A beautiful, fierce, honest memoir of the trial where John Densmore, the drummer in The Doors, sued the guitarist and keyboards player for going out on tour as The Doors 30 years after the singer Jim Morrison died.

The band had a veto agreement - any one of the four says no, and the thing is cancelled - but the other two tried to pretend this was a mistake, or that they only said that when they were high.

Yes, he's a millionaire - but he uses his money to support good causes, like preserving ancient redwoods.

Stewart Copeland comes across well in this - he was the drummer hired for what he thought was a one-off "Doors of the Twenty-First Century" show, who found out at a later press conference that the two surviving Doors in that band were planning a big tour. Ian Astbury, the singer in that band, does not come across well.

Many lovely mentions of Eastern wisdom - Rumi, Ravi Shankar, Transcendental Meditation - and some specific writers to follow up

Wow! I was not expecting this book to be what it was - and boy am I glad!!!

As a Door's fan, I was expecting another memoir about the going on during the height of their fame, I was so pleasantly surprised at what I got instead. I am an attorney and identify as a liberal and a moral philosopher - right there along side John. John is such a wonderful person and the fight to keep his integrity and the integrity of the band is so amazing to see. This could not be more timely, as this is not just commentary on the Doors' specifically, but on society as a whole. Selfishness, greed, capitalism, and unfairness continue to rum rampant while so many suffer unnoticed. Thank you John for continuing to bring this message to light and for continuing to keep the legacy of the band alive.

I am an even bigger Door's fan now!
