Here is Jim Morrison in all his complexity-singer, philosopher, poet,
delinquent-the brilliant, charismatic, and obsessed seeker who rejected
authority in any form, the explorer who probed the bounds of reality to
see what would happen... Seven years in the writing, this definitive
biography is the work of two men whose empathy and experience with Jim
Morrison uniquely prepared them to recount this modern tragedy: Jerry
Hopkins, whose famous Presley biography, Elvis, was inspired by
Morrison's suggestion, and Danny Sugerman, confidant of and aide to the
Doors. With an afterword by Michael McClure.
