Clearwater's History Comes Alive in Jim Morrison Book by Bird Stevens
- by Francine Coleman Larson
A PICTORIAL HISTORY AND COLLECTION OF TALES FROM THE LIFE OF CLEARWATER'S ROCK LEGEND
If you remember Jim Morrison from The Doors, you may not realize he lived in Clearwater, Fl. at one time. I met Traci (Bird Stevens) a couple of years ago, when she was writing her book about Jim Morrison. Not only is this book about a celebrity, but it contains some history of the Clearwater area and how things were back in the day.
Jim Morrison's Clearwater Then and Now is a project that has taken me nearly 10 years to write. I was first introduced to the seductive poetry of Jim Morrison when I was 12 years old, listening intently in my bedroom to the hypnotic words of his An American Prayer album coming from my cassette player. Then I began a journey to learn everything I could about The Doors and the mysterious person behind the words I was listening to.
