Hi, I'm John Densmore, and I was drummer for the Doors! I know, I know. Thank you. Thank you. You may be seated.
Anyway, you should read my book. It is full of amazing insight, such as:
1. Jim Morrison = douche.
2. My genitals are really itchy.
3. We were so mistreated by that douche Jim Morrison.
4. But he was kind of a mystic shaman prophet douche.
5. And he made us rich.
6. The record company totally bastardized our music because they were so obsessed with making money. They didn't realize what a brilliant poet mystic Jim was.
7. But he was pretty much a drunken asshole.
8. Van Morrison: also awesome. Not related to Jim.
9. Nothing important has happened to music since Bob Marley.
10. I mean, they really itch. Bad.

Echoed my thoughts exactly. This book was terrible.
Jim was intense! I respect him for his realness. He was almost too real for most people to comprehend. It destroyed him to be such a powerful visionary who was marginalized to a rock god instead of one of the most thoughtful poets of his day and in many ways his insights are timeless.
I read this book as a teenager. I have always been able to identify with Jim Morrison on many levels. I am excited to read this again as an adult to see what more I can learn from the kindred Jim Morrison.
This review is nearly as pretentious as Morrison’s “poetry�.
