description: The Doors and their doomed late leader Jim Morrison have been rock legends for decades, and this collection of critical essays and press clippings does much to strip away the current mythology surrounding the band while presenting them as they really were. An amazingly diverse collection of writers, from Joan Didion (in an excerpt from The White Album ) to Lester Bangs (who cut through the myth of Morrison, whom he referred to as "Bozo Dionysus"), weigh in with their impressions of The Doors and the band's ever-controversial legacy. Of particular interest are pieces with no critical aspect, news reports of the notorious Doors concerts that climaxed in police raids.
