Episode 2 of 3

Paul Gambaccini celebrates the mystique of Jim Morrison including: 鈥楾he Marriage of Heaven and Hell鈥� and 鈥楧readzone Aldous Huxley Readings鈥�.

Had singer Jim Morrison of The Doors not died in mysterious circumstances at the tender age of 27 in 1971 - he would have turned 75 in 2018.
