Publisher Description
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.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
``This achingly forthright account of heroin addiction and the madness of the L.A. rock-and-roll scene fairly crackles with reality,'' maintained PW. Sugerman ( No One Here Gets Out Alive ) tells of his well-heeled yet troubled childhood and of his association, which began when he was 12, with the rock group The Doors and its leader, Jim Morrison.
Customer Reviews
This is a good one
Fantastic and authentic, Danny talking about all this really “went there” and told his story with no filters or fear
