Summary

A fan from the moment the Doors' first album took over KMPX, the revolutionary FM rock 'n' roll station in San Francisco, Greil Marcus saw the band many times at the legendary Fillmore Auditorium and the Avalon Ballroom in 1967. Five years later it was all over. Forty years after singer Jim Morrison was found dead and the group disbanded, one could drive anywhere, changing from one FM pop station to another, and hear Doors songs. This is the first book about the Doors to bypass their myth, their mystique, and the death cult of both Jim Morrison and the era he was made to personify and focus solely on the music. All these years later, it is a new story
