I-95 Drive Home Mystery Artist [VIDEO]

Tonight’s mystery artist wrote a song that references a time that he was arrested for attempting to incite a riot. Can you guess who he is or what the song might be??

The song is Peace Frog adapted from several poems written by Jim Morrision. It is said that much of the imagery in the song Peace Frog and the one it blends seamlessly into Blue Sunday reference some actual events in Morrision’s life. For example, Wikipedia tells

The line "Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven" likely refers to Morrison's December 9, 1967 arrest at the New Haven Arena during a concert. After an altercation with a police officer backstage, Morrison made the incident known to the concert audience, and was arrested for attempting to incite a riot.

Also the line "Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding/Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind" originates from his poem, "Newborn Awakening" (and it also appears at the end of "Ghost Song"). The line is born out of "Dawn's Highway", a poem in which Jim describes an event that occurred when he was young. Morrison described the incident, using a rare mention of his parents, called An American Prayer:
“Me and my — mother and father — and a grandmother and a grandfather — were driving through the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian workers had either hit another car, or just — I don't know what happened — but there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death."

"So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time I tasted fear. I musta' been about four — like a child is like a flower, his head is floating in the breeze, man.”

Here is Peace Frog
