Hedonism is inherently subversive since it invokes the Government to come in and pick up the pieces. Morrison was doing the Will of the Deep State whether he knew it or not. Adolescents always do.

"Thus, a good man, though a slave, is free; but a wicked man, though a king, is a slave. For he serves, not one man alone, but, what is worse, as many masters as he has vices." - St. Augustine, City of God
"Libido Dominandi shows how sexual liberation was from its inception a form of control.

Aldous Huxley wrote in his preface to the 1946 edition of Brave New World that ‘as political and economic freedom diminishes, sexual freedom tends compensatingly to increase.’
(Libido Dominandi) explains how the rhetoric of sexual freedom was used to engineer a system of covert political and social control. Over the course of the two-hundred-year span covered by this book, the development of technologies of communication, reproduction, and psychic control - including psychotherapy, behaviorism, advertising, sensitivity training, pornography, and plain old blackmail - allowed the Enlightenment and its heirs to turn Augustine's insight on its head and create masters out of men's vices. Libido Dominandi is the story of how that happened."
While Jim's lifestyle may have been considered hedonistic I don't believe he literally was. Everything was changing so quickly then. He had a very high IQ and basically no fatherly role model or guidance to support him. I actually met Jim at one of his concerts.
He was about as hedonistic as it gets, according to bandmates, lovers and friends. But he wasn't much different than any of the other hedonists, and he became a big drunk/druggie/addict, so that ruined his art anyway.
