Jim Morrison: An Hour For Magic
Cynthia Rose, NME, 12 June 1982
"BY THE TIME he left for Paris in March of 1971", Jim Morrison: An Hour for Magic tells us, "the friends he could depend on numbered less than ten." For a rock personality of Morrison's magnitude this sounds rather an optimistic estimate, but one has to remember it included this tome's author, Frank Lisciandro a film school acquaintance from UCLA.
