Ray was a great steward for Jims legacy. I can see the brotherly love he had for Jim throughout his interviews. The Doors are a phenomenon and unique among their peers. Much love and gratitude to enjoy this great band.
American Prayer is a masterpiece,i used to had it on vinyl,now i got it on cd.The music of the Doors and the lyrics of Jim is a eternal inspiration for Generations.Jim was a poet and could see for miles.Yes there are things we know and there are things that we don't know and there are The Doors...Riders on the storm.....Bird of pray flying high🙏 RiP Jim and Ray🎙📝🎵🎹♾
You mention "Yes there are things we know and there are things that we don't know" very true, & strange you should say that as when I lived in America from '77-'84, I NEVER once heard about Jim Morrison's Father being part of the "Establishment" as a Rear Admiral for The United States Navy and responsible for the Gulf of Tonkin false flag. I and others now know that the "Hippie's" which as Dave McGowan revealed in his best selling book "Weird Scenes Inside The Canyon" Laurel Canyon,Covert Ops & The Dark Heart Of The Hippie Dream" were nothing more than a cultural construct created by the CIA to derange and entire generation w/ the American war in Vietnam and mind warping psychosis inducing drugs norrmalised and used by the "Rockstar's" of this era. Thanks for your comment! #Peace
That statement makes no logical sense. Why would the US government want to "derange" an entire generation as it needs soldiers to fight in Vietnam? I don't really see '60s era bureaucrats as influential trend setters in pop culture, either. I can't see any motive for any of this, ignoring the logistical impossibility of such a campaign, either.
I’m curious if Robbie wrote most of the lyrics to his own initiative work since I heard Robbie and Morrison were the two initiators when it came too song writing while every member was in charge of the creativity of their own instrument for the most part?
Id seen where this guy named bill Loyer In Oregon was Jim and he was interested in seeing ray but Danny put an end to that. The guy even looks like Jim That supposedly was in 2008 I think
An American prayer should be released minus the music, Danny was fairly wrong to say Jim didn't complete anything without out the rest of the band as the spoken word stuff was never supposed to have the band's music to it, Paul Rothschild said it was the rape of Jim Morrison and I can't help but feel it was just cashing in
So was Ray :( he might still be here too. Perhaps the chances of getting the cancer he had could have been reduced without smoking. Smoking increases so many illnesses.
Morrison was no more a "poet" than the man in the moon. He'd jam a chaotic jumble of acid fueled words together, with little to no meaning, if any intelligence, and people said it was "deep". It wasn't. It was shallow. And these two guys know it. But they play along for the money. Ha, ha, ha! I don't blame them. Why not? But Morrison was rather pitiful in the lyrics department. Art? Not! LSD word scramble? Yep.
Steve McCormick he'd been writing poetry since high school, at least, but probably much longer before then. Long before he ever left his strict home and tried LSD. So I give his works more credit than just the LSD or other psychedelics
fernando lopez - every schmoe who could hold a pencil called himself a "poet". I know as I was there and saw it all around me. It was "the thing" everyone thought was cool. Bob Dylan more or less made it the rage as he was given so much media attention and money by the oligarch controlled press, magazines, and television. So it was"monkey see monkey do" for all kinds of young people who figured if Bob Dylan's drivel was "deep", important, and got him so much fame, money, etc. then they could do it too. Morrison was one of many. Only problem was they didn't have the backing of the well-oiled money machine of our controllers. The elites used the likes of Dylan and Morrison to mislead and destroy 3-4 generations of young people. With drug use, nonsensical lyrics of moronic simplicity, and loud beating electronic sounds posing as music, it made irrational idiots out of scores of unsuspecting victims.
Oh, look who's getting deep now!?!?!?This "deeply " insightful analysis of media, music fans, and artists makes me wish we had received this kind of "insight" in 1966. Steve! You were there! Why didn't you give the masses the benefit of your lofty perspective.
Charles Atwood - because I had no idea of what or how was going on around me at the time. I only knew on a gut level that something was stinky. I was one of the fortunate young people that didn't fall hook line and sinker for the hoax. I dabbled, but knew something was hinky about it all, so I held back. I'll be the first to say I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer. Since those times "way back then" I've come to understand, as you say, on a "deeper" level, that we were all tricked by a contrived long range plan of social engineering, into the next level of debasement that has helped give us today's lovely society. I learned about this from others, far more intelligent than little old me. Is that a problem? Look at the written lyrics of Morrison's songs. Childish drivel for the most. The owner of the Whiskey a GoGo, where the Doors were the house band, laughingly describes their music as "a carnival sound". That sums it up. A carnival sound (the keyboard WAS like a merry-go-round) with goofy lyrics. Deep eh? There you have it.
All this sounds like to me is hate. His music and poetry isnt for anymore as other poets aren't for me, yes some songs a bit wacky (still amazing songs) but its just a different piont of view, perception. The doors. What would you consider poetry? As you said anyone with a pencil is a poet. "Youll be dead in hell before im born" great line from Jim as many others. Their music was and is great. Just never seen do much hate for The Doors

Well said !
How lovely, I love the way Ray talks about the past, and Jim, such kindness in his voice. Great thanks to them for the work they did, blessed.

@@rsmith02 You missed the whole point, no need to explain it to you.
The fact that Morrison had no musical training and couldn't read music, but went on to be one of the greatest front men is astounding.
Absolutely the music is absolutely spooky.
That's right, I just want to add that he was also an amazing songwriter, which is even more astounding, considering his lack of musical training.
@@454cassul9 I think his love for poetry definitely helped, probably spent a great deal of his free time writing.
Jim Morrison was so lucky to have family like these guys
Thanks for the upload!
I love how Manzarek explains any less obvious word or reference 😉 He has a certain opinion on his audience. But he's not getting condescending 😊
I had "An American Prayer" on cassette back in 1990 but lost it sometime over the years. I should buy the CD.
"Don't turn out the lights..The music's NOT over!!"...🛀😖
Click & see Danny & Ray talk about David Bowie, Iggy Pop & Rolling Stone Editor Jann Wenner th-cam.com/video/u6DYhkbxeNg/w-d-xo.html
Danny is amused by Ray's great storytellings. He's heard it hundreds of times before. He worshipped Jim, Ray and the guys... Cute..
Now I want to know what the surviving Doors were recording in 1977. They disbanded in '73.
Probably in1977 John, Robby & Ray were recording 'An American Prayer', since it was released in 1978.
I’m curious if Robbie wrote most of the lyrics to his own initiative work since I heard Robbie and Morrison were the two initiators when it came too song writing while every member was in charge of the creativity of their own instrument for the most part?
The doors👍😘 ❤😇
There are 4 other short interviews w/ Ray & Danny on my channel, well worth checking out! Peace

Danny looks wasted here shame :-( :-( :-( :-( RIP JIM RAY & DANNY
Too bad Sugerman was a smoker. He might still be alive today at 65.
So was Ray :( he might still be here too. Perhaps the chances of getting the cancer he had could have been reduced without smoking. Smoking increases so many illnesses.
Both my mom and dad died from cancers brought on by smoking.
Danny Sugerman high on heroin here.
absolutely !
@@YevgenyNY yep
