Riders on the Storm: My Life with Jim Morrison and The Doors

John Densmore
336 pages, Delta (September 1, 1991)
Doors drummer "John Densmore", who had a love-hate relationship with lead singer "Jim Morrison", sympathetically chronicles the self-destructive Lizard King's rise and fall.
Such is the mystique, the iconoclastic reverence, the enduring commercial success and marketability of "Jim Morrison", enigmatic lead singer of "The Doors", that "John Densmore", founding Doors member and drummer, is repeatedly upstaged in his own autobiography.
"John Densmore"'s inside-out account of the group's history perceptively examines relationships, dynamics, creative evolution, difficulties, and artistry, but Jim Morrison in his many guises--angst-ridden poet, Lizard King, Pop icon, and alcoholic--invariably dominates every chapter, story, and anecdote.
