Never before seen Jim Morrison Paris Notebook
"From the collection of rock legend Graham Nash, who writes on the inside of the custom full-leather clamshell case,
"Handwritten book by Jim Morrison - given to me by Bill Siddons in the 80's Graham Nash.
P.S. Bill Siddons was the man who picked up Jim's body in Paris. He was also my manager." "
There must have been some kind of presentation case that he wrote on as it's not in the pages I have.
Was sold at auction for $240K.
112 pages of Jim Morrison's musings, poems, babblings and thinking.
Some of it's good, some of it's excruciatingly bad and lots in between.
Enjoy
"Sometimes I feel as if there's a vast guerrilla war going on for the mind of man, com[munist] x com[munist], cap[italist] x cap[italist], artist x artist. And the stakes are huge. Will we spoil the best secrets of life or will we help to free a New Kind of Man? It's intox[icating] to think of that. There's something rich waiting if one of us is good enough & brave enough to get there."
Poems include "The Hive", "The City", "Arcade" ,"Peep Shows", "Jupien's Brothel", "The Andalusian Bitch", "Bondage", "Brothers on a Sundeck", "The Cockpit", "Omniscience", "Yoga Powers" ,"Gods Into Men" and "Masque (Happening)."
Also includes commentary on French novelist, essayist and critic Marcel Proust & and some comments on Goethe.
Some of this is quite familiar to those who have read Jim's published work.
