I must be getting old: Ray Manzarek (from The Doors) died today. He was seventy-four. He lived a lot longer than his mate Jim Morrison. Far too many musicians died early. Too much fame too early. Ray, at least, made it to a ripe old age. Each year someone else dies who I followed in the sixties and seventies. Of old age. I feel old, today, although I won’t stay there. From dust we come and to dust we shall return. Death and taxes. We all face that one day.
