In the fall of 1970, while at college, Breitenbach sent pictures of his surrealistic artwork to Jim Morrison and offered to paint an album cover.

The left panel depicting a radiant moon-lit beach and an endless stream of young naked couples running silently along the water's edge.

"[2] Morrison biographer Jerry Hopkins, in a letter to Breitenbach, explained the meaning of the painting: "the beach scene ... is a variation on a dream he told several people he had ...

The center would be an extension of his interest in chaos and insanity ... and the final panel refers to a scene from his childhood when he and his father came upon an overturned truck, dead and injured Indians scattered 'on dawn's highway bleeding.'

")[2] Biographer Stephen Davis suggests, "These vivid scenes of death and rebirth were reflective of the new beginning Jim himself was seeking."
