Publisher's Synopsis
An intimate and honest tale of the truth behind the Jim Morrison myth written by Jim Morrison's lover and the only woman with whom he went through any form of wedding ceremony. The first book to do true justice to Jim Morrison, the man.
In the twenty-five years since his death in a Paris bath, Jim Morrison has remained the subject of intense media scrutiny and unending public fascination. Portrayed as a gifted poet and an abusive alcoholic, a hippie shaman and a doped-up rebel, only with Strange Days has there been a look behind the mask of myth to reveal a shy, intelligent, complex, loving man.
Patricia Kennealy was already an influential rock critic when the Doors were at their hottest in the sixties. It was in a private interview with Morrison in 1969 that sparked a strange and wonderful romance that lasted right up to his death at the obscenely early age of twenty-seven.
Strange Days is a blazingly personal memoir of the never-before-told account of Jim and Patricia's days together culminating in their pagan Celtic wedding rite; his obscenity trial, her pregancy and the terrible consequences of both; and the dreadful and harrowing truth of Jim's death.
