Peace Frog is the fourth track on The Doors February 1970 released album Morrison Hotel.

The lyrics are based on Jim Morrison's poetry. Two poems in particular, "Abortion Stories" & "Dawn's Highway."




A bearded Jim Morrison.

Lyrics to Peace Frog by The Doors

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
She came
There's blood on the streets, it's up to my knee
She came
Blood on the streets in the town of Chicago
She came
Blood on the rise, it's following me
Think about the break of day

She came and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

She came
Blood in the streets runs a river of sadness She came
Blood in the streets it's up to my thigh She came
Yeah the river runs red down the legs of the city
She came
The women are crying rivers of weepin'

She came into town and then she drove away
Sunlight in her hair

Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding
Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind

Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven
Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice
Blood in my love in the terrible summer
Bloody red sun of fantastic L.A.

Blood screams the pain as they chop off her fingers
Blood will be born in the birth of a nation
Blood is the rose of mysterious union

There's blood in the streets, it's up to my ankles
Blood in the streets, it's up to my knee
Blood in the streets in the town of Chicago
Blood on the rise, it's following me

The Lizard King says Peace Frog.

Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash performing Girl from the North Country on the Johnny Cash Show.


Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash gave this performance on the first episode of the Johnny Cash Show, it first aired June 7, 1969. The show was filmed at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.


Here is the studio version of Girl from the North Country featuring BD and JC. This was the first track on Bob Dylan's April 1969 released album, Nashville Skyline.



Dylan wrote this song earlier in the decade, and it first appeared on his second album, the May 1963 released The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan with him performing the song solo.

Paul's Boutique, MCA, Ad-Rock, & Mike D's second album released on July 25, 1989.

It's good, it's great, many people like it.

Miles Davis was a fan.
I too was a bit a surprised to hear that about Davis not generally thinking about an overlap between these two artists, but Davis died in September 1991, a little more than two years after the release of Paul's Boutique. Interesting to see that bit of props from one innovator to some others.

Anyway, as you know Paul's Boutique had great beats, funny, witty, goofball lyrics, cool samples, cultural influence, much more...



The cover of Adam Yauch, Adam Horovitz, and Michael Diamond's damn good second album, put together with the help of The Dust Brothers, Allen Abrahamson, Mario Caldato Jr., Mike Simpson, Matt Dike, Ricky Powell, Jeremy Shatan, Dominick Watkins, and Nathaniel Hörnblowér.
