Jim Morrison was more than just the lead singer of the Doors. He
was a controversial figure who emerged during the 1960s, and his
enigmatic style and influence have grown steadily since his death
in 1971. Known as a poet, mystic, and shaman, the "Lizard King"
performed rock concerts like rituals and took the worship of
Dionysus seriously, carrying the torch of Pagan ideals all the way
to death. Because of his bizarre cult status, the real man has
gradually disappeared behind the myth. In The Lizard King: The
Essential Jim Morrison, Morrison's biographer Jerry Hopkins
reassesses Morrison's life and offers profound insights about Jim
as a man, rather than the rock star he became. Through a series of
interviews with rock journalists Ben Fong-Torres, John Tobler, Bob
Chorush, Salli Stevenson, and others, readers will learn about an
articulate, intelligent, and witty man who consciously created his
own myth, then lived to regret it. Published uncut, these
interviews bring sharply into focus the broken dreams and
unreachable ideals of this legendary artist. Includes 80
black-and-white photos.
