#19: His Fascination With Reptiles

Jim Morrison’s fascination with lizards and mythology went deep, believing in his power to mentally command these revered creatures, a belief potentially fueled by his substance abuse, according to some accounts and claims from witnesses.

In a dramatic 1967 incident, Jim Morrison’s advancement towards Janis Joplin led to a confrontation, during which Joplin retaliated by throwing a bottle at him. Following a dramatic scene, Morrison theatrically threatened Joplin with a summoned lizard army, though his efforts were fruitlessly amusing.
