<3 DOORSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSss

A legend. RIP.

Shit this makes me sad!!!

When I was a music journalist I had lunch with Ray and we talked about The Doors and Jim Morrison (of course). I remember him saying, over and over at various points throughout our interview: "Jim was a Shaman, man...."

He would say that again and again to make a point about Jim: "Jim was a Shaman, man." (Ray used the word "man" more than a Valley Girl uses the word "like". LOL) I loved him.

RIP friend.

Makes me think of Dennis Hopper's character a bit:
