Pre-Owned The Doors: The Complete Lyrics (Paperback) 038530840X 9780385308403

What follows is an explosion into another dimension as thousands collectively try to "break on through" and follow Jim Morrison to the other side-a realm defined as Dionysian energy, profane madness, and sacred inspiration. The Doors were thrilling: part joy, part dread, an anomaly within the rock pantheon of the sixties. A unique juxtaposition of unlikely musical elements and talents enabled them to marry music with poetry and somehow mix in theater and drama-to unite the performer and audience. And now, thirty-five years after Jim's death, The Doors' story has blossomed into the realm of myth. Morrison remains, today, the poet who has best been able to describe our alienation and feelings of isolation, dread, and disconnectedness. The Doors' music has always formed a world apart, a world beyond, whatever else was going on, and in The Doors: The Complete Illustrated Lyrics, fans will find all the lyrics-including live material and the posthumously issued poetry album, An American Prayer-in one place, illustrated with seventy-five rare photographs.
