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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWho 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn 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\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Allen \u0026 Unwin","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46844685058284,"sku":"9781408860564","price":24.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/16716333482689.jpg?v=1758851429","url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/products\/mr-mojo-by-dylan-jones-9781408860564","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
