Break On Through: The Life And Death Of Jim Morrison by James Riordan PDF

Thirty five years after his death in Paris at age twenty seven, Jim Morrison's iconic legend remains as powerful as ever, swathed in the mists of mystery. There have been numerous biographies about the self proclaimed "Lizard King's" life and career. But none have examined his roots and childhood, the intellectual foundations of his music, his wild days with the Doors, and his enigmatic early death as completely and insightfully as Break On Through.

More than simply a fascinating look at a rock legend whose cult following never stops growing, here is the definitive Morrison biography, his angry relationship with his fathe,; the early tragedies and terrible events responsible for the darkness of his artistic vision, his private life and legal trials, including his infamous Miami obscenity bust, and the truth about his final hours.

Based on extensive research and featuring dozens of rarely published photographs, this is the authoritative portrait of the poet, the grim visionary, the haunted man, and his haunting music.
