Leave a Comment Posted by Josh Gordon

I never thought I was one of those people: the kind who can’t ever take their eyes off of their phone screens.

Ray Manzarek, keyboardist and songwriter for American rock band The Doors, died Monday from bile duct cancer in a clinic at Rosenheim, Germany at the age of 74. Manzarek helped mold one of the most influential bands of the psychedelic era with his brilliant songwriting and intoxicating piano playing.

Raised in Chicago, Manzarek eventually brought his love of jazz and blues to the sunny scene of Los Angeles. Fresh to the west coast, he eventually teamed up with Jim Morrison and created legendary American rock band, The Doors. In 1965, the addition of drummer John Densmore and guitarist Robby Krieger solidified the band’s journey to rock n’ roll stardom.

In New York City, you just never know who your neighborhood drug dealer might be. It’s tough making an honest living in the city that never sleeps, but some people will do just about anything to get by. This week, a Papa John’s delivery man was arrested for selling more than $40,000 in cocaine hidden in pizza boxes to undercover police officers he met near his home and outside the Brooklyn restaurant where he works.

Ramon Rodriguez, 45, was charged Wednesday with multiple counts of criminal sale of a controlled substance and one count of criminal possession of a controlled substance.

Prosecutors say Rodriguez allegedly sold cocaine to undercover officers 19 times since the fall of 2011, often dressed in his work clothes to blend in.
