Ray Manzarek is dead. The band he co-founded was named, via an Aldous Huxley title, after a line from William Blake:
If the doors of perception were cleansed every thing would appear to man as it is, infinite. For man has closed himself up, till he sees all things through narrow chinks of his cavern.
With shades (or shadows?) of Plato’s cave, this quote has a lot to say about how we shape our reality.
