- by Charlotte Runcie
JIM MORRISON'S NOTEBOOK IS TO BE AUCTIONED OFF NEXT MONTH. THE 100 PAGES OF WRITING, WHICH REVEAL AN ECLECTIC STREAM OF CONSCIOUSNESS, ARE EXPECTED TO FETCH UP TO $300,000
A leather-bound notebook belonging to Jim Morrison is to be auctioned off next month in Los Angeles. The musician's handwritten entries in the book reveal, according to The Times and BNPS, his confused and tortured thoughts, likely to have been influenced by heavy drug use.
The notes written by The Doors's lead singer, who died in France aged 27, show a series of disjointed thoughts ranging from poetry to personal philosophy. They are expected to fetch up to $300,000 (£186,000).
The opening page reads: "Will we spoil the best secrets of life or will we help to free a new kind of man?"
