Inside Jim Morrison’s 65th Birthday at Barney’s Beanery in West Hollywood, California…
Spotlights, classic cars, paparazzi, a huge line of people all waiting to get into the super exclusive Birthday party for the World Famous Legend: Jim Morrison.
Inside…Camera flashes, musicians, radio personalities, Jim Morrison fans, Doors fans and a HUGE 5 foot long, 3-piece cake for everyone! Band members Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek LIVE in person getting slammed with cameras and fans galore. TV screens all around Barney’s displaying a photo slide show of The Doors. Exclusive Doors music cranking…
Meanwhile, we sat down in a booth and continued our radio show on BlogTalkRadio. We ordered some complimentary all-you-can-eat food on the house! Thank you guys! Ray Manzarek had a little break so we went in for the photo opp! Ray Manzarek is super welcoming and very nice! Soon after, it was time to cut the cake.
Robby and Ray, standing together cutting Jim’s Birthday cake! Wow! Flash bulb frenzy! They cut the cake and began singing “Happy Birthday to Jim”. Jim’s vibe was strong and present. Jim actually used to sit in the booth where the cake was placed. That exact spot was Jim’s favorite.
Robby and Ray then moved over to the bar area for another photo op. The guys then joined up with radio personality Jim Ladd, and began the KLOS 95.5 LIVE feed at Barney’s. Memories, stories and facts about Jim and The Doors pinged a whirlwind of joy into the crowd.
Actor Corey Feldman walks on by! Oh yes. Corey Feldman from ‘The Goonies’, ‘The Lost Boys’, ‘The Burbs’ and ‘Stand By Me’ just to name a few of his films. We caught up with Corey and he told us that he has been focusing on music lately. Aside from his busy film schedule, Corey is a singer-songwriter and producer. Corey has been in the recording studio working with legendary artists. He has been working with friend/musician Jon Carin, who has played with Roger Waters from Pink Floyd. Corey also brought in buddy Scott Page on his album, who was the sax player for Pink Floyd. Corey is a super nice guy with a lot of depth. We’re interested to hear his music. Love him! We are going to have Corey on ThecounT.com soon enough!
We lastly got our hands on a piece of Jim’s Birthday cake. Jim’s cake was provided by West Hollywood’s #1 Celebrity cake shop, “Cake and Art”. They make cakes for every occasion from weddings to TV shows to celebrities and musicians. They even make doggie treats too!
What a wonderful birthday celebration. It was so amazing to see Robby Krieger and Ray Manzarek together again. We love you Jim! Happy 65th! XOXO
