I buy "review copies" or close-out editions of most new books from Half Price Books. No sence in paying $24.95 for a book that I can find for $4.95 in under a year (or sometimes in the first month of release).
And I am behind on reading autobiographies. I do have Manzarek's and have read some but not all of it.
Ray Manzarek has done some recording and performance off and on with a poet, Michael McClure, in recent years. He also produced the LA band X in the 1980s.

Good to learn Ray's keeping busy.
But the work Ray'll be remember for he did when he was a very young man, filled with spit & vinegar & it sounded like it.
On his one solo album he performed a protest song called, "America, love it or leave it".
It mocked the then "rednecks" who told the "hippies" the same thing.
The CD would be worth that song alone.
They sure don't make 'em like that, anymore & since I collect classic rock (to the tune of 3,600 CDs) I'd love adding it to my collection.
...just for posterity. ;^)
