The Doors. Let’s Ignite This Night. My Memories

Few bands are shrouded in the misty haze of rock mythology like The Doors, and separating fact from fiction seemed almost an impossible task. But now, fifty years later, the quietest member of The Doors finally breaks his silence to set the record straight. In a series of short sketches, Robbie Krieger takes readers back to where the band’s history was made. The pawn shop where Robbie Krieger bought his first guitar; the jail cell where he was placed as a teenager for drug use; the living room of his parents' house where he and Jim Morrison wrote their first songs; empty bars and backyard parties where The Doors played their first awkward concerts; and many other venues, whose performances grew into infamous riots. Robbie Krieger also reveals details about personal life struggles – from drug addiction to the mental breakdown of his twin brother and his own battle with cancer. Balancing out the heavy memories are humorous anecdotes about encounters with crazy fans, famous musicians, and one truly enraged monk.
