Set the Night on Fire : Living, Dying and Playing Guitar with the Doors
The Doors / Robby Krieger - Book - by Robby Krieger
(2021)
Few
bands are as shrouded in the murky haze of rock mythology as The Doors,
and parsing fact from fiction has been a virtually impossible task. But
now, after fifty years, The Doors' notoriously quiet guitarist is
finally breaking his silence to set the record straight. Through a
series of vignettes, Robby takes readers back to where it all happened:
the pawn shop where he bought his first guitar; the jail cell he was
tossed into after a teenage drug bust; his parents' living room where
his first songwriting sessions with Jim Morrison took place; and the
many concert venues that erupted into historic riots.
Robby
also goes into heartbreaking detail about his life's most difficult
struggles, ranging from drug addiction to cancer, but he balances out
the sorrow with humorous anecdotes about run-ins with unstable fans,
famous musicians, and one really angry monk. SET THE NIGHT ON FIRE is at
once an insightful time capsule of 1960s counterculture and a moving
reflection on what it means to find oneself as a musician. It's not only
a must-read for Doors fans, but an essential volume of American pop
culture history.
