![]() ![]() This story has in large part been told many times before, from many angles, and often to better effect. The problem rests chiefly with Butler's subject. ![]() It's not that Butler didn't do her homework among the people she interviewed and sources she consulted are the Elektra Records A&R tyro Jac Holzman and the surviving members of the Doors, school and police records, and even medical journals. Those baffled by Morrison's fame-particularly the respect he received as a poet-will find this book supports, quite unintentionally, their contentions as well. How one views this gossamer-thin account of the doomed Doors frontman and his equally troubled common-law wife rests largely on one's (forgive the expression) ``perception of the Doors.'' This book will be tonic to those eager for more dish on the man they regard as the Rimbaud-esque cynosure of the angst-filled '60s generation. ![]()
