Several years ago, I found this book at a local newspaper stand. I had heard so many rumors of Jim Morrison being alive and well and living in Louisiana that I decided to buy it. It is apparently authored by a local eccentric form a relatively influential family from Baton Rouge, who actually changed his name to Jim Morrison on the grounds that the late rock star's spirit entered his LSD-laced body during a Mardi Gras at Lee's Circle, and then inspired him to shake the establishment by subverting it's finacial institutions.It's difficult to tell if the many misspelled words are done so unwittingly or with artistic intent, or are the loose associations of a psychotic mind. Strangely enough, there is reportedly some truth to the author's claims of swindling the Bank of America (although he states that the story is classifed as fiction for the purposes of judicial review), and he actually later ran for lieutenant governor of Louisiana on the platform that he was the perfect person for a high-paying, do-nothing job.
