DO YOU ROCK?
Ray Manzarek
Does
the ex-Doors keyboardist and legendary acid lover.....rock?
Blender: Have a gambling
fixation?
Ray: No, but
I've had a candling fixation. Hot wax dripping on a woman's breasts or my
abdomen....that's a fixation!
Blender: Ever trashed a hotel
room?
Ray:
Absolutely. If you're in rock & roll, you've got to. Once, at a Long Island
Holiday Inn, I snorted cocaine off the ass of a 11-year-old Arab boy. All I
could do was kick over the furniture.
Blender: Most expensive item
of clothing?
Ray: A
$15,000 flared mod-style suit from Roland Meladandri.
Blender: Most people you've
woken up next to in bed?
Ray:
Thirteen, two Arab boys, five Japenese girls. Jim Morrison, two cafe-au-lait
girls from Harlem and three California blondes, after a Madison Square Garden
gig.
Blender: Biggest celeb in
your cellphone?
Ray: Mel
Gibson, though we've never spoken. We share a common existentialism and
apocalyptic thought.
Blender: Partied at the
Playboy Mansion?
Ray: Chicago,
1970. We ate, drank, and felt breasts. Breasts weren't as hard as they are
now.
Blender: Best High?
Ray: LSD.
I've done it 20 times. You need to do it until the doors of perception open.
Once they do, you see things as they are---infinite! Lay off the cocaine and
heroin, and go psychedelic.
