Edited
quotes, "In an era when Vietnam consumed the national attention, Jim
Morrison may well have been rock's point man in the cultural
free-fire zone
of the 60's. As lead singer and lyricist of The Doors, Jim's dark
vision, dramatic stage presence and leonine visage electrified
the rock
world. When he died - at the age of 27, many refused to believe he
was gone. 'In Jim Morrison: Dark Star,' Jones charts the
star's
rise and fall
and offers some fresh insights into his motivations and early influences.
He explores Morrison's embrace of Nietzsche's thoughts,
calling 'The
Birth of Tragedy' the key to understanding Jim and The Doors. A heavily illustrated, brief biography of the
singer-composer. In
different ways, it does a good job of re-creating Morrison's
life. Jones, London correspondent for Rolling Stone, takes an
objective approach,
presenting in solid prose Jim's rise and fall, relying on a wealth of
interviews with those who knew the star. In this revealing,
extensively
researched, illustrated biography, he explores the reality behind the
myth. The author traveled the world to interview Jim's family,
fellow
musicians, and friends. Jim Morrison still has the power to
fascinate." 130 color & b/w photos many previously
unpublished.

things known. And there are things unknown. And in between are the
