This is the gripping account of the legal battle to control The Doors's artistic destiny. In it, Densmore looks at his conflict with his bandmates over the right to use The Doors's name, revealing the ways in which this struggle mirrors and reflects a much larger societal issue: that no amount of money seems to be enough for even the wealthiest people.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Doors continue to attract new generations of fans, with more than one hundred million albums sold worldwide and counting, and nearly twenty million followers to the band's social media accounts.

His writing consistently earns accolades and has appeared in a range of publications, such as the \u003cem\u003eLos Angeles Times\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eRolling Stone.\u003c\/em\u003e As his friend and American novelist Tom Robbins recently said to him, \"If you keep writing like this, I'll have to get a drum set.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is an incredibly timely and important volume in a contemporary world that is increasingly consumed by an insatiable profit motive.
