[Casey Kiser · Rating 5 out of 5]

Some of my fave quotes:

Jim: "I want the freedom to try everything." 1968

Jim: "We like anything which is a violent reaction against the norm." 1968

Jim: "I'm interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos, especially things that seem to have no meaning." 1968

Jim: "A friend is someone who lets you have total freedom to be yourself." 1968

Jim: "Let's just say I was testing the bounds of reality." 1969

Jim: "When you make your peace with authority, you become authority." 1969

Jim: "Whoever controls the media, controls the mind." 1969

Jim: "Expose yourself to your deepest fear: after that, fear has no power, and the fear of freedom shrinks and vanishes. You are free." 1969

Ray: "He lived very intensely. He squeezed a lot into his 27 years." 1980

Ray: "It was always difficult to work with Jim. The man was a genius, and genius is allowed a very schizophrenic behaviour. You never knew from day to day which Jim Morrison was going to show up." 1980

Jim: "I am The Lizard King, and I can do anything."

Ray: "Time would be suspended. Time would actually stop. The only thing that would exist would be the energy, the feeling generated between the audience and the band." 1980

Raccolta di interviste e articoli pubblicati su Jim Morrison e i Doors. Si tratta di materiale che si può trovare anche in altre pubblicazioni, che però furono successive. Per l'anno in cui uscì (1988 la versione inglese, 1990 quella tradotta in italiano), si trattava di un libro fatto piuttosto bene, con contenuti interessanti e, pensando all'Italia, in parte inediti.
