In Memoriam: Ray Manzarek

I heard the news of Ray's passing the day after. I was shocked and flabbergasted. I wanted to wait a day to say my piece on the man we simply call "Ray." I first came to know the Doors in the early 80's when my cousins bought the Greatest Hits album. I was immediately hooked and the rest was history.

One thing I absolutely hate is when a DJ is playing a Doors song and the douchebag introduces the band as; "Jim Morrison and the Doors." Wrong. The Doors is comprised of 4 super talented musicians. Another thing I hate is rock radio playing the same 5 Doors songs. Enough with "Break on through," "Light my fire," "Touch me," "Roadhouse blues," and "Love her madly." The Doors is not a top 40 or one hit wonder band. The band is pushing 50 and hasn't played a gig together in over 40 years and still selling!

As for Ray, his talent is scary. The band didn't have a bass player, so Ray played his Vox organ and a Fender Rhodes keyboard bass! When you go on YouTube watch him play. He's playing two different instruments. Yes they are keyboards, but one is an organ and one is a bass! Listen to "when the music's over." That's Ray doing the organ sound and bass!! Manzarek also played guitar and sang! Ray was  1/4 of one of the greatest rock and roll bands in history. No other band sound like the Doors. Period. The band broke so much ground in the music industry it's not funny. Here's a short list of accomplishments still used today:

• Heavy use of keyboards/synthesizers. All the music in the 80's was because of Ray Manzarek. 
• Recording songs longer than the standard 2:30-3:00. "Light my Fire" and "The End" led us to "Stairway to Heaven," "Starship Trooper," and "Freebird."
• The use of improvisation. The Doors and Grateful Dead gave us jams and Jam bands.
• The use of film. Manzarek and Morrison were film school students and recorded some of the first ever music videos which led us to Music Television (MTV) and now YouTube.
• Recording music when one of the performers has died. All the Duets albums are courtesy of the 1978 album "An american Prayer." The surviving Doors composed music to accompany the spoken word of Jim Morrison who passed away seven years earlier. 

Besides the musician we need to look at Ray Manzarek the man. He's been married since 1967 despite free love Manzarek preferred the institution of marriage. Ray also had a very positive outlook on life. In every interview he is smiling, laughing, joking. Never a scowl on his face or attempting to avoid fans. In fact, there are youtube clips of Ray walking up and playing with garage bands! Ray was also a workhorse. In his 70's he still wanted to go on the road. He toured with Robbie Krieger, Michale McClure, and Roy Rogers.He did this while fighting cancer, in which he kept private. As for his feud and lawsuits with John Densmore, that's for the Doors family to work out. Now that Ray has passed, let's hope John and Robbie can bury the hatchet.

I had the opportunity to see and meet Ray and Robbie at a concert in Norfolk, VA in 2008. It was one of the best concerts of my life. And I tried to be unbiased as possible. Ray even played a song with the help of his right foot! His right foot has more talent than I have in my entire body! After the show I met Ray and he was as pleasant as can be despite the fact I was very nervous and intoxicated! Ray you are surely missed already!

An open letter to Adam Kokesh

Adam:

You are holding a protest march from Arlington, VA to Washington, Dc and back to Virginia on the 4th of July. You are proposing marchers come with firearms loaded and slung. I urge you not to. Here is why:

-Some of the marchers will be from gun nut groups such as the National Rifle Association or Gun Owners of America. These organizations have no concern for education or safety. Other participants include: active or retired law enforcement officers, and current or former military personnel. First off these people have no business handling firearms, and according to the Department of Homeland Security, these veterans are terrorists!

-There is no need to protest the government! We have an efficient government that spends its money wisely, has a strong defense defending its borders from foreign invaders, with as little regulation and interference as possible, causing a strong economy. We as Americans are fortunate to have an ethical, honest, and open government.

-Besides; where in the constitution are people allowed to demonstrate and allowed to have guns?

-There is no reason to carry firearms! Residents of Detroit, Chicago and Baltimore are not allowed to possess firearms and they are some of the safest of cities.

-Two words: Cathy Lanier: When you think of top cops names like Wyatt Earp, Elliot Ness, J. Edgar Hoover, and Cathy Lanier. Lanier is god of policing and loved among the rank and file. Just ask her cops. The $250,000 a year chief has brought down crime. Northeast and Southeast safer than ever. Now on Saturday nights people enjoying an evening downtown do not have to worry about black youths wreaking havoc.

Adam: I urge you to stay at home, have a cookout and watch the fireworks at the National Mall on July 4th.

The case FOR amnesty

While America has been glued on Boston and the soap opera As Chechnya Turns  continues, Congress has been quietly been pushing amnesty for over 11 million (mostly Hispanic) illegal aliens. Both the Republicans and Democrats want these people legalized for two reasons. Democrats: votes. Republicans: cheap labor.

Personally; I feel that we should welcome these people for open arms. Here's why:

1) If these people are given citizenship, they would be eligible for more welfare programs. They are already given numerous welfare benefits including food stamps, health care, and others. Now we need to give them section 8, and direct welfare payments.

2)Job opportunities; with the unemployment rate hovering at around 8 percent and more American's than ever not looking for work, we need more unskilled people competing for less and less jobs. White people can compete against these new citizens thanks to Affirmative Action programs.

3)Social Security. With Social Security broke, we need more people who have not contributed since the age of 16 be able to collect and then have their parents file and collect until death after living here after 5 years.

4)Crime: we need to make the members of the Mexican Mafia and MS-13 citizens so when if they are arrested by police, they will not be shipped back home for immigration violation. They could serve their time here and then continue to live in our neighborhoods.

5)Population density: these people need housing, electricity, and water. They drive cars that run on gasoline. Schools need to continue to build more classrooms.

6)Language: last century people immigrated and either learned English. When we reward these 11+ million in, there will still be a need to press 2 for Spanish and businesses will still need to advertise in Spanish and parts of Los Angeles, New York, and other cities can look like a foreign country in the name of diversity and tolerance!

Shooting targets of whites only

The Department of Homeland Security contracted out to a company to make shooting targets. All of the targets include: pregnant women, children, and the elderly holding firearms. All white. The White Middle Class is pissed, own guns and know the constitution. The government is going to war with the same people who keep this country afloat. No the illegal immigrant, not the Obama phone recipients, and not the Muslims that wish to do us harm. Here's the link to the targets:

Chris Dorner...the whole story

While I was watching the Chris Dorner situation unfolded, I was thinking that there was some things missing. As usual we have a perspective that everyone else chooses to ignore. First Dorner was a absolute fuck up and a problem child with the LAPD. But since he was black, the Department probably wanted to keep him to make sure the department is "diverse." Next: the media portrayed Dorner as some sort of hero. Finally; there was no mention of demands of tighter gun control despite the number of people killed. Virginia Tech, Tuscon, Aurora, and Newtown was all gun bans all the time. But a black left wing racist. Silence. Here is my report of Dorner.

Dorner

 

-College graduate, Navy Reservist.

-Joined LAPD academy class in 2005, disciplinary problem.  Showed up for a run wearing neon sneakers despite being ordered to wear either black or white sneakers only. Kicked out of his academy class for accidental discharge of his firearm. Finished training with another class. Made complaints against fellow recruits.

Officer in 2006. While in the field made numerous mistakes.   Lied about a fellow officer kicking a man when the officer wrote a disparaging report against Dorner. All charges against the reporting officer were false.  Claimed LAPD was RACIST!

-Fired by LAPD in 2009 for filing a false report. During disciplinary hearing, armed guards were summoned for security reasons.

-Allegedly shoots and kills Monica Quan and Keith Lawrence Feb 2013. Quan was the daughter of the police capt who represented Dorner at his disciplinary hearing.

Oppression of the White Male

America's richest area

What part of the country can boast 7 of the 10 richest counties in the US? Or median home prices over $450,000? Or median income highest in the nation? And can boast more migration than everywhere else?Let's look at the industry this are is in, For example; New York's industry is finance and media. San Francisco's industry is computers/IT. Houston, TX industry is oil and shipping. This area I am talking about: 

      -Has no manufacturing industry

                                                             -Has no technology industry   

                                                             -Has no media/entertainment industry

                                                             -Has no financial industry/banking industry

                                                             -Has no shipping/interstate commerce industry

                                                             -Has no pharmaceutical industry

     -Has no oil/natural gas industry

                                                             -Not dependent on tourism

The area I'm talking about is Washington, DC and the industry is GOVERNMENT! Why is Washington flourishing while the rest of the country is sinking? Simple; the federal government is the only industry where it can print its own money and is not subject to market forces. I live here and I HATE IT! People here are clueless as to what goes on outside I-495. Perfect example; while the last time the government was on the verge of shutdown due to the debt limit debate, America was saying shut government down, government is out of control and needs to cool off. The idiots in the Beltway were saying we need government to keep running and that the rest of America does not understand. These Washingtonians are self righteous, self centered, self serving, and pretentious. They all think that they are somebody because they know somebody who might be important. How bad s it here? On a Saturday in January, the Galleria at Tysons Corner ( high end mall) is mobbed with people. At this mall is an American Girl doll store where parents can shell out $100 for a doll (made in China) and get the dolls' hair styled! Meanwhile in California 22,000 people applied for a position with the California Highway Patrol, and there are over 4,000 announced layoffs in January so far!

Unless we stop electing and re-electing Democrats and Republicans, we are going to look like every other third world flophouse.
