During a recent appearance on Rick Rubin’s Broken Record podcast, The Doors guitarist Robby Krieger and drummer John Densmore remembered how Mick Jagger caught Jim Morrison while on an acid trip.
The Doors’ groundbreaking singer Jim Morrison left his mark on the rock and roll scene with his charismatic look, effortlessly cool style, poetic lyrics, and unique vocals. His wild behavior, the power to mesmerize a crowd, and whole persona led him to create one of the most potent images of any rock star in the history of music. Yet, the singer had intense drug and alcohol abuse.
Considering the lyrics and statements of Jim Morrison, it was evident that he was trying to cope with some traumatic events and his depressive mode through creative activities. However, his heavy use of drugs and alcohol began to suppress his talent and concentration in music. He also went through many troubles with the authorities. After struggling with fame and addiction for years, the legendary rocker passed away in 1971 due to heart failure.
