Morrison/Manzarek was always considered the classic art/commerce duality. But Manzarek created much of the Doors' sound, and was among the best if not the best farsifa organist during the 1960s. R.I.P.

 

Produced the first few X albums, too.

Damn. I'm not a Doors fan in general, but he was terrific. RIP.

 

played college basketball at DePaul, or at least was on the team.

 

Would the appropriate one-column headline for his obit be THE END

 

or This is the end , beautiful friend.

 

Billy Zoom. Great rock name. The wide stance and smile.

RIP
