Found dead in his bathtub aged only 27 having achieved worldwide stardom as lead singer of \u003ci\u003eThe Doors\u003c\/i\u003e, Morrison was quickly immortalised amongst the rock and roll deity such as Hendrix and Joplin. In death, however, this debauched ‘rock poet’ remained more stubbornly enigmatic than ever. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  Who was the \u003ci\u003ereal\u003c\/i\u003e Jim Morrison? Nihilist, egoist, shaman: he was a master of self-creation. A mosaic mythology of new-age hippy rhetoric, French poetry and Nietszchean symbolism obscured a man trapped by the mythology that he had so carefully constructed around himself. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e  In this colourful and intimate biography, Dylan Jones strips bare the skin-tight leather suit of Jim Morrison’s Lizard King persona, and offers a frank and honest appraisal of a much beloved and often-romanticised counter-cultural icon. \u003ci\u003eMr Mojo\u003c\/i\u003e is littered with little-known anecdotes from fellow stars, spurned lovers and industry moguls. It is a refreshingly honest portrait of a self-indulgent artist with a penchant for pageantry and public self-destruction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49763100655889,"sku":"GOR006671399","price":11.39,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"US \/ WELL_READ \/ SBYB","offer_id":50380689473809,"sku":"CIN1408860562A","price":4.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50794568810769,"sku":"GOR009587556","price":10.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1408860562.jpg?v=1785995334","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/mr-mojo-book-dylan-jones-9781408860564","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
