Riders on the Storm: My Life with Jim Morrison and the Doors by John Densmore
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 2 MB
Overview: Indispensable for fans of one of rock music’s most flamboyant and controversial groups is Doors drummer John Densmore’s insider’s look at hard-living singer Jim Morrison, who died of a drug overdose in 1971. This book provides numerous examples of Morrison’s self-destructive behavior. But Densmore’s love-hate relationship with the self-proclaimed “Lizard King” leads him to paint a more sympathetic picture of the doomed superstar, whose rebellious rock-poet persona is still worshiped today by fans.

Densmore’s detailed account of the Doors’ rise and fall is often narrated in a glib style, but his extensive use of Morrison’s lyrics thoughtfully reinforces his main concerns: Densmore’s belief in music as a new religion on a par with his rejected Catholic upbringing; his ongoing attempt to build an inner life to match what he depicts as a heady and confusing musical career; and his guilt over failing to save Morrison.

“This book is the real story.”—Robby Krieger

“[John] Densmore’s is the first Doors biography that feels like it was written for the right reasons, and it is easily the most informed account of the Doors’ brief but brilliant life as a group. . . . Densmore is a fluent, articulate writer who both comprehends the Doors’ unearthly power and is on familiar terms with their antecedents in literature, theater, and myth.”—Rolling Stone
