#16: His Excessive Substance Abuse

By the end of 1967, Jim Morrison’s excessive drinking led to a public fall from the stage in L. A historic on-stage arrest in New Haven for the rock star, dubbing him Mr. Mojo Risin’—an inventive anagram of his name.

A backstage romantic encounter gone wrong saw Morrison maced by a disbelieving police officer. Outraged, he aired the ordeal to fans and insulted the officer, leading to his arrest and a fan uproar. This episode eerily foreshadowed his future troubles.
