"Wryly intelligent...mixes juicy behind-the-scenes bits...with energetic, note-by-note accounts of the evolution of the band's songs."--People

No other band has ever sounded quite like the Doors, and no other frontman has ever transfixed an audience quite the way Jim Morrison did. Ray Manzarek, the band's co-founder and keyboard player, was there from the very start--and until the sad dissolution--of the Doors. In this heartfelt and colorfully detailed memoir, complete with 16 pages of photographs, he brings us an insider's view of the brief, brilliant history...from the beginning to the end.

"A refreshingly candid read...a Doors bio worth opening."-- Entertainment Weekly

"[An] engaging read."--Washington Post Book World

* By the keyboard player and co-founder of the band who saw it all * Includes 16 pages of photos * Extraordinary reviews from People, Entertainment Weekly, Washington Post Book World and others...Booklist calls it "literate, perceptive, and thoughtful" and says it "may be the best rock bio of the year"
