John Densmore of The Doors signing books in Raleigh tonight

The Doors' drummer John Densmore is coming to town tonight to sign copies of his book The Doors Unhinged, which is about his legal battle with fellow Doors members Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger about the continued use of the band name for tours as well as other artistic integrity conflicts.

Densmore will appear at Schoolkids Records in Raleigh at 7 p.m. tonight, September 15. In addition to signing copies of The Doors Unhinged, he will also be signing one copy of a Doors' record for each person. The store has stocked up on copies of the book as well as Doors' albums.

Check out a video of Densmore playing The Doors' classic "Riders on the Storm" with some faculty from Bergen Community College in New Jersey earlier this year below.

Butch Walker schedules "Drinking With Strangers" signing in the Triangle

Butch Walker's memoir, Drinking with Strangers: Music Lessons from a Teenage Bullet Belt, is being released next Tuesday, Oct. 25, and the rocker-turned-author has scheduled a handful of book signings to coincide with tour stops, including one right here in the Triangle.

Walker will be at the UNC Bulls Head Bookshop on the second floor of Student Stores on UNC's campus next Friday, Oct. 28, at 1 p.m.

The Georgia native surely has some tales to tell, from his teenage years touring China in a hair metal band to working as a producer and songwriter for the likes of Pink and Avril Lavigne and his own "mid-level success" (his term) as a solo artist. The first chapter of Drinking with Strangers is currently available for download on Walker's facebook page, and all but guarantees the rest of the 200-odd pages will be a interesting read for those interested in the inner workings of the music business.
