On this night in 1967, The Doors, a psychedelic rock band, were scheduled to headline a show at the New Haven Arena. What should have been an ordinary night of music and revelry turned into something more memorable for everyone who attended, thanks to the antics of Doors’ lead singer and frontman Jim Morrison.
While the opening acts played onstage, Morrison decided to pass the time by making out with an enthusiastic fan in a backstage shower stall. A New Haven police officer, who had been hired to provide security backstage but failed to recognize Morrison as the Doors’ lead singer, spotted the couple and told them to stop and move along. According to the Doors’ keyboardist, Morrison told the cop to “eat it,” and after the officer brandished a can of Mace and gave the singer one more chance to comply, Morrison emphatically repeated his earlier reply, earning a face full of pepper spray for his defiance.
