About this ebook
At the age of thirteen, Danny Sugerman- the already wayward product of Beverley Hills wealth and privilege- went to his first Doors concert. He never looked back. He became Jim Morrison's protégé and- still in his teens- manager of the Doors and then Iggy Pop. He also plunged gleefully into the glamorous underworld of the rock 'n' roll scene, diving headfirst into booze, sex and drugs: every conceivable kind of drug, ever day, in every possible permutation.
By the age of twenty-one he had an idyllic home, a beautiful girlfriend, the best car in the world, two kinds of hepatitis, a diseased heart, a $500 a day heroin habit and only a week to live. He lived.
This is his tale. Excessive, scandalous, comic, cautionary and horrifying, it chronicles the 60s dream gone to rot and the early life of a Hollywood Wild Child who was just brilliant at being bad.

An exceptional insite into the world of the band "The Doors". With Danny Sugarman's life managing The Doors and plenty of drug use. I read this book when I was 15yo at high school, im now 41yo. And it is still in the top 5 books I've read.

12 year old kid starts working for The Doors, what could possibly go wrong? Honestly one of the best books I've read and a more accurate look at who Jim Morrison was.

Definitely one of the best books I have ever read it gives you an excellent look at Jim Morrison from the inside and a look at someone who lived life sliding down the edge of a razor blade. The first line of the book grabs you and doesn't put you down. R.I.P Danny Sugerman !!!
