"Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain."

"He got into a confrontation with the television company, insisting they turn off the lights at one point in the performance. Since of course you couldn't film without lighting, it led to a standoff. The lights were killed for a moment but then came back on.... Full of sound and fury, I guess." - Ethan Russell
On December 9, 1967 in New Haven, Jim Morrison was booked on charges of indecency, public obscenity, disturbing the peace and resisting arrest. Jim had met a girl in his dressing room and wanted a bit more privacy so he went into a shower stall with her. A police officer spotted them in the bathroom and told them they had to leave. Jim told the officer he was in the band and told him to go away. The cop got pushy with Jim, Jim tried to push him away and then the cop maced him. The police wanted to arrest Jim on the spot but were afraid it would incite a riot if the concert was cancelled. During the last song, "Backdoor Man”, Jim told a story about what happened backstage. The cops shut the music down and came directly onstage to arrest him.
"The most loving parents and relatives commit murder with smiles on their faces. They force us to destroy the person we really are: a subtle kind of murder." -Jim Morrison #quote #thedoors
