Ray Manzarek, RIP

[Harry Gypsna]

Well , yet another of the musicians I got stoned to in my teens has shuffled off.
Ray Manzarek, organist with The Doors has popped his clogs at 74.
I always though Robbie would be next to go, Ray seemed to be the healthiest of the bunch.

Thanks for the memories Ray, so many of my early stoner experiences involve your organ( ooh er missus) and the riffs you got out of it.


When the music's over, turn out the light.

This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end
It hurts to set you free
But you'll never follow me
The end of laughter and soft lies
The end of nights we tried to die
This is the end

Even my 11 and 13 y.o. are bummed.

 

[yesum]

Time flies by. 74 is not that old in today's world either.

Hope Jim and Ray are getting together on the other side.

seriously gave me a sick feeling in my stomach

The Doors are so close to my heart

Ray played a big part in Jim's life, imagine the times they had..... wow

 

[Max Headroom]

woke up to read this news. sad.
love, love, LOVE the doors. ray's keyboard is at least as important as jim's lyrics/voice.

thanks for all the music, ray. and thanks for your interesting autobiography.

The days are bright and filled with pain
Enclose me in your gentle rain
The time you ran was too insane
We'll meet again, we'll meet again
