"Few bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The
Doors, and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually impossible
task. But now, after fifty years, The Doors’ notoriously quiet guitarist
is finally breaking his silence to set the record straight.
Through a series of vignettes, Robby takes readers back to where it all
happened: the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell
he was tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents’ living room
where his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; and
the many concert venues that erupted into historic riots.
Robby also goes into heartbreaking detail about his life’s most
difficult struggles, ranging from drug addiction to cancer, but he
balances out the sorrow with humorous anecdotes about run-ins with
unstable fans, famous musicians, and one really angry monk. SET THE
NIGHT ON FIRE is at once an insightful time capsule of 1960s
counterculture and a moving reflection on what it means to find oneself
as a musician. It’s not only a must-read for Doors fans, but an
essential volume of American pop culture history." (whiterabbitbooks.co.uk)
