Bestselling author and legendary Doors drummer John Densmore offers a powerful exploration of the "greed gene"-that part of the human psyche that propels us toward the accumulation of more and more wealth, even at the expense of our principles, friendships, and the well-being of society. This is the gripping account of the legal battle to control The Doors's artistic destiny. In it, Densmore looks at his conflict with his bandmates over the right to use The Doors's name, revealing the ways in which this struggle mirrors and reflects a much larger societal issue.

Si tuvieras que explicarle a un alien qué diablos es la música, ¿cómo lo harías? Nada fácil, ¿cierto? Porque la música está presente en nuestra vida desde que nacemos, con las canciones que marcan nuestro primer amor y ruptura, hasta las que algunos eligen para partir. La música nos recuerda los mejores momentos, todos esos lugares y personas que nos provocan tanta emoción que queremos cantar, gritar y subir todo el volumen. Lo sabemos: la música es el lenguaje universal, sin fronteras culturales ni idiomáticas, que toca nuestro lado más profundo.

Are you a terrible singer? Have you been told that you're tone-deaf? Were you asked to mime in the school choir? Would you love to join a choir, but you don't think you could ever be good enough to do so? If you've answered yes to any of those questions, this book is aimed specifically at you. Here is a fact; if you can recognise melodies, you're highly unlikely to be tone-deaf, and therefore you have the potential to learn to sing. It doesn't matter how many people have told you that you can't sing, the truth is that you probably can be taught how to do so.
