THE DOORS ~

 

FOREVER YOUNG ~

This book became an immediate bible for me when read years ago and it's a delight to see Jac Holzman has not slowed down one-step since the early 1950s. For all of us who grew up cherishing, coveting, sharing Elektra LPs and all the great acts on those albums, here's to Jac Holzman and Paul Rothchild and others.
