Jim Morrison: Friends Gathered Together

Jim Morrison: Friends Gathered Together. Frank Lisciandro.


This is a nice book named of course after a Morrison poem that ended up on LA Woman.
It is a bit cheap looking but you can't judge a book by that and it's content is pretty damn good.
The scans are just snippets of the book and are not in numerical order.









Again Frank gathers together on his thin raft an interesting cast of characters who tell of the Jim Morrison THEY knew.
You won't hear them calling him a 'shaman man!' like that bloke he worked with who thought he knew Jim Morrison but since 1971 proved he has not a fucking clue.
These people are Jim's actual friends and people who knew the Jim Morrison without the leather trousers and all the bullshit that went with it.
Their story is both fascinating and poignant and well worth reading.

This is a very solid book, as it has the complete interviews that Frank had published in "Feast of Friends". I think January Jansen's one remained exclusive to the old book and I wonder why it's not repeated here, was it complete in FOF already or were there any other reasons. And as for the layout and design, these are pretty good for a self-published book. In any case, absolutely essential.

There was a much earlier book from Michael McClure called "Lighting The Corners", from 1991 or so. It had the complete interview with Michael and some other small cameos involved Jim, of little importance IMO. I haven't compared the contents of the interview. Could it be there is something else in Mike's books.
