Jim Morrison: Friends Gathered Together
When people discover I was a friend of Jim Morrison, sooner or later they inevitably ask, "What was he really like?" A simple, straightforward reply has become more difficult over the years as sensational and conflicting fictions have obscured the truth about Jim. This book confronts and sweeps away the myths to illuminate an extraordinary man and gifted creative artist. In these pages Jim Morrison is candidly revealed by the people who knew him, who were his pals, colleagues, mentors and lovers. You'll find funny stories, secrets revealed and facts more startling than any of the distortions spread during and after Jim's life. The result is a more detailed rendering, a more humane and accurate portrait.          Frank LisciandroQuotes from the book:  "You could take away anything you wanted from Jim Morrison, but don't mess with his freedom."[Ron Alan] "...he didn't own a car, and he didn't own a house and the only belongings that he had were the things that he wore..."[Leon Barnard]"I admired the ability that he had to cleave to the subject and stick with it. Jim's memory was absolutely acute..."[Michael McClure]"You never quite knew what he was going to do, which was half of the excitement of a Doors concert." [Rich Linnell]More than 55 original photos     Conversations with 14 friends      380 pages of honest testimony
