Ray Manzarek, founding member and keyboardist of The Doors, has died at the age of 74 from a long bout with cancer. Memoriam donations are being taken in his name at Stand Up To Cancer. From The Doors website: Manzarek is best known for his work with The Doors who formed in 1965 when Manzarek had a chance encounter on Venice Beach with poet Jim Morrison. The Doors went on to become one of the most controversial rock acts of the 1960s, selling more than 100-million albums worldwide, and receiving 19 Gold, 14 Platinum and five multi-Platinum albums in the U.S. alone. “L.A.Woman,” “Break On Through to the Other Side,” “The End,” “Hello, I Love You,” and “Light My Fire” were just some of the band’s iconic and ground-breaking songs. After Morrison’s death in 1971, Manzarek went on to become a best-selling author, and a Grammy-nominated recording artist in his own right. In 2002, he revitalized his touring career with Doors’ guitarist and long-time collaborator, Robby Krieger. Smother Bros.

Photo by Michael Rider Cat witnessed some truly terrible behavior on the J last week. Things got so violent that calling it “douchebaggery” is putting it mildly. I was on the 8:15 a.m. J last Friday. There were a group of teenagers, lounging as they usually do, trying to take up multiple seats. Whatever, they do that all the time. At some point, one of the teenagers started yelling and screaming about how some older man had “moved his leg.” The teen was sitting in the first row of seats that face the driver cabin. The leg in question was sprawled in front of him so that he could block people from sitting in the elderly/handicap seats. He then got up and loomed over the poor fellow. “You scarred bitch.” “I ain’t afraid to pop you in the mouth.” It was very impressive. Finally, when he wasn’t getting the response he wanted, he slapped the seated man. This caused enough of a reaction from the other passengers that he sat down, proclaiming “I don’t give a shit what you white people think.” A few minutes later, the slapped man got up and gave up his seat so a woman could sit, the teen left his leg extended so that she had to sit side saddle. Slapping? I am only surprised that the seated man didn’t slap the teenager back, or that this didn’t devolve into some spiraling violence on the bus. What would you do if you saw such awful behavior on the bus? Share this Muni diary!

The Night Heron was a pop-up speakeasy hidden in a water tower high atop a building in Manhattan. Open for just six weeks starting in late March, the illegal establishment entertained small groups of guests with drinks and live music, all in the confines of a wooden water tower. The only way to access the speakeasy was to receive a special pocket watch from somebody who had already attended–the pocket watches served as tickets. The Night Heron was organized by N.D. Austin, the co-creator of Wanderlust Projects. For more on the speakeasy check out this article by The Atlantic Cities and this video by Brooklyn Laboratories.
