	The Ray Manzarek Interview (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ray's wife, who is of Japanese descent, had her leg covered in Plaster of Paris resting comfortably on a glass table.
		In the meantime I realized that Ray did not at all appear "to be in a huff", but to the contrary was answering my questions with his well-known enthusiasm and his distinctive facial expressions.
		Ray Manzarek talks in a lively fashion and underlines his words with an abundance of gestures.

		Ray: The original contract was finished with L.A. Woman and then after Jim died and we decided to carry on, we signed with Elektra Records for a five album contract and we did two records on the contract and then we decided not to continue any more.
		Ray: Exactly, well that's why [and it's not just the vocal], that's why I said, when we talked about what would we call this album, I said, "Hey I've got a good idea for the title, let's call this album "Full Circle"" because that meant a coming to the end...
		Ray: Jim had recorded that for a movie he was putting together called "Highway" and it was one of the things he had tape recorded.He went out into the desert with a couple of friends and they shot a bunch of footage...

		Ray Manzarek : By construction workers and all right wingers--all "real Americans." You were on one side or the other when it came to the war on Vietnam, and the other side won.

	Music & Nightlife in Redwood City, CA \| Music Review \| Ray Manzarek
		RAY MANZAREK has been intimately associated with the music of the Doors for the past 40 years, since co-founding the hugely influential band with Jim Morrison, Robbie Krieger and John Densmore in Los Angeles in the late 1960s.
		But Manzarek is insistent that they not be presented as a new incarnation of his old band.
		While Krieger and Manzarek have now reunited, drummer John Densmore remains estranged from his former band mates, partly due to his adamant refusal to allow any Doors songs to be used in commercials.

	The Doors \| RAY MANZAREK (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Ray and I first met at the third recording session of The Doors.
		Then a few years ago I heard Ray playing piano and he heard me reading a long poem "Stanzas in Turmoil." We both said let's start working together, and we'll begin with that piece.
		Ray said about "Stanzas," "I hear a great C major, the wheat fields and the corn fields." When Ray was playing Beethoven's Ninth then it changed and sounded like a divine jazz riff.

		I was sitting in the first row of the mezzanine; not long after I sat down, Ray came in and walked along the aisle right in front of me, I could have shook Ray's hand if I had seen him coming...but he was already past me when I suddenly recognized him...

	Rock 'n' roll retreat / The Doors' Ray Manzarek and his wife savor life in Wine Country
		When keyboardist Ray Manzarek, one of the original members of the rock group the Doors, and his wife, Dorothy, decided it was time to leave Beverly Hills and look for a more simple life in the Wine Country, they knew exactly what they wanted.
		Ray, now a member of the group the Doors of the 21st Century, is still busy touring the globe, so finding a special home and property that would give the couple and their cat, Pumpkin, a place to relax and rejuvenate was important.
		Ray and Dorothy love to cook and wanted an open kitchen that would blend with the rest of the downstairs living area.

		The ex-Police percussionist "amicably" settled his $1 million breach-of-oral-contract lawsuit filed against keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger for dumping the drummer from their reunion lineup earlier this year.
		Original drummer John Densmore, the guy Copeland was tapped to replace, is also suing Manzarek and Krieger for breach of contract, peeved that the pair was touring under the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band's moniker.
		For their part, Manzarek and Krieger say they had Densmore's blessing to hit the road without him, noting that he would have gladly joined them if it weren't for his chronic tinnitus, or ringing in the ear.

		Ray Manzarek: England was our biggest reception, but if we were to play Europe today, I would think that France and Spain and Italy and Germany and Sweden and Denmark and Poland would be equally as receptive as London was in 1968, because everybody is psychedelic now!
		Ray Manzarek: Probably not, but then, the Doors Best Of includes most of those songs anyway, and we're going to be releasing the European version of the Best of that has just about everything on Weird Scenes.

		Manzarek and wife Dorothy, whom he met and married 30 years ago when they were students at UCLA, have just finished a breakfast more fitting for a fitness guru than a rock star, retired or not: papayas, bananas, grapes, orange slices, wheat toast, mineral water, juice.
		Manzarek's first royalty check from the album was $50,000.
		Manzarek said he wrote his book to set the record straight from Oliver Stone's film, "The Doors," which starred Val Kilmer.

	Ray Manzarek - The Doors 21st Century Tour
		Before the show started, there was this one guy who kept walking across the stage behind the drumset (eerily reminiscent of John's set, but with more cymbals) and shading his eyes as he watched the sun pass over the big hill in the back.
		Ray and Robby were both trying to see each other (Robby was jumping up and down within a ring of security guys trying to see Ray and the others).
		Ian had disappeared as the crowd rushed the stage; Ray and Robby were able to play for a few solos and lyricless verses; by the time it was over, only the drummer and bassist were able to play - so they wrapped it up as best they could.

	Rarebird's Doors Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		Most of the vocals are by Manzarek; although he has a distinctive speaking voice, his singing voice is somewhat insipid.
		Manzarek sounds more enthusiastic this time around, but his vocals often sound strained; his stilted delivery on the oldie "Good Rockin' (Tonight)" makes one yearn for Morrison.
		Manzarek's next non-Doors release was his 1983 labor of love Carmina Burana, a modern interpretation of the 1937 German classical opera by Carl Orff (who had died the previous year).

	bookideas.com: Light My Fire: My Life With The Doors by Ray Manzarek
		Ray Manzarek's biography of The Doors is a passionate, proselytizing, polemic - a jolt of energy shedding light on this fascinating period of Rock history.
		As such, it's an worthy foil to John Densmore's Riders on the Storm and, interestingly, Manzarek seems to bear some animus towards his former colleague.
		Manzarek comes across as a sensible older brother to Jim Morrison (there was a 4-years age difference), and although they both indulged in psychotropic substances - marijuana mainly, and LSD, until Manzarek had a terrifyingly bad trip - Manzarek quickly realized that kid-brother Morrison's most self-destructive behavior was influenced by alcohol.

		Manzarek's thin sounding organ (he also performed the part of bass player with the aid of a separate bass keyboard, although Larry Knechtel helped out on the record) recalled the garage band style omnipresent several months earlier, but Krieger's liquid guitar playing and Densmore's imaginative drumming were already clearly evident.
		Manzarek undertook several projects as either artist, producer or manager, but the spectre of the Doors refused to die.
		Manzarek and Krieger reunited in the new millennium, playing live shows as the Doors with the Cult's Ian Astbury on vocals and Stewart Copeland standing in for a temporarily indisposed Densmore.
