Jim Morrison Audiobook (Free)

As the business lead singer of the Doors, Jim Morrison’s searing poetic eyesight and voracious hunger for sexual, religious, and psychedelic experience inflamed the nature and psyche of the generation. Since his mystical loss of life in 1971, hundreds of thousands more followers from a new generation have embraced his legacy, as layers of myth have collected to enshroud the life, career, and accurate character of the person who was James Douglas Morrison.In Jim Morrison, critically acclaimed journalist Stephen Davis, writer of Hammer about Jim Morrison from the Gods, unmasks Morrison’s constructed personas from the Lizard Ruler and Mr. Mojo Risin’ to reveal a man of fierce cleverness whose own harmful tendencies both fueled his creative ambitions and caused his downfall. Gathered from dozens of original interviews and investigations of Morrison’s personal journals, Davis has constructed a vivid family portrait of a misinterpreted genius, tracing the arc of Morrison’s existence from his troubled youth to his international stardom, when his medication and alcohol binges, tumultuous intimate affairs, and fractious personal relationships reached a frenzied peak. For the very first time, Davis can reconstruct Morrison’s last times in Paris to resolve one of the greatest mysteries in music history in a shocking final section.

Engaging and harrowing, close and revelatory, Jim Morrison is the definitive biography of the rock idol in snakeskin and leather who defined the 1960s.
