I personally think he is a genius, and it was a shame the Doors movie made him look like a drunken fool. For a better look into the real him, I suggest reading the book by linda ashcroft. Very interesting.

I own Riders on the Storm by John Densmore. It is a really good read, but you have to keep in mind that John and Jim didn't really get along. So its a different point of view rather than someone who was a fan of Jim. But if haven't read it and you are a Morrison fan, that I defenitly recommend it.

I love Jim, he was an aptsolute genius with an IQ of 141!! The movie does make him out to be a drunken fool, but its still a pretty good flick. If you want to get the real story there are many books showing him in a better light (I've pretty much read every book about him). From everything that I have read about him, he is defenitly someone that I would chill with. But he is my all-time favorite artist, poet, musician or whatever, so I guess I'm a little partial to him.

hmm, never would have guessed you were partial to him by your name.... :)

I love him too. Which of the books you read do you consider to be the best?

Reply to This

the best one is a toss up between No One Here Gets Out Alive or Riders On The Storm. Both are excellent reads
