Ray Manzarek, Doors Keyboardist, Dies At 74 R.i.p.

[D.B. Cooper]

I love music and I love the music of the Doors and the long version of The Doors "Light My Fire".
Pure genius.
Rest in Peace Brother Ray.

One interesting thing about Manzarek was how verbally articulate he was. Unlike many musicians, he could explain what he was doing to a non-musician. Have a listen to http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6353311

74 years is a pretty long run for a rock musician considering all of the partying those guys (and gals) enjoyed. It's hard to believe Mick Jagger is something like 70! R.I.P Ray. Long live Rock!

Blues musicians lived pretty hard, too, and B.B. King is now 87.
