If he hadn't died in 1971, December 8th may have been Jim Morrison's 65th birthday.
Now, to celebrate the non-occasion, Los Angeles radio station KLOS will host a special broadcast at Morrison's former hang out, the West Hollywood dive bar Barney's Beanery.
On hand for the event will be former Doors Ray Manzarek and Robby Krieger, who will autograph copies of the Doors newly released double-disc, Live At The Matrix 1967.
But it's the unveiling of the pee-pee plaque that is most exciting!
Morrison was once ejected from Barney's for urinating ON the bar. Now, the bar will memorialize that event by placing a plaque in the exact spot the alleged urination occurred.
"I'm hoping Ray's incredibly sharp memory will help us locate it," says Barney's co-owner David Houston. "Wherever he says it happened, that's where we'll put it up."

on the cover of janis' "cheap thrills" album, there's a cartoon version of barney's beanery. evidently a hot spot among rockers -- although i'm sure she never took a wiz on the bar.
