Book Description
Jim Morrison, lead singer of the Doors, has achieved a bizarre cult status since his death in 1971. In The Lizard King: The Essential Jim Morrison, Jerry Hopkins re-examines Morrison's life, peeling away the myth to reveal the intelligent, witty but flawed character beneath. He has also collected an illuminating series of interviews made with Morrison during his lifetime, which, published uncut, allow the man to speak for himself at last.
