Los Angeles (E! Online) - • With the California Supreme Court declining to light their fire (or hear their appeal), the Doors' keyboardist Ray Manzarek and guitarist Robby Krieger will have to fork over more than $5 million in damages to drummer John Densmore and the heirs of Jim Morrison for touring as "The Doors of the 21st Century" in 2002 without permission.

1. Good for John; he's got class

I've always found Manzarek to be an annoying fuck who seemed to embody so much that I find repellent about rich boomer hippies. Hate his organ playing, also.
I was disappointed that Kreiger signed on for that dead dog and pony show. He's a really unique and underrated guitarplayer.
