. and for the most part an imaginary representation by Stone of his interpretation of a story written by an obscure groupie whose only claim to fame was being "Jim's confidant" when he was only 14 years old. We do acknowledge that the only relationship that might exist between a 14 year old and a 24 year old would be kept confidential. That did not happen. The author of the book was little more than a pesky groupie turned publicity seeker. His book which flattering to Jim and not entirely truthful, was based on research, interviews and recordings done by Jerry Hopkins. It was Hopkins intention to write the book detailing the history and development of The Doors and the people directly associated with them. The witnesses. Marc Visconti (N. Andover, MA Manager of The Organ Factory). Steve Moore, (Lead Guitarist, The Organ Factory, Andover Mass), Brian Gidley, (Drummer, The Organ Factory, Lawrence Mass), Denis Daigle, (Bass Guitarist, The Organ Factory, Lawrence Mass) and one other person (Sponsor of The Organ Factory, Andover Mass) who later became associated with The Doors.
The “blood” in the streets mentioned throughout Peace Frog is a metaphor-duh-Jim never meant there was a massacre in N Haven. Also, you’d can hear the sound of mace spraying in Peace Frog right after Jim sings the words “New Haven.”
james cooper I believe he thought the people who instigated his arrest were bloody people. The explanation of the race riots in major cities is good, too, and I believe he just put them all together, and was saying that blood was on the rise. Compare to "Gimme Shelter" for the feeling of that time. I think he had his own particular position in this, as he probably saw it. Between his dad's involvement in Vietnam, and the other things he was connected to, he probably felt 'uniquely doomed', for lack of a better way to say it: he was no "fortunate son". He was well aware of the fact that, while there are honorable and decent protectors in the military, there are some really nasty ones, and he was standing up to them. He thought the so-called Beltway was one of the worst places on earth, if not the worst, including Beltway Virginia and Beltway Maryland. So he felt pretty doomed. Someone on here a week or two ago, also mentioned the Manson killings as a possible explanation for Peace Frog. But of course they spun it as if Jim was sinisterly approving of that kind of violence, all that blood, like so many who show up on Jim's/Doors' videos do. That was ridiculous; it's completely out of character, since Jim hated violence more than most people, although he had this 'realist' turn of mind about it from his military upbringing. But they had met those people and been to that ranch. Apparently everyone was terrified of them; if Terry Melcher and Denny Wilson could be terrified of them, why not Jim? That was certainly an unthinkable addition to the "rising tide" of blood in America, on top of the war, the assassinations, the riots, protesters beaten, and the growing love of violent entertainment. He would likely feel like blood was following him out of a son's guilt over his father's involvement in Vietnam, too.
Jim Morrison was chased out of America by the government . They were so scared of his influence and character a great shame he was the greatest frontman in history with the voice of a man a thousand years old . Was just listening to the Doors last night they were amazing RIP Jim and Ray
Jim didn’t die in ‘71. Read The Poet in Exile written by Ray. Jim was sick of being a rockstar for teenage girls to drool over by that time. That’s why he gained a bunch of weight and grew the beard. He was a poet/philosopher first and view a rock band as a way to get his writing out to the public. No one (other than Pamela, allegedly) ever saw his body. By the time his manager got to Paris (the next day) his coffin was already sealed. Two years later Pam allegedly dies from od’ing. She went to join him. Wouldn’t fucking surprise me!
I grew up in New Haven.My family still owns a dry cleaners on Union Ave.,which is just up the road from where the Arena&the New Haven Coliseum was.Sly Williams,who played in the N.B.A.,grew up in the projects in back of it.I saw him pick up his clothes in a Mercedes about 1980 or so.The P.D.Is located@1 Union Ave.,across from the Union Station Railroad.
Peace Frog isn't about this incident. The lyrics are from a poem by Jim Morrison called "Abortion Stories" and it's about abortions. Robbie Krieger tells the story here: ua-cam.com/video/p24lgQv1r8w/v-deo.html Also, $7500 back in 1967 is equal to $57,455 in 2018 dollars. Jim had that much in his wallet???
I love the doors but it sounda like Morrison was the aashole on this night. I always thought he was protesting against police brutality in the back room. The Doors are still Kings of Rock.
Bond was set at $7,500 so Jim only needed $750 to get out of jail. Still a nice chunk of change back then but c'mon. Listen to Ray Manzarek's version of events to get what I think is probably the most accurate account of what happened.
Trust me on this people.if you got enough jack to bond yourself out.nothing pisses off a local cop more than a smart assed hippy wit the cash to carry him outta there yeah it get really violent. They want to steal that money from you cause you resisted they hate a wiseguy.bet he never got it back eithrr i been there. D.u.i. in a hick town .they wilk beat you down if you a hippy
I was enjoying the bit of background of this piece of history. That is until they mentioned Peace Frog. According to an interview with Bobby Krieger, Bobby had written a new quitar riff. A riff he very much enjoyed, but had no lyrics to put to it. He brought the riff to Jim, a poet by nature, figuring he could help him with lyrics. Jim looked in his many poetry journals and found a poem that works with the quitar riff Bobby wrote. The poem was about abortion. The song is about abortion. Listen to it again and apply this information.
The Doors are my favorite band of all time and always will be, but Jim Morrison was an asshole who hated authority and got into trouble since he was a kid. I'm not trying to give him a bad rap but he was always looking to stir up trouble. He got busted on several occasions and even on a flight. I don't thing he was meant to be on this planet for too long. He was highly intelligent, very philosophical, wrote beautiful and thought proving poetry and was gifted with good looks. He really had it all but it just got to be too much for him. What they accomplished in 5 years is amazing. But the fact remains that Jim was a troubled individual and if he talked to the cops like that then he deserved to get his ass kicked.
I'm probably the only one who can tell you that , he used to tell me he wanted to die young, I would ask him why ???? He answered that he doesn't want the problems, old folks got, and it would be a disrespectful thing , to God, if he took his own life , so he wrote it in his lyrics The End......
I am one of maybe a thousand of his sons, he helped lots of actors, and musicians , what the cops did to him, was not a fraction, of what he did to them Everytime he was confronted by them, when alone .... I was there
Jim was the shit, 50 years ahead of his time. The doors were the American Beatles, the best American band. Ever. He was the lizard king, he can do anything
Robbie said it was a song Jim wrote about abortions, that he was sad about a current GF having an abortion, it was in Chicago, not New Haven and "Blood in the streets" was a dramatic expression in Jim's poetry about the abortion. So they jumbled shit around. But hey, I just watch interviews and commentaries like everyone else. I'm 57 this June and wouldn't know as I was not there, and most who were either are dead, don't remember, or would rather remember that special era with fond memories. I'll take Robbie, Ray and John's rendition over anyone's all day.
You know none to of you really know who Jim Morrison was!! Yes he was rebellious, he took life to the extreme and he took crazy crazy chances, but you know who else he was? He was a wounded soul. He was still very much a little boy. A little boy whose parents withheld love from him as punishment should he dare step out of line. His Dad was a tyrant he was Navy yes He was an Admiral in the Navy and everything had to look perfect to the outside world but inside the home things were very very difficult for Jim. That’s why Jim always had his nose in a book and was writing poetry by the 2nd grade!! And it wasn’t about happy clowns or free flying balloons it was dark. His hands were in chains for they dare not show the truth.. he was also very intelligent, witty and incredibly sweet! His temper only came out when he’d been drinking. In fact he was one of the most gentle mans you will never know. Alcoholism is an inherited trait and I hate to tell you but Admiral Morrison was an alcoholic.. Jim needed his parents to love him, esp his Dad but that just wasn’t going to happen! So he invented a world he could live in peacefully and on his on terms! THAT IS WHO JIM MORRISON Was!! I know this to be truth & hard facts. He’s gone now so please will you let him RIP!?? He deserves that much after all he gave to the world!!
Gloria Please do NOT Speak ill if the dead and stop coming after my family. You have no clue but small snippets of information of who the public think he his. He’s very talented and if you think other of this than Jim why are you even on this page for him! Jealous MUCH??
Gloria I think you’re a troll just wanting any kind of attention you can get. What have you been Inhaling model glue? You’re definitely on something. Let Jim Rest In Peace ✌🏻
Josslyne Weiss I like that you caught the wounded soul part. That is true. They talk about him like he was some kind of "wild" cartoon character who destroyed himself with "excess". It's just not the kind of person he was.
Blood in the streets of New Haven is a metaphoric expression about a girlfriend who had an abortion. Not about the social tension or post concert riots
Jim Morrison is a legend the guy was such a talented guy with his poetry and his music he was not all about being drunk and going crazy on stage
Rest in peace, The Lizard King, Jim Morrison and Ray Manzarek. Thanks for all the great music and hilarious memories!
There's a lot of good stuff from Ray on YT that he posted before he died.
Man, the 60s were some good times! Long live the Lizard King....
Satanic LOOSERferians yuck!
If I would love to go to the 60s. If crack some hippie heads .
Will always remember Mr Mojo Risin
“This is your last chance to eat me.” Classic Morrison.

He wasn't a dumb ass hippy

Because we put up a front. Everything is idyllic. Look at Facebook. Morrison was all about exposing our lies.
As a 22 yr old, I was walking home one night with a friend. He could be loud...speaking his mind was a habit. We were asked by a cop in a paddy wagon (this was 1984 or something.) what was in our bags...& we cooperated! Off to the station after bouncing us around in back of wagon for 1/2 hour. Long story short - I wanted to call an older friend of mine who was practising Law - cop very obliging to me allowed this but my friend said " DON'T GO IN THERE - THE CAMERAS ARE ONLY OUT HERE!!!!" sure enough , as soon as I got into this 'ante-room' He whaled on me My entire back was black. I sailed over the desk &crumpled - hit from behind by a 230 lb cop. We had no criminal records, were sober, and our bags contained books and papers - University days - we spent the night in a cell with some unsavoury characters& in the morning bid the cops adieu and went to my house for steak & eggs -after a good shower - my Girlfriend at the time was the one to notice the bruise as I was getting out of the shower. I complained to the captain but it was all whitewashed...incident officially did not occur. So in most cases, such as morrison's I have no doubt he was roughed up especially after pushing the cop. Bastards.
Yeah, sure, the cop wouldn't lie about roughing up Jim, now would he?

Of course the cop is gonna cover their department's ass.
I actually believe the cop on this one because if "10 cops" beat the shit out of Morrison (as initially described by Tommy from the opening band). He'd be pretty beaten up. In the video clip of the arrest, which was only a little later that night. You can see Morrison looks just fine. Not a scratch on his face. This was obviously the peak moment of Tommy's career (the band didn't go anywhere)... I'm sure this is a story he loves telling. I'd say there's a very good chance he's just told this story a thousand times and over 5 decades... it's gotten more than a bit sensationalized. It actually doesn't even make sense that there would be 10 cops in or around that tiny little bathroom over a couple of hippies having sex.
exactly what i thought! Plus the new haven arena is now where the FBI building is?! Of course it is haha
I am 16 years old i love the doors and. On jims rant he was exirsizing his first amedment right
The thing about exercising that first amendment right is, you have to be prepared for blow back. Many a donnybrook started over someones' right to free expression.......
Why didn't you just let Jim Morrison have fun with the girl? He didn't steal your money he made you money
Now we know that Tommy Janette was the asshole who got Morrison busted.
Nobody went to the concert to see Tommy Janette and his stupid unknown band. Everyone went there to see Morrison and the Doors. And Tommy Janette got Morrison busted. I'm surprised that Tommy isn't ashamed to show his face.
Do you idiots not listen, he didn't realize it was Morrison at first.
@plaguelock why would he ask him.
because he acted like an asshole, no one is above the law
SLIP NORRIS Fuck the law
Are they actually suggesting that Morrison was obligated to not use hyperbole, poetry or even facts in a rock song?
Sounds like a jealous support band started it ....
Well he was backstage where he wasn’t supposed to be

@@ProMrLecoq01 lol .
I believe that fellow musician pulled rank on Jim and also I find it very hard to believe that the guy fellow musician had no idea it was Jim Morrison from the Doors considering the Doors were pretty much established by then.
There was not as much media output in those days like today.
if they were the opening band for the Doors, they had no idea who Jim was? Smells like BS to me.
'67 time moved much slower then. And could be their taste in music was very different. If that pic of them is from '67, they look like they were still stuck in 1964 or earlier (with no disrespect to them intended). Years pass before stuff from CA. get over here to the New England area. Just a thought.
UberLummox i noticed in the clip from the movie the audience was dressed as if it was San Francisco in 1969! I doubt there were many hippies in CT in 1967!
@@omenroc1 nope, doesn't have to be BS, someone just asked them to play, probably a local promotor. There is no reason whatsoever, at that time, they should have known who the hell that guy was. My guess would be they knew something from the Doors doesn't mean if they met someone of the Doors they would know. Things were very different back then.
Greatest band of all time period!
Agreed
What an interesting set of interviews, I knew his dad was an Admiral in the Navy but had never seen him speak before. You can tell he was as straight laced as they came, and Jim was as wild as they ever made them, what a strange contrast of personalities. I'm sure Jim loved and respected his father, but you can see why he had little contact with him after he broke with the Doors. His sister was the perfect age to be a Doors fan even if it wasn't her brother. I'd love to hear her speak extensively about the music itself and her relationship to it while it was happening and now as an adult. I'll bet she loved and loves that music, it just seems like a fit. It's also nice for them that his legacy continues, and people still talk about him and still love the music they created so long ago. Can it all really have been over 50 years ago now? Wow that's difficult to wrap my head around. Jim's a legend now, he'll never grow old, never fade away, forever young, that's what dying like that will do to you. It's not great for living, but it sure does let you make the leap to the everlasting. I hope I die before I get old indeed.
The cop was just jealous of Jim's girl
nah. It was the jelly donut they were sharing...
Yeah, like I'm ever going to believe that cop. Oh no, we never did "that"

THE greatest band ever they will still be heard hundreds of years from now even if man is gone the doors of perception will flow through the universe
The cops shouldn't have been there in the first place !!
I wonder what happened to the other film footage of the arrest. Considering the climate at that time Jim could have been set up.
The band that dared to stand on the edge, shake up the Status Quo and didn't give a damn about being politically correct. They were one in a million. Pretty crazy of them to rob one of the most famous guys right on stage.
That Stone movie was one of the worst movies I've ever seen- gross misrepresentation of Jim and replete with inaccuracies. I miss you Jim, you were the man
Jim was years ahead in time musically and maybe more ..that never is acceptable in society. As a musician he was everything from clasic to. Punk to the very best alternative rok ever written to performance. His idealism was youthful but yet in line to the normal immature reflection of any 20 something..Jim was genuine with many parts the one youthful is the killer of his life .the others were a blessing to us all.
mr.Jim Morrison was a genius with words of poetry enlightened thru music. To sad he is not here today I'm sure he would be much more than a writer / musician/ entertainer ..he I'm sure would have much more to do .yet God in his infinite wisdom has allowed Jim to not remain maybe another extension in his life is being used now .I just wish Jim realized then how much he could have accomplished by his writing and how truly blessed he was maybe he would have taken care of the gift way better .
I sincerely do not understand how people misinterpret Communications and thumbs down this may you rest in peace James Douglas Morrison

Jim was probably the only one who got arrested inside that building since it's existence
We all deserve our interpretations of our Own views of life on this planet .
Lenny Bruce was arrested before Morrison.
Jim always had hidden innuendos before situations where to occur .He was highly intelligent and extremely passive aggressive.When his rage would subside,he would abuse chemicals and alcohol to best filter his bottles up past negative feelings and emotions he kept deep down inside.Theres something traumatizing that happened to him more than once.Im assuming repetitive sexual ,emotional ,mental abuse.He had so much rage ,he knew it would come out .His intelligence would set everything up early he would self destruct and still come out as the victim even years later.Yes he knew he needed enough money that nite.Jim knew what he was going to do .Jim was gaslighted by a parent.He stayed inside his head for a reason.He learned by a early that he carried up to his death ,that he not permitted to share his feelings or his gaslighted abuse.JIM did for the times did what he could do. One of his parents kept Jim gaslighted .The reoccurring incidents is prompted by one of them who kept him gaslighted.Jim was being manipulated by parent who wanted full control of their own selfish ego.The parent did have to be there I'm assuming the phone was used to light Jim's Fires on more than one occassion.The dad I'll say it fucked Jim's head up .THe incidents that happen were all around important events .The dad would make the phone call set jim off he would act out ,while dads at home kicked back watching everything unfold on t.v. or radio.Jim did his best to filter his dads bullshit in his head.I really don't think you know the hell Jim went thru.Being Gaslighted Is A Mother fucker!!!!
Lenny Bruce was arrested a number of times on stage for saying fuck amongst other things.. he was a comedian.. so Jim Morrison was a rock and roll star.. I guess you could say Jim Morrison was the first rock and roll star to be arrested on stage.. but Lenny Bruce preceded him as a comic.. stand-up comic by a number of years as to be being arrested n' pulled out off stage from nightclubs .
Clyde Wikins His dad was an U.S. admiral, and at one time was in charge of the entire Atlantic fleet. After his dad scoffed at him for want to quit FSU and study film in LA, Jim never spoke to him again. Jim’s brother and sister didn’t even know he was in a band.
Peace frog is not about the arrest in New Haven nor racial tentions
It was later proved that Mr. Morrisons' origional meaning of, "Peace Frog" was an anti abortion song. I still believe it is exceptionally cool that I live a few towns away from New Haven. I also got to see the cover band, "Riders on the Storm" in New Haven which, was an amazing experience.
Check out THE DOORS ALIVE
Everyone was mean to my little angel Jim Morrison. He was just a little angel. 😂
Yes they were jealous of the king! He is truly an angel!
I believe Jim Morrison all the way.
I saw the Doors in Cleveland in 1968. The music was wonderful as the other 3 Doors played so well. Morrison opened up with "Break on Through" and he was terrible. His voice sounded like a grunting frog. I was disappointed for awhile. I loved the Doors and I thought "he's fucking around, he's not being serious." And I think I paid all of $6 dollars for my seat. But then they broke into "When the Music's Over" and the entire band was simply wonderful. Jim was drunk as usual but he sang beautifully. Jim's "drug of choice" was most often just good old alcohol. And he became a "crazy drunk", not a "gentle drunk." The concert ended in a big fight with the crowd rushing the stage and security throwing them off. Morrison was into this confrontational "event" thing at the time. It made for an uneven performance. If the Doors had simply played it straight, they could have been the greatest rock group of all time and might still be performing. But, Jim was Jim, and I think his drive to self immolation was part of his mystique. He died at just 27 years old.
6:34 '1st time..performer...arrested onstage' WRONG On December 5, 1962, Lenny Bruce was arrested on stage at the Gate of Horn folk club in Chicago.
Yeah, I was thinking about Lenny when they said that. I was pretty sure he had been.
I'm glad you mentioned that because I said to myself, "what about Lenny Bruce?"
this is rock and roll history lol

"Peace Frog" is a song about ABORTION.
Sorry New Haven PD. Do not flatter yourselves. You're really not that important.
yes krieger said it, besides, cops are shit, jim wouldn't write a song about those fuckers xDD
I know exactly what you mean by that but you can not deny the existence of the lyrics “blood in the streets of the town of New Haven”. It most likely does have relations to the event that occurred at the New Haven concert and police.
Jim is still the man!
Like 👍
But, I don't like what happened
to Jim Morrison that night. ☑
We are living in a police state, police is not there to protect the people, but to protect those in charge of this world.
So a rival musician called in the cops; setting in motion the end of Morrison and the Doors.
Good report, very interesting 👏
i got this poster/mugshot with all the police info its pretty dope :p
Jim graduated from my high school, George Washington High School in Alexandria Virginia
Peace Frog was written about an abortion nothing to do with this incident.
I'm pretty sure Lenny Bruce was arrested while performing but I could be wrong
You are correct!
After Morrison
They had no right to do they to Jim!!!! They were fucked up to Jim!!!! Jim had no reason to lie... no cops will ever admit to wrongdoing
I was there ..and after they took him off the stage we went back stage and saw Ray talking to someone... chairs went flying up onto stage and tear gas went off I believe.. and the funny thing is I went out the the girl who was with him before the show in the room the cop maced him. She confessed that to me while going out with her.. Ha. Glad those days are over..
how old are you?70.?
68yrs young ha most accounts of the show aren't told well
Jim 68 is the new 38,I know you know.
B-B-B-B-BULLSHIT
Jim hi man. I didn t understand, what she did confess to you?
There was a Kevin Morrison on the New Haven Nighthawks hockey team.They began in 1972 in the new "New Haven Coliseum".The Arena was about 5 minutes from the Coliseum.The New Haven Blades of the E.H.L.Played there to 1972.A radio icon in the Elm City played for them in the '50's-'60's before he became a radio personality in New Haven.His name is Ron Roemer.I hear Jim got arrested in Miami too,maybe in an arena that housed a short lived hockey team called the "Screaming Eagles".
Omg! I remember the New Haven night hawks. I use to go to the hockey games when I was 8yr old. You mentioning that brought back memories.❤
I was back stage at the Arena on that night
Lindy Primo
They usually kept 2 or 3 Ushers / Ticket takers by the main entrance and one police officer. They would have around 10 -12 Ushers spread out inside the Arena to help people find their seats . That night they had around 8 to 10 police officers inside the main section of the Arena . They would check the Exit Doors to make sure no one was sneaking in
As far as guards or security for that night they had a few more police that night due to problems at other Doors Shows. They had around 10 police that night. They always had one officer by the main entrance and the rest spread out with usually a few by the stage
Dude had $7500 in his wallet in 1967. Epic
Ohhhh and cops tell the truth ALLLLL THE TIME.....riiiiiight!

“Blood on the streets” was referring to abortions.
Really
Dead wrong; Jim changed the meaning from the original poem. You think “blood in the streets in the town in New Haven” references abortions? Come on.
james cooper Hey, I read that years ago in his biography No One Here Gets Out Alive. What original poem are you talking about? Not saying I’m 100% right, couldn’t the poem also have a double meaning?
Stephanie Daniel Read it in a biography I read. Not saying there’s other meanings or it’s gospel truth. There was certainly blood in the streets of New Haven. Jim got off on control crowds.
tricky205, I’ve read so much on the Doors and can’t remember one book from another....I thought No One Here Gets Out Alive was the most sensationalistic and most shallow. But it gets credit for being the first of many, many books to come. Anyway, yeh, the original poem (I don’t know where to find it) was about abortion; it did not have (according to one book) lines like “blood in the streets of the town of Chicago” (Dem. Convention, police riot) “Blood in the streets of the town of New Haven” (Jim’s arrest). I was convinced (by whoever wrote) that, for the song, Jim shifted the abortion theme and changed the blood metaphor to refer to the violence of the 60s, youth culture etc. Jim wrote some great lyrics about the 60s. Texas Radio and the Big Beat is clearly a reflection on the 60s, though there are several lines I just don’t get!
First, The story told by Stone was written into script by Stone and not part of reality. The cop that maced Jim was black. Second when Jim was taken off stage the was dragged downt he steps at the back of the tage into the "Tunnel" that ran under the arena seats. While two police held Jim's arms. a 3rd stood in front and punched Jim several times. (The next morning Jim complained that his jaw hurt) a 4th stood behind Jim and pounded his back with his fist and forearm. This went on for perhaps 1 or 2 minutes. Jim was then taken through the tunnel (to the left, facing the audience) to the parking lot where he was further abused and put in a police car. There were 5 witnesses to this beating. These people then took charge of clearing the stage of equipment and put it into a rented truck. Bill Siddons, then a 19 year old "Road Manager" for the group, went to the station to see what he could do about the situation. When he returned, the equipment as in the truck, ready to go to the airport the next morning. Two other people were arrested for photographing the abuse in the parking lot. It was not two or 3 songs in. It was in the middle of LIGHT MY FIRE. The Promoter paid the bond. There were only 2 reporters in the parking lot and they did not get in the way of the police. They took photos of Morrison falling on the ground and being kicked and pummeled. The police attempted to confiscate the film. The photographer from Life Magazine raised the 1st amendment issue. After the 4 witnesses agreed to testify in court and pressure from Life's lawyers of the arrest, the issue was dropped.
The phrase used "...The whole world hates me, The whole F...... world hates me."
Jim was not a violent person. He did NOT push the cop and Jim did not swear at people. This is an altered version of what really went on in the dressing room.
The Stone version of the Doors is not accurate. and for the most part an imaginary representation by Stone of his interpretation of a story written by an obscure groupie whose only claim to fame was being "Jim's confidant" when he was only 14 years old. We do acknowledge that the only relationship that might exist between a 14 year old and a 24 year old would be kept confidential. That did not happen. The author of the book was little more than a pesky groupie turned publicity seeker. His book which flattering to Jim and not entirely truthful, was based on research, interviews and recordings done by Jerry Hopkins. It was Hopkins intention to write the book detailing the history and development of The Doors and the people directly associated with them.
The witnesses. Marc Visconti (N. Andover, MA Manager of The Organ Factory). Steve Moore, (Lead Guitarist, The Organ Factory, Andover Mass), Brian Gidley, (Drummer, The Organ Factory, Lawrence Mass), Denis Daigle, (Bass Guitarist, The Organ Factory, Lawrence Mass) and one other person (Sponsor of The Organ Factory, Andover Mass) who later became associated with The Doors.
Jim was pardoned..eventually....finally December 9, 2010..better late than never, I guess..???
That was for a different offence, indecent exposure charge on Dinner Key in Florida
Really? That's my birthday and it just so happens I'm a huge doors fan,,

The “blood” in the streets mentioned throughout Peace Frog is a metaphor-duh-Jim never meant there was a massacre in N Haven. Also, you’d can hear the sound of mace spraying in Peace Frog right after Jim sings the words “New Haven.”
james cooper
I believe he thought the people who instigated his arrest were bloody people. The explanation of the race riots in major cities is good, too, and I believe he just put them all together, and was saying that blood was on the rise. Compare to "Gimme Shelter" for the feeling of that time. I think he had his own particular position in this, as he probably saw it. Between his dad's involvement in Vietnam, and the other things he was connected to, he probably felt 'uniquely doomed', for lack of a better way to say it: he was no "fortunate son". He was well aware of the fact that, while there are honorable and decent protectors in the military, there are some really nasty ones, and he was standing up to them. He thought the so-called Beltway was one of the worst places on earth, if not the worst, including Beltway Virginia and Beltway Maryland. So he felt pretty doomed.
Someone on here a week or two ago, also mentioned the Manson killings as a possible explanation for Peace Frog. But of course they spun it as if Jim was sinisterly approving of that kind of violence, all that blood, like so many who show up on Jim's/Doors' videos do. That was ridiculous; it's completely out of character, since Jim hated violence more than most people, although he had this 'realist' turn of mind about it from his military upbringing. But they had met those people and been to that ranch. Apparently everyone was terrified of them; if Terry Melcher and Denny Wilson could be terrified of them, why not Jim? That was certainly an unthinkable addition to the "rising tide" of blood in America, on top of the war, the assassinations, the riots, protesters beaten, and the growing love of violent entertainment. He would likely feel like blood was following him out of a son's guilt over his father's involvement in Vietnam, too.
Oh so thats what that sound was
it’s about abortion

Jim Morrison was chased out of America by the government . They were so scared of his influence and character a great shame he was the greatest frontman in history with the voice of a man a thousand years old . Was just listening to the Doors last night they were amazing RIP Jim and Ray
"I am the lizard king! I can do anything!"
Jim didn’t die in ‘71. Read The Poet in Exile written by Ray. Jim was sick of being a rockstar for teenage girls to drool over by that time. That’s why he gained a bunch of weight and grew the beard. He was a poet/philosopher first and view a rock band as a way to get his writing out to the public. No one (other than Pamela, allegedly) ever saw his body. By the time his manager got to Paris (the next day) his coffin was already sealed. Two years later Pam allegedly dies from od’ing. She went to join him. Wouldn’t fucking surprise me!
He’s still a legend
I grew up in New Haven.My family still owns a dry cleaners on Union Ave.,which is just up the road from where the Arena&the New Haven Coliseum was.Sly Williams,who played in the N.B.A.,grew up in the projects in back of it.I saw him pick up his clothes in a Mercedes about 1980 or so.The P.D.Is located@1 Union Ave.,across from the Union Station Railroad.

Peace Frog isn't about this incident. The lyrics are from a poem by Jim Morrison called "Abortion Stories" and it's about abortions. Robbie Krieger tells the story here: ua-cam.com/video/p24lgQv1r8w/v-deo.html

I love the doors but it sounda like Morrison was the aashole on this night. I always thought he was protesting against police brutality in the back room. The Doors are still Kings of Rock.
He was the asshole? Not the cops who beat him up and arrested him for free speech? Okay, bootlicker. Go on with your bad self.
dont site from the oliver stone movie. Its extremely overdramatized and innacurate
Hollywood perverts everything......
Bond was set at $7,500 so Jim only needed $750 to get out of jail. Still a nice chunk of change back then but c'mon. Listen to Ray Manzarek's version of events to get what I think is probably the most accurate account of what happened.
Trust me on this people.if you got enough jack to bond yourself out.nothing pisses off a local cop more than a smart assed hippy wit the cash to carry him outta there yeah it get really violent. They want to steal that money from you cause you resisted they hate a wiseguy.bet he never got it back eithrr i been there. D.u.i. in a hick town .they wilk beat you down if you a hippy
I was enjoying the bit of background of this piece of history. That is until they mentioned Peace Frog. According to an interview with Bobby Krieger, Bobby had written a new quitar riff. A riff he very much enjoyed, but had no lyrics to put to it. He brought the riff to Jim, a poet by nature, figuring he could help him with lyrics. Jim looked in his many poetry journals and found a poem that works with the quitar riff Bobby wrote. The poem was about abortion. The song is about abortion. Listen to it again and apply this information.
long love rock and roll
untold details of one of jim morrison's arrests.
Great stuff the legend of the doors live on!
Feel free to correct me But I think that Lenny Bruce was the first entertainer to be arrested on stage
Jim's life was one of always going too far. That's how he made it. That's how he lived and died.
The Doors are my favorite band of all time and always will be, but Jim Morrison was an asshole who hated authority and got into trouble since he was a kid. I'm not trying to give him a bad rap but he was always looking to stir up trouble. He got busted on several occasions and even on a flight.
I don't thing he was meant to be on this planet for too long. He was highly intelligent, very philosophical, wrote beautiful and thought proving poetry and was gifted with good looks. He really had it all but it just got to be too much for him. What they accomplished in 5 years is amazing. But the fact remains that Jim was a troubled individual and if he talked to the cops like that then he deserved to get his ass kicked.
I'm probably the only one who can tell you that , he used to tell me he wanted to die young, I would ask him why ???? He answered that he doesn't want the problems, old folks got, and it would be a disrespectful thing , to God, if he took his own life , so he wrote it in his lyrics The End......
I am one of maybe a thousand of his sons, he helped lots of actors, and musicians , what the cops did to him, was not a fraction, of what he did to them Everytime he was confronted by them, when alone .... I was there
Im 25 and love Jim .
Jim was the shit, 50 years ahead of his time. The doors were the American Beatles, the best American band. Ever. He was the lizard king, he can do anything
Who carries $7,500 in their wallet

Robbie said it was a song Jim wrote about abortions, that he was sad about a current GF having an abortion, it was in Chicago, not New Haven and
"Blood in the streets" was a dramatic expression in Jim's poetry about the abortion. So they jumbled shit around. But hey, I just watch interviews and commentaries like everyone else. I'm 57 this June and wouldn't know as I was not there, and most who were either are dead, don't remember, or would rather remember that special era with fond memories. I'll take Robbie, Ray and John's rendition over anyone's all day.
You know none to of you really know who Jim Morrison was!! Yes he was rebellious, he took life to the extreme and he took crazy crazy chances, but you know who else he was? He was a wounded soul. He was still very much a little boy. A little boy whose parents withheld love from him as punishment should he dare step out of line. His Dad was a tyrant he was Navy yes He was an Admiral in the Navy and everything had to look perfect to the outside world but inside the home things were very very difficult for Jim. That’s why Jim always had his nose in a book and was writing poetry by the 2nd grade!! And it wasn’t about happy clowns or free flying balloons it was dark. His hands were in chains for they dare not show the truth.. he was also very intelligent, witty and incredibly sweet! His temper only came out when he’d been drinking. In fact he was one of the most gentle mans you will never know. Alcoholism is an inherited trait and I hate to tell you but Admiral Morrison was an alcoholic.. Jim needed his parents to love him, esp his Dad but that just wasn’t going to happen! So he invented a world he could live in peacefully and on his on terms! THAT IS WHO JIM
MORRISON Was!! I know this to be truth & hard facts. He’s gone now so please will you let him RIP!?? He deserves that much after all he gave to the world!!
Gloria Please do NOT Speak ill if the dead and stop coming after my family. You have no clue but small snippets of information of who the public think he his. He’s very talented and if you think other of this than Jim why are you even on this page for him! Jealous MUCH??

Whats with this Weiss she seems to be all over you??
Josslyne Weiss I like that you caught the wounded soul part. That is true. They talk about him like he was some kind of "wild" cartoon character who destroyed himself with "excess". It's just not the kind of person he was.
i'm betting you take meds
Blood in the streets of New Haven is a metaphoric expression about a girlfriend who had an abortion. Not about the social tension or post concert riots
