Did I just hear right?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

Ray Manzarek of The Doors is SEVENTY YEARS OLD TODAY????????????

[Starbucks Anarchist]

1. I met him once.

Very nice guy.

[Left Is Write]

2. That's not surprising.

That would make him 27 when I was born in 1966, which sounds about right.

3. that was my first Doors record, I had a crush on Ray Manzarek

[Tangerine LaBamba]

4. Is that the one with "Touch Me" on it?

We almost used that song for our 1969 wedding, except my soon-to-be-husband couldn't go through with it because - he had a Ph.D. in American Language and Literature and was a college professor - couldn't bear the horrid grammar in that song.

"... 'til the stars fall from the sky
for you and I....."

We went the Simon and Garfunkel route instead, god forgive us.

9. Touch Me was on the Soft Parade album

I have a Simon/Garfunkle album...Greatest Hits haha

[femmocrat]

5. Yes, I heard it too.

How the hell did that happen!

[Tangerine LaBamba]

6. Damn

I think it must be another Ray Manzarek. Some old guy. Not the one we know.

Pass me that doobie, will ya?

7. wasnt Morrison in his thirties when he died

?

[Tangerine LaBamba]

8. Let me google, but first,

let me guess.

I think he was maybe thirty-two when he died.

Now, to the google ---------------------------------------------------->

Whooops.

I forgot he was part of that twenty-seven-year-old-dead-rock-star triumvirate that included Janis Joplin and Jimi Hendrix.

Only twenty-seven when he bought the farm.

Jesus.
