Ray Manzarek met Jim Morrison at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), where both studied as film students. After school had ended in 1965 Manzarek and Morrison met by chance on Venice Beach. Morrison told Ray he had written some songs, and Manzarek expressed an interest in hearing them. Morrison sang a rough version of the song "Moonlight Drive" and Manzarek liked it and co-founded the Doors with Morrison at that moment. Manzarek then recruited drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger at a Transcendental Meditation lecture. The rest is acid-rock history. Ray was not just responsible for the formation of The Doors, he was an intergral part of their sound handling keyboards and bass lines. It was Ray who introduced Jim to the English writer Aldous Huxley whoses famous quote led to the band's name: "There is the known and the unknown, in between are doors."
On May 20, 2013, almost 32 years after Morrison's passing on July 3, 1971, Ray Manzarek lost his long battle with bile duct cancer at a hospital in Rosenheim, Germany, at the age of 74. Peace out Ray.

One of those chills up the spine scenes, when the boy who is still enslaved and has lost his boy Japanese friend to the Kamikaze cult suddenly bursts forth with boyish enthusiasm, proving his spirit is not dead, he is still a boy, his soul still unconquered.

Indeed. And love crosses all lines.
The scene when he and his mother are reunited just simply breaks my heart every time I watch it.

Hi Kathy!
Thanks for asking but our petition failed. We fell short of signatures. But we’ll boot him out in the 2014 election.
Have a great weekend.

Near the end of Slingerland's Niles, Il. days, master builder Greg Hagwood (father of
Bruce Hagwood, master builder & founder of RBH Drum Co., famous for Monarch Vintage Drums) hand-built 5 of these "Magnum-Force" kits commissioned by Nigel Olson for the 1984 world tour. 26" Double bass drums, 6 oversized toms (12', 13", 14', 15", 16" & 18"), consecutive serial numbers and a chrome finish over 9-ply rock maple shells. Nigel took 2 of the kits for his tour with Elton John (which I've heard were destroyed) and Phil Ehart of Kansas took 2 others (which may or may not be in a warehouse somewhere worse for road wear). That left the factory with the orphan kit which they displayed as the centerpiece at the '84 NAMM show where my man Eddie Hancock got them as part of a 600 kit contract for Alpha Music. They sat in his showroom for 2 more years as I (and every drummer on the east coast) drooled over the drums no one could afford. In 1986, after the demise of America's Slingerland company, my mother figured I had earned my dream kit and presented them to me after I won the Alpha Music "Beat-Off" competion and promptly sold the Pearl kit I won (and yes,
Victor Wooton took the bass prize that year). The chrome cannons have served me well for 27 years and are my prize possesion which I refused to sell even during my recent turmoil. To the right collector, they are priceless.

The local vet cemetery here was busy this morning with the Girl Scouts, Future Farmers, and Boy Scouts all placing flags on the graves in preparation for the Memorial Day ceremony due to take place on May 27th at 1800 hrs MST. They all were as busy as ants at a Picnic.
