The autobiography opens with Danny aged 21 years and strung out on heroin. He was raised in Beverly Hills and Westchester (LA), given everything he wanted, as a 12 year old was fascinated with The Rolling Stones in 1966, and met the roadie for the (then new) band The Doors umpiring his Little League games. He hit it off with Jim Morrison and while not all band members saw him as more than a pest, hit it off with Jim Morrison, he offers an intimate portrait of Morrison and the increasingly successful band.
I borrowed this from the LAPL and read it in 1989, finding the snapshot of the leader of The Doors very interesting. Many of us were impressed at how Doors fans would visit his grave in Paris. Jim Morrison lived so fast and died so young, Danny Sugerman then being not yet 17 years old. I've never read the rest of the book. No index, no photos.
