Il cantante dei Doors era allora una delle rockstar più adorate, un sex symbol provocatorio e controverso.

Poetry by Jim Morrison (of The Doors) and Craig Strete."I have seen the future and I won't go," says Morrison, staring at the sky as if he saw the words up there somewhere. And the day explodes, rocketting into a long shamanistic shared journey. Words tumble out as we write furiously, thrown together accidentally by the summer. Putting it all down on paper. Poems meant never to be heard except in the dark side of our lives. Stories of the yet to happen, fantasies that bleed and off...
