For:Fans of Jim Morrison and The Doors, readers of music biography, photography and documentary film enthusiasts.

 A barrage of deliberate misinformation about Jim initiated while he was alive grew in the years following his death. A distorted characterization of his figure had taken hold of the media, and soon an unpleasant representation would be observed in the persistent Hollywood film "The Doors." A caricatured portrait, fueled by gossip and invented situations, depicted Jim as an idiot. I noticed that the people capable of refuting such lies - those Jim relied on and worked with, those with whom he shared his time and thoughts, namely his friends - were never consulted. One by one, I began contacting and meeting them, hoping to extract fresh information and new insights from our conversations. Many of those people had never been interviewed, and some were reluctant to do so. But one thing was in my favor: everyone knew that Jim had sought my collaboration and considered me a close friend."
