RIP Ray Manzarek

I was a huge Doors fan in my teenage years. We lost Ray today at age 74.

Been there, James. I had tickets to Janis Joplin, for two weeks AFTER she died.

RIP. He sounded like a pretty intelligent guy in interviews.

I was raised on Ray and the boys, my Mom was a huge Doors fan, and I've loved them my whole life. R.I.P. to my favorite keyboardist of all time.

Two things are funny to me about this post. One that it is only one page after 24 hours, for such a rock icon.
Second is the fact that it was halfway through the day yesterday before I realized we were NOT Talking about an
ex-NFL great from the Raiders. I had to click on the Yahoo-article in order to remember what I already knew.
Then I laughed that I had thought it was a NFL player for half a day.

Listened to "LA Woman" on the way home yesterday and was really impressed with his work on that song. That inspired me to listen to their first two albums back to back once I got home. He was not only well spoken, but very talented.

LOL! Not to threadjack, but I worked with a guy once named Bob Weir, you know, same name as the guy from The Grateful Dead. He was the polar opposite of a hippie musician, though....in fact he was a real PITA as a boss.
