Reviews"JohnDensmore has the heart of a seeker. Always aiming, not for the sparrow, but forthe eye of the sparrow in his search for meaning. His compass took himstraight to the core of the moment and of the people he was drawn to by hisuncanny ability to divine wisdom throughout his fairly frenzied life. It isreaffirming and gratifying to those of us who shared some of the same friendsto revisit those unique and original souls."-- OliviaHarrison, author of George Harrison: Living in the Material World, "John Densmore wrote this book about great artists he's known in the same fashion that he plays drums and lives his life. He understands and demonstrates the value of both silence and sound, space and statement. All the while, he brings us backstage to the parties and personalities that have inspired greatness and been cautionary tales of excess. He proves that it's never too late to grow and these are teachable moments from the life of a master."-- John Doe of X, and co-author of Under the Big Black Sun and More Fun in the New World, "John Densmore wrote this book about great artists he's known in the same fashion that he plays drums and lives his life.

SynopsisThe iconic drummer of The Doors investigates his own relationship with creativity and explores the meaning of artistry with other artists and performers in this compelling and spellbinding memoir. Whether it's the curiosity that blossoms after we listen to our favorite band's newest record, or the sheer admiration we feel after watching a knockout performance, many of us have experienced art so pure-so innovative-that we can't help but wonder afterwards: "How did they do that?" And yet, few of us are in a position to be able to ask those memorable legends where their inspiration comes from and how they translated it into something fresh and new. Fortunately for us, this book is here to offer us a bridge. In The Seekers , John Densmore--the iconic drummer of The Doors and author of the New York Times bestseller Riders on the Storm-- digs deep into his own process and draws upon his privileged access to his fellow artists and performers in order to explore the origins of creativity itself. Weaving together anecdotes from the author's personal notebooks and experiences over the past fifty years, this book takes readers on a rich, thought-provoking journey into the soul of the artist. By understanding creativity's roots, Densmore ultimately introduces us to the realm of everyday inspirations that imbue our lives with meaning. Inspired by the classic spiritual memoir Meetings with Remarkable Men , this book is fueled by Densmore's abundant collection of transformative experiences--both personal and professional--with everyone from Ravi Shankar to Patti Smith, Jim Morrison to Janis Joplin, Bob Marley to Gustavo Dudamel, Lou Reed to Van Morrison, Jerry Lee Lewis to his own dear, late Doors bandmate Ray Manzarek. Ultimately, the result is not only a look into the hearts and minds of some of the most important artists of the past century--but a way for readers to identify and ignite their own creative spark, and light their own fire.

    The Seekers

    I have really wanted to read this book for a good while now and I’m stoked to finally have it and after reading just a few pages I realized that I should not have waited so long to do so. It’s an easy read and in my opinion well worth it. A book that makes you want to continue reading or not put it down is sometimes rare! This book is that kind of book.

    Rather lightweight with some exceptional material for an enjoyable read.

    John Densemore shares with us his experiences with other musicians and spiritual leaders he encountered through his life. Wonderful stories and a great read, but he is not the world's greatest writer. Acceptable though with most the stories being interesting. Also a great record to share with future generations who failed to be part of this period in time.
