RollingStone Magazine's Ultimate Bad Guy

Rock has always been associated with bad asses. The sound is about attitude. Once gripped. The goal is to let it rip. Shred. Turn reality upside down so it can be body slammed like a UFC fighter. Growing up in a pair of Montana boots caked with stickier than Super Glue mud...Bad Ass Rebel Rock came with faces that pointed the way to Iggy, Zappa, Keith Richards, Johnny Cash, Bowie and hell even Sister Mary Elephant from Cheech and Chong. RollingStone Magazine reports Jim Morrison is Classic Rocks Ultimate Bad Guy. Although he's been gone for 42 chapters....Morrison's rebellious cause continues to effect. Readers of the national publication pointing directly toward Jim's September 1967 incident on the Ed Sullivan show where he and the band were asked to clean up the lyrics of "Light My Fire" And they didn't. You gotta love a man that ignores the boss... RollingStone reports that it was a costly move, but Morrison was just getting started. He was the original Axl Rose, showing up late for gigs and taunting the crowd when he did show up. People have been debating for decades what actually happened in Miami in 1969, but even if he didn't reveal his penis, he certainly taunted the police until they arrested him. Moves like that really damaged the band, but Morrison seemed not to care. He died in Paris in 1971, but some fans refuse to believe that and they're holding out hope he's going to re-emerge some day. Listen to how it unfolded
