What is Ray Manzarek?
1.
The organist, keyboardist, keyboard-bassist for the 1960's and 1970's LA rock band The Doors. Ray attended UCLA film school with Jim Morrison and they formed the band in 1966. When singer Morrison was too drunk to sing, Ray would take his place for him. Thats right; he played the organ, keyboard-bass, AND sang at the smae time!!
Ray's also pretty much the studliest person to ever wear Ray Bans, period.
T: "Ray Manzarek is the most intense guy in the world."
M: "He's gotta butt-chin and sum massive sideburns."
T: "Bet he's hung like a camel though!"
