Description

It has been 40 years since the untimely death of L.A.''s mystic and rock''s Dionysus Jim Morrison yet the Doors have consistently inspired new generations of fans worldwide ever since. Highlighting one of the most influential original and outrageous American bands of the 1960s ÊThe Doors FAQÊ is a dynamic unorthodox exploration of this remarkable band and its enigmatic lead singer.ÞDrawing upon unique sources Rich Weidman digs deep and serves up fresh perspective on the music from the garage to the hits to the outtakes; and on the band''s members from their roots influences and key industry partners to their rare talents personal foibles love affairs and arrests. This volume also details every studio album and live recording all the highs and lows of the Doors in concert (including the notorious 1969 Miami concert) Morrison''s 40-day trial and the death of the Lizard King in Paris in 1971 as well as post-Morrison milestones. Unlike the straightforward narratives of other Doors biographies this inventive ceremonious biographical collage leaves no stone unturned covering the band both with Morrison and post-Morrison including the 2010 ÊWhen You''re StrangeÊ documentary and the recent pardon of Morrison by the State of Florida for the Miami concert. Countless rare images from album art to ticket stubs to posters accompany the text in this dazzling edition of solid rock scholarship.
