IRB Media Summary of Robby Krieger's Set the Night on Fire

Annotation

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Book Preview: #1 The Doors were a young band on their way up in 1966. One night, Jim Morrison, the lead singer, jumped out of a window drunk. I didn't have much confidence in his grip.#2 I was the youngest member of the band, and I didn't have any authority over the others. I was constantly being placed at the crossroads between rock 'n' roll stardom and scooping Jim's brains off the pavement. I knew that Jim could be as big a rock star as anyone who had come before him.#3 The Doors were a band that I auditioned for in 1965. I had met the rest of the band members before, so there was no need for introductions. I came prepared to play the first song we ever played together: Moonlight Drive.#4 The hair relaxer wore off after a few months, and my sexy mop top went back to looking like a frayed Brillo pad. But thankfully by then I had proven myself indispensable, and the Doors couldn't get rid of me any more than I could get rid of the worst hair in rock 'n' roll.
