Description
Jim Morrison was the quintessential Sixties pop star, a counter-culture hero who pushed himself--and his audience--to the limit. Part poet, part clown, part modern-day Renaissance man, Morrison created an image that was ultimately his undoing. Though he died more than twenty years ago, Jim Morrison still has the power to fascinate. He remains one of youth culture's most revered heroes--a hero who got out just in time. Book jacket.
