Rock and Pop- What is a good biography on Jim Morrison you guys would recommend?

There are a few that are pretty good. I would highly suggest A Feast of Friends by Frank Lisciandro. This book is composed of interviews from people that knew Jim, some in his childhood years, some during film school, some from being around that band, and a few others. The book shows all of Jim's different personalities based on his relationship with that person.

Another book I like is The Lizard King Was Here by Mark Opsasnick. This book focuses on Jim's teenage years while living in Alexandria Virginia (about 15-18 years old) I like this book because it talks about a part of Jim's life that you normally do not hear about and is very in depth and detailed. Both of these books unfortunately, can not be bought in stores, but I ordered both from amazon and they were definitely worth it.

The Doors coffee table book is nice, and has a lot of nice glossy pictures. It shares many interviews from Jim's family and the other members of The Doors. The book's author is listed at Ben Fong-Terres. I like the books by John and Ray (ROTS and LMF) They both talk about the band's and the member's personal relationship with Jim.

Break on Through by James Riordan and Jerry Prochnicky is great for the basics, and seems to be as factual as a biography can be.

In general I would not suggest NOHGOA and the movie because it is not as factually correct as other books out there, its great for some basic information, but not for strictly information.

If you could manage to buy the book online I would suggest FOF but any books listed would be pretty good, especially BOT for general knowledge.

MQ: Not to Touch the Earth

MQ2: Jim Morrison, I don't think I can fully explain my interest in him, it would literally take days

BQ: Besides FOF, Canyon of Dreams Harvey Kubernik: it's really interesting and talks about many different artists.

BQ2: That happens to me all the time. Right now I am actually avoiding doing schoolwork, and earlier today I was reading Doors articles for a research paper rather than studying for physics during my once a week study hall.

Movie - The Doors (Val Kilmer when he was good actor)

Book - No One Here Gets Out Alive

(I've never read any other book about him so I can't compare, but it was good. I went through a Doors phase as a teen.)

MQ-Favorite Doors song

People Are Strange

MQ2-What rock star do you find the most interesting and why

Tupac Shakur, because of the life he lived, his family's history with the Government, and all the strange incidents he was involved in.

BQ-Favorite music related book?

My Metallica Tablature Book, even though I was never a big fan, I liked to play their music

BQ2-How often does your interest in music distract you from doing hw/studying/work or whatever your supposed to be doing?

Not much any more since I do nothing anyways.

Jim Morrison

I haven't read any Jim Morrison biographys, but you should watch "The Doors" if you haven't yet. It's fantastic.

MQ: The End or When The Music's Over

MQ: Kurt Cobain. He was such an intense person.

BQ: George Harrison - I Me Mine

BQ: Whenever I'm supposed to be doing schoolwork on the computer I either end up on some online music zine or on here discussing music...

The doors movie

and btw, despite being so artistically talented(I love the doors) Jim Morrison was a flaming waterhead and didnt really seem to care about anyone outside his fantasies

Doors are really good, great band to get into.

Honestly, I've nver read any book about or releated to music, so I can't help, sorry.

MA:Land Ho! or Maggie M'Gill

MA2: Why, obviously myself, Layne!

BA: Like I said...

Light My Fire by Ray Manzarek, the keyboardist very good

MQ: Peace Frog

MQ2: Kurt Cobain and the way he brought the disenfranchised masses together

BQ: The One I mentioned

BQ2: uhh..the way it's a thousand times more entertaining? lol

The Doors are a good band. Wiki or Google.
