I've heard him say different stories. And I've read many more in books. Which is it? You can see it on the PBS thing The Doors did.

John Densmore finally cleared up this misunderstanding. GM: Why does Robby have a black eye on the Smothers Brothers show? JD: Unfortunately, Robby had been in an accident. He was behind the wheel of a car in Mexico during a fishing trip there, so that black eye was a repercussion of his, uh, vacation. www.goldminemag.com/articles/drummer-john-densmore-revisits-past-doors-r-evolutionThere were several stories going around; Jim and Robby got into a fistfight, Robby got into a fight with a bunch of "rednecks", etc. And Krieger has never admitted that the black eye was the result of a car accident and seemed to get a real kick out of adding fuel to the "Jim punched Robby" rumor - but it turns out that Robby was just goofing around and a car accident was the culprit here. |

Thank you Caitlin for clearing that up. You're welcome. I don't think Jim and Robby would have gotten into a fistfight. Jim and Robby had a good relationship and while Jim could bravely absorb blows inflicted on him from the New Haven police department I don't think he was the type to start fights. |

Robby always seemed to laid back, no ego, and I think Jim might have thought of him as a younger brother. I also think he respected the fact that he was the only one who wrote songs, even after Jim asked the entire band.
The only stories I read of Jim being physically abusive was towards women. For some reason, I doubt he could fight.
