[PAR] [TLE] The Doors [SEP] The Doors were an American rock band formed in 1965 in Los Angeles, with vocalist Jim Morrison, keyboardist Ray Manzarek, guitarist Robby Krieger, and drummer John Densmore.  The band got its name, at Morrison's suggestion from the title of Aldous Huxley's book "The Doors of Perception", which itself was a reference to a quote made by William Blake, "If the doors of perception were cleansed, everything would appear to man as it is, infinite."  They were unique and among the most controversial and influential rock acts of the 1960s, mostly because of Morrison's lyrics and charismatic but unpredictable stage persona.  After Morrison's death in 1971 at age 27, the remaining members continued as a trio until disbanding in 1973. [PAR] [TLE] No One Here Gets Out Alive [SEP] No One Here Gets Out Alive (1980) was the first biography of Jim Morrison, lead singer and lyricist of the L.A. rock band The Doors, written nearly a decade after Morrison's death by journalist Jerry Hopkins, with "insider" information added by Danny Sugerman.  Hopkins had done an extensive interview with Morrison before his death, but his first manuscript was rejected by major publishers.  Sugerman began working as an assistant in the Doors office at the age of 13, and became their manager after Morrison died (replacing Bill Siddons).
