Morrison’s Binges

Hearing that previous fact and knowing a bit about Jim Morrison, it won’t surprise you that he was famous for his binges. The Doors were the house band for the bar Whisky A Go Go in 1967. However, that did not stop Jim Morrison from lashing out at the founder of the establishment, Elmer Valentine, during his binges. Apparently, Morrison often shouted, “F**k you, Elmer!” while on stage if he was really intoxicated.

Military Brat

Surprisingly, Jim Morrison was actually a military brat growing up. His father was in the army and thus, the family moved around a lot. Actually, his dad, Steve Morrison, served in the second World War as an elite US fighter pilot. He also got a Bronze Star for his heroism in the combat zone of the Korean War. Maybe you suspected, but his father did not approve of his music career.
