It’s the kind of memorial rock stars dream of … famed Sunset Strip nightclub Whisky a Go Go — where The Doors got their start back in the 60s — will be honoring Ray Manzarek on its marquee for the rest of the week, TMZ has learned.
A rep for the famed rock club tells us, the marquee memorial will stay up tonight through Saturday — and every show in the meantime will be dedicated in Manzarek’s honor.
The rep says the club will also be briefly “going dark” tonight at 8pm in remembrance.
As we reported, Manzarek — one of the founding members of the iconic rock band — passed away today following a long battle with bile duct cancer. He was 74.
The Doors were playing as the house band at the Whisky — opening for acts like Van Morrison — when a record exec discovered them and gave the band their first big record deal.

CHINATOWN. Jerry Goldsmith’s legendary score is now available on both Amazon and iTunes. Am really surprised that this has been made available digitally. The CD has been out of print for years (maybe decades?) and a reissue ought to have been gigantic news in the music world.

Sometimes you find the all-time perfect song already in your iTunes a week prior to your wedding day - and sometimes it even names the location.

Pop song titles are losing the love
In recent years, the percentage of music hits with love in the song title has been only 30 percent of what it was in 1980. Why? Arika Okrent investigates.

For fans of Pittsburgh’s legendary band THEAFFORDABLEFLOORS, bassist Eric Riebling has a real treat on his website here. It’s 1,000 Days, which - had everything gone according to plan - would have been the major label debut of “THEFLOORS”… as in the line “We’re changing your name, can you wait in the foyer?” from the song Nothing Personal on All the Things I Meant to Be.
Some these songs ended up on ATTIMTB, some of these were re-arrangements or re-recordings of tunes from their first 2 LPs, and at least one - Once In A World - was a live favorite that never quite saw release in any other form.
Enjoy it, and revel in this lost piece of Floors history.
