“There was no keyboard player on the planet more appropriate to support Jim Morrison’s words. Ray, I felt totally in sync with you musically. It was like we were of one mind, holding down the foundation for Robby and Jim to float on top of. I will miss my musical brother.” ― John Densmore.
Rest in Peace Ray Manzarek,
February 12, 1939 - ∞.

Farewell, Ray Manzarek 1939-2013.
Arguably the driving force behind one of the greatest bands to emerge from the 1960s, The Doors, Ray Manzarek will be be sorely missed.
Say hi to Jim for us.
Now Ray Manzarek and Jim Morrison can make beautiful music together in another world. Rest in the peace that your music brought to so many people, Ray.

Reppin’ the classics
The Doors - Peace Frog
Song of the week: Peace Frog
The line “Indians scattered on dawn’s highway bleeding/Ghosts crowd the young child’s fragile eggshell mind” originates from his poem, “Newborn Awakening” (and it also appears at the end of “Ghost Song”). The line is born out of “Dawn’s Highway”, a poem in which Jim describes an event that occurred when he was young. The event was about an auto accident involving a group of Indians that Morrison’s family came across on the highway. Morrison, who was a child at the time, felt that the ghosts of the Indians took up residence in his soul. Morrison described this incident, using a rare mention of his parents:
“Me and my — mother and father — and a grandmother and a grandfather — were driving through the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian workers had either hit another car, or just — I don’t know what happened — but there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death.”
“So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time I tasted fear. I musta’ been about four — like a child is like a flower, his head is floating in the breeze, man.”

“It’s very strange how electronic music formatted itself and forgot that its roots are about the surprise, freedom, and the acceptance of every race, gender, and style of music into this big party.” — Thomas Bangalter
