In this episode, we open the door to the Morrison Library as one of the hosts of Astonishing Legends, Forrest Burgess, joins me to talk about one of the lesser known influences on Jim, author Charles Fort. We talk about his “Book of the Damned,” Jim Morrison’s poetry books, Jim’s student films, and much more.
