"It&apos-s All About the Music!"Welcome to another in the Legends of Rock & Roll series.This is, like the others, a mini-biography of one the greatest of American bands, The Doors.The Doors were one of most intense and radical rock groups of the Sixties and their legacy can still be felt today, 40 years after the death of Jim Morrison.Their career was short, only about 6 years, but they fit a lifetime of music into those 6 years.This was the Sixties, the generation that gave us LSD, hippies, protests of the Vietnam War, flower children, and free love. Jim Morrison and the Doors wrote and sang about all of that. They were as interesting to watch on stage as they were to listen to.This book is about the group, but even more importantly, it&apos-s about the music. This series is my way of honoring the people that have brought so much joy to our lives over the years.It is an unauthorized fan tribute.Inside you&apos-ll find:Introduction - Remarks about The Doors in general and a kick-off for the book.In the Beginning - A brief biography of each of the four members of the Doors and how they came together.Birth of the Doors - The beginning of the band.
