Sex and drugs and rock & roll. For Danny Sugarman, it was the teenage dream come true. Besides fast cars, pretty women, and record industry success, he had developed a close friendship with Jim Morrison -- lyricist, philosopher, and lead singer of the phenomenally influential 60s rock band The Doors -- all before the tender age of twenty. But Morrison, a rebel poet and adherent to the credo that living life to the fullest meant constantly tempting death, set Sugarman on a course toward self-destruction. Suddenly, the dream had become a $400-a-day heroin nightmare. Miraculously, he survived. In chilling detail and with absolute honesty, Danny Sugarman re-creates the fascinating tale of life in rock & roll's fastest lane; of its twisting, winding, exhilirating path; and of an unplanned turn-off onto that road to ruin... Wonderland Avenue.
