The Doors 'Unhinged' by John Densmore

When surviving Doors members Ray Manzarek and Robbie Krieger decided to take $15 million to
allow Cadillac to use one of the group's songs in an ad, it was the start of a major rift
with bandmate John Densmore.
Densmore chronicles that fight in his new book The Doors: Unhinged, out this April via
Amazon's CreateSpace and Kindle Direct Publishing.
The disagreement started with the ad but grew even bigger when Manzarek and Krieger decided
to tour under the name of The Doors of the 21st Century using Morrison's image to promote
their trek. That was enough for Densmore, who sued his former bandmates with the support of
Morrison's parents, defending the late-singer's artistic integrity. Manzarek and Krieger
countersued. The case took more than five years of Densmore's life
