Pretentious Ray Pretentious and arrogant. Mostly an attempt to make it look like he was Jim Morrisons only friend and take shots at John Densmore. For someone who claims to have a genius IQ (he actually spouts IQ numbers) his writing is juvenile and amateurish. Without a doubt the worst Doors book I've read. Don't even get me started on his over use of the term WASP. This book was just a way for a pompous ass to take shots at those he despises.. R. Schwartz said Intellectual, Psychedelic & The Desert Song. .What impressed me very much about Ray Manzarek's book are both his observations of the 1960's time era and his knowledge of Greek and Nietzschian thoughts pertaining to Morrison and Dionysian darkness within the Doors music and creativity. His descriptions of Morrison's early acid trip where he envisioned a Satyr following him down the street; that would be the theme of his Dionysian career in the spirit of music, tragedy, dithyrambs and poetry. And Manzareks thoughts on the 1960's, drug use - it's psychedelic spiritual meaning as opposed to the designer drugs of escapism and the comparison of alcoho. Some Good Stories G. J Wiener I enjoy reading stories about Rock N Roll Stars. And Ray Manazarek's account of The Doors is certainly captivating. He is a bit harsh on John Densmore but sometimes life in a rock n roll band can bring about adversity. I enjoyed the story about the real happenings on the Ed Sullivan Show. Also it was nice hearing how surprised Ray was when he received his royalty check for Light My Fire. What about the night Jim Morrison was too stoned to play. The guys went on without him and Ray and Robbie somewhat covered for Jimbo on vocals. Also John was in the spotlight and seemed quite happy. The Buick advertis
It's all love, peace, happiness and Morrison, except for the caustic passages regarding Oliver Stone and his big-budget biopic, The Doors, which Manzarek despises. 16 pages of photos, not seen by PW. . Manzarek surely loved MorrisonAthey were friends and collaborators before either man had met the other two musicians who would complete the Doors's lineup, drummer John Densmore (whom Manzarek claimed Morrison never liked) and guitarist Robby Krieger, who penned "Light My Fire," "Touch Me" and "Love Me Two Times" with little or no help from famed lyricist Morrison. Manzarek takes every opportunity to philosophize about the ills of capitalist America, and he incessantly, passionately alludes to Greek mythology, Hinduism and Christianity when relating tales of his rock band's rise and fall.
