Almost 40 years have passed since the death of Jim Morrison, but the life story of the leader of the Doors group still excites minds. Who was he in the first place — a musician, a poet, a philosopher, a shaman — or, perhaps, «Dionysus, who came out of the surf», «an object of mass libido», as music critics called him? Jim Morrison became the legend of a generation, the destroyer of foundations, the living symbol of the forbidden way of life. Jerry Hopkins, music columnist and author of several books on rock music, and Danny Sugerman, who has worked in the Doors office since the age of 13, followed Jim’s life path, talked about how his personality was formed, about his family, school friends, books that he read — and, of course, covered the entire history of the Doors.
