To those of us that have seen Stone's film, this seems like rehashing (try to remember that the book came first, though). I wish he'd have ended it at the logical ending place (pg. 296) rather than continuing on and on (to pg. 319) about his involvement with Robert Bly's ridiculous "men's movement" and the endless circling back to points he'd already made earlier. This is a great book for fans of The Doors, told from the perspective of the skeptical drummer. I love the honest descriptions of Jim Morrison's erratic behavior, his rise and fall, and the story of the band's evolution in the public eye. Reflective and interesting for anyone who loves the music of The Doors. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Distinctions
"This book is the real story."--Robby Krieger "[John] Densmore's is the first Doors biography that feels like it was written for the right reasons, and it is easily the most informed account of the Doors' brief but brilliant life as a group. . . . Densmore is a fluent, articulate writer who both comprehends the Doors' unearthly power and is on familiar terms with their antecdedents in literature, theater, and myth."--Rolling Stone "Well-written and touching . . . tells it all and tells it honestly."--The New York Times Book Review "John Densmore's Riders of the Storm is as good an account of the history of the Doors as has been printed to date."--USA Today"Riders on the Storm is very enjoyable, especially its homespun and self-experienced insights. John Densmore is a survivor and a seeker."--Oliver Stone Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

I recall hearing one of the songs waiting in traffic in NY on our way back from NJ and they were playing the longer version and you could really get into hearing the lyrics and what the song was really about.
Took me by surprise what it was about-so strong and open in the 60's.
Some really beautiful lyrics and some raunchy ones, never understood why all the drugs, guess he didn't like the world he was living in. Great understanding now of how things happened and why and what the songs really mean.
The others met along the way are some of my favorite singers.
I received this book from National Library Service for my BARD (Braille Audio Reading Device). ( )
