'An attempt to retell an oft-told tale, this time informed by a
desire to suck the hot air out of the more inflated earlier
versions . . . this late-arriving history is perhaps the most
reliable, and certainly the most entertaining, of all' Guardian Few
bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The
Doors, and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually
impossible task. But now, after fifty years, The Doors' notoriously
quiet guitarist is finally breaking his silence to set the record
straight. Through a series of vignettes, Robby takes readers back
to where it all happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first
guitar; the jail cell he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust;
his parents' living room where his first songwriting sessions with
Jim Morrison took place; and the many concert venues that erupted
into historic riots. Both a time capsule of the 1960s
counterculture and a moving reflection on what it means to find
oneself as a musician, Set the Night on Fire is a must-read for
Doors fans and an essential volume of American pop. 'The very best
. . . A well-told classic tale' Mojo 'Eschewing mythologising for
unvarnished, often amusing memories, this is a book that Doors fans
will love madly' Classic Rock Magazine
