Former "Doors" keyboardist Ray Manzarek talks with author and music journalist Ben Fong-Torres about The Doors' experience as the house band for L.A.'s "Whisky a Go Go," during the summer of 1966.

-----

Ben Fong-Torres and Ray Manzarek talk about "The Doors."

Marking the band's 40th anniversary, Manzarek, Robby Krieger, and John Densmore - the surviving members of The Doors - invite fans inside their world in Ben Fong-Torres' new book "The Doors."

Ray Manzarek is an American musician, producer, movie director, writer, co-founder and keyboardist of The Doors from 1965 to 1973, and the Doors of the 21st Century (renamed Riders On The Storm) since 2001.

Ben Fong-Torres has published five or six books (he's lost count), including his best-selling memoirs, "The Rice Room: Growing Up Chinese American," his first collection of articles from his years at Rolling Stone, "Not Fade Away," and his latest, a second collection, "Becoming Almost Famous." That title comes from the movie, "Almost Famous," in which Ben was a real-life character. He is also a broadcaster and the radio columnist for The San Francisco Chronicle.

nice, ray and george would be so proud of you. Weird that you were so affected by 'cover story' reviews when you were 12 years old. Troll.

I looked at Ben Fong Torres book "The Doors on The Doors" this week ... I was dissapointed that he got the year and locations wrong on just about every caption for the photos.
