Hint?
I haven't read that no.
But just because someones an asshole does not imply they had nothing to give to the world. That's actually an informal fallacy for a logical argument.
I'm reading into his life because he was an entertainer and in my eyes a really good poet and song-writer...
edit - look what wikipedia says about your book?
Quote:
The book has been criticized as being obsequious and lacking any meaningful analysis of Morrison's personality, as well as with dwelling on the worst and most pointless of Morrison's excesses, such as his alcoholism. The fact that Sugerman has been described as "the number one Doors fan of the world",[2] has led detractors to label this book "Nothing Here But a Bunch of Lies" and the work of a fabulist. Critics have also opined that the information added by Sugerman, which made the manuscript more appealing to publishers, was sensationalism and in some cases outright fabrication. Those who knew both Morrison and Sugerman have said Sugerman's touting of himself as an "insider" during the time Morrison was alive is an exaggeration at best. Material introduced by Sugerman included insinuations that Morrison had not really died and wild speculations about the possible causes of his death. Surviving family and friends were not pleased with the unwanted entreaties by stalkers looking for Morrison and the vandalization of his grave by fans hoping to exhume Morrison's body. Sugerman's credibility was not helped by the fact that he lifted part of his book's foreword almost word-for-word from Venable Herndon's biography James Dean: A Short Life.
The book title is taken from the Doors song "Five To One," and is broken down into three sections: The Bow is Drawn, The Arrow Flies and The Arrow Falls, for the early years of his life, his rise to fame with the Doors and his final years and death, respectively.
