I am saddened to hear this. At first there were rumors that it was a hoax, and I couldn't find anything about it anywhere. Now it has been confirmed :(

The powers that be will have to do some merging of threads for this one. They'll take care of it. No worries.

I'm sorry for your loss OLMNJ :(
My eyes haven't been dry in a few hours now
so much death in the news
it's sad and scary to realize that your idols are dropping left and right .
anyone's death makes you ponder your own mortality and that of your loved ones.
no one here gets out alive...
but it doesn't make it any easier to handle

definitely!
and i love that Take It Easy quote...
I actually quoted that in my mom's mother's day card this year
The oldest member of the Doors--so likeable, great demeanor, and unusually talented on keyboards every song.

The Doors had a very unique sound because of the prominent keyboards. I've always enjoyed their music. RIP Ray.

Im not old enough to have seen the Doors but I did see Manzarek backnin 1993 in nyc and also sae krieger a couple times that year. They were must see shows to me. I just recently got densmores autograph at a book signing.
So i guess the chance of a benefit reunion with jimmy fallon is now an impossibilty as had been suggestes recently.
Btw t&h densmore was on fallon last week.
