Download Mr. Mojo: A Biography of Jim Morrison AudioBook Free
In Paris' Pre-Lachaise cemetery, Jim Morrison's graffiti-scrawled tombstone is a location of pilgrimage for local devotees, adolescent hedonists, and wayward backpackers equally. Found dead in his bathtub aged only 27, having achieved worldwide stardom as lead vocalist of The Doorways, Morrison was quickly immortalized among the stone deities such as Hendrix and Joplin. In fatality, however, this debauched "rock poet" remained more stubbornly enigmatic than ever. Who was the real Jim Morrison? Nihilist, egoist, shaman: He was a professional of self-creation. A mosaic mythology of new-age hippy rhetoric, French poetry and Nietszchean symbolism obscured a guy captured by the mythology that he had so carefully designed around himself. In this multi-colored and personal biography, Dylan Jones pieces bare the skin-tight leather suit of Jim Morrison's Lizard King persona and offers a frank and genuine appraisal of a much dearest and often-romanticized countercultural icon. Mr. Mojo is littered with little-known anecdotes from fellow personalities, spurned enthusiasts, and industry moguls. It really is a refreshingly genuine portrait of a self-indulgent designer with a penchant for pageantry and general public self-destruction.
