"Manzarek credits LSD with helping him pass through the “doors of perception,” the title of the Aldous Huxley book from which the Doors took their name. Once through that door, LSD became unnecessary."

""Manzarek will try his best to explain the “terrible morass we’re in now, the terrible war in Iraq, the bugging of everybody, keeping secrets, lies that have been told to us, visions of an entire generation gone wrong.”

Yep it looks like he is eminently qualified to teach about world affairs/sarcasm

Jim Morrison = Big, fat dead guy in a bathtub.

[dirtboy]

Boy, he sure is full of himself, just like most of his Boomer cohorts.

I don't form my opinions based on what some keyboard player from the Doors thinks.

I base my political opinions on what Madonna thinks :)

Quote: "Ray Manzarek doesn’t just remember the ’60s. He lived the ’60s to their psychedelic, mind-bending hilt..."

...and is, therefore, little more than a dope head to this day and should be ignored whenever speaking.

Shut up and play!

“Leading them to what, Ray?”

"found dead in a bathtub"

I thought it was a swimming pool?

[Trampled by Lambs]

"Rock stars... is there anything they don't know?"

[nickcarraway]

Jim Morrison didn't die, he changed his look and changed his name to....Karl Rove.

...the ’60s were a time of beneficial, consciousness-expanding psychedelics, particularly LSD, Manzarek said.

I gotta admit, this is where I laughed outloud.

Far out, man.

It helps if you read Manzarek's responses with a Tommy Chong voice. Try it:

“We’re not in the golden age, man,”

"In two-three months he had transformed himself ... from 165 pounds of baby fat ... to 135 pounds with bone structure that was just gorgeous. The hair had soft, Alexander the Great ringlet curls. He just looked fabulous,” he said.

Gee Ray, trying to tell us something?

[dinoparty]

This pseudo-intellectual POS needs to wake up and realize that the 60's mentality was nothing more than a dangerous pop fad with lasting destructive consequences. Many of those people who have had their lives destroyed by having drug addicted, sexually promiscuous or despairing family members can thank idiots like him.

“I played Apollo to Jim Morrison’s Dionysius, the Greek god of madness and craziness, the dying and resurrecting god, the fecundity of the earth,” he said.

Kids, this is why it's not a great idea to take beneficial, consciousness-expanding psychedelics...

[GaltMeister]

Groovy, man, I mean the dude is far out, hip, solid, and right on, dude!

Hippies.They're everywhere. They wanna save the earth, but all they do is smoke pot and smell bad.

[Jacquerie]

IMO, LA Woman was their best recording.

“I played Apollo to Jim Morrison’s Dionysius, the Greek god of madness and craziness, the dying and resurrecting god, the fecundity of the earth,” he said.

More like you were Ether, the god of "hot air" cause you are full of it..

This is the End...

[Old Professer]

The public remains infatuated with the messianic mystics, but not so much as they are with themselves.

[Dr.Deth]

Ray Manzarek doesn’t just remember the ’60s. He lived the ’60s to their psychedelic, mind-bending hilt as the keyboardist for the legendary rock band, the Doors.

Fixed.
