    • The Doors - NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 12: Personal note books and some of the last pictures of The Doors lead singer Jim Morrison are displayed at the Park Avenue Armory which is hosting the New York Antiquarian Book Fair on April 12, 2013 in New York City.

    • The Doors - VILLACANAS, SPAIN - NOVEMBER 23: A man plays his guitar trying to make money on an empty Plaza Mayor on November 23, 2012 in Villacanas, Spain. During the boom years, where in its peak Spain built some 800,000 houses a year accompanied by the manufacturing of millions of wooden doors where needed, the people of Villacanas were part of Spain's middle class enjoying high wages and permanent jobs. During the construction boom years the majority of the doors used within these new developments were made in this small industrial town. Approximately seven million doors a year were once assembled here and the factory employed a workforce of almost 5700 people, but the town is now left almost desolate with the Villacanas industrial park now empty and redundant. With Spain in the grip of recession and the housing bubble burst, Villacanas is typical of many former buoyant industrial Spanish towns now struggling with huge unemployment problems.

    The Doors' Ray Manzarek turned 74 last week and the Doors' keyboardist remains in shape and fit.

    He even shared his fitness regimen with VH1 Classic Radio, saying, "Okay, here's what you gotta do to stay young and vital and healthy and keep your energy: Work out, pump a little iron, even if it's just doing push-ups and sit-ups.  You know, you do sit-ups on the floor, you do push-ups on the floor, do deep-knee bends.  I would advise staggered 50 push-ups, sit-ups do 100 squats, deep-knee bends do 30 to 50 and do that every day while you're watching TV, then eat organic, if you can.  If you can eat organic great, if not, eat what's in season."

    Will you follow Ray Manzarek's fitness advice?
