The Doors / John Densmore - Book - by John Densmore

(2020)

The iconic drummer of The Doors investigates his own relationship with creativity and explores the meaning of artistry with other artists and performers in this compelling and spellbinding memoir.

Whether its the curiosity that blossoms after we listen to our favorite bands newest record, or the sheer admiration we feel after watching a knockout performance, many of us have experienced art so pure-so innovative-that we cant help but wonder afterwards: How did they do that? And yet, few of us are in a position to be able to ask those memorable legends where their inspiration comes from and how they translated it into something fresh and new. Fortunately for us, this book is here to offer us a bridge.

In The Seekers, John Densmore the iconic drummer of The Doors and author of the New York Times bestseller Riders on the Storm digs deep into his own process and draws upon his privileged access to his fellow artists and performers in order to explore the origins of creativity itself. Weaving together anecdotes from the authors personal notebooks and experiences over the past fifty years, this book takes readers on a rich, thought-provoking journey into the soul of the artist.

By understanding creativitys roots, Densmore ultimately introduces us to the realm of everyday inspirations that imbue our lives with meaning.

Inspired by the classic spiritual memoir Meetings with Remarkable Men, this book is fueled by Densmores abundant collection of transformative experiences both personal and professionalwith everyone from Ravi Shankar to Patti Smith, Jim Morrison to Janis Joplin, Bob Marley to Gustavo Dudamel, Lou Reed to Van Morrison, Jerry Lee Lewis to his own dear, late Doors bandmate Ray Manzarek. Ultimately, the result is not only a look into the hearts and minds of some of the most important artists of the past century but a way for readers to identify and ignite their own creative spark, and light their own fire.
