ON BECOMING IMMORTAL
(from the back cover)
Since his mysterious tragic death at 27 years of age, there have been many biographies and documentaries about Jim Morrison—poet and lead singer of The Doors. Freeway takes a unique approach by studying the evolution of this gifted Navy son who drew upon the arts to fashion his life his way.
From his early teens, Jim was an avid reader and a keen observer. The names of William Blake, Aldous Huxley, Friedrich Nietzsche, and Arthur Rimbaud appear regularly in his biographies. Other creative individuals are rarely ever mentioned, but Freeway identifies several. Indeed, key episodes in his life now look to be more deliberate than traditionally described.
Rich in original research including extraordinary interviews, photographs, and illustrations, Freeway ventures importantly—albeit sadly—into dark alleys. There, it seems, the solitary Jim was induced to follow his heroes of art and literature. Those who achieved legendary status were of prime interest. Some had died young…
Freeway explores missing chapters from the chronicles of Jim Morrison. It will surprise, disturb, and mystify like no other.
