There is a radio show called the Markly, Van Camp, and Robbins show and they do a segment in their third hour every friday(2:00 PM CDT) here and it is the top 5 songs with a certain theme, last week it was with the word "light"

Well any way one would think "Light my Fire" by The Doors would be #1, it wasn't, it was #3, Journey came in #1 with "Lights in the City", well anyway the dj's were snarky about "Light my Fire" saying the keyboard and guitar solos were too long. basically dissing Ray and Robby, and they don't take phone calls.

They could have played the single version, which got rid of the guitar solo. Of course finding that in 2023 might be a challenge. It’s almost a legendary item now. My #1 would probably be Zappa’s City of Tiny Lites. But I’m contrarian like that.

I read his biography and it seems like in his later days, the group had trouble getting him to work

Yep, that came out on a video biography I stumbled upon. He would show up to gigs totally out of it, often unable to even perform. Then he got weirder. I believe he was arrested for indecent exposure at a concert. They took time off prior to the court date or something and he later died. I don't think it every made it to court. He was a messed up dude in the end.
