~The Doors FINALLY get the 'Star' on the Hollywood walk of fame~
So as the ODLH-PBF press was going on right next door at the Virgin Mega store they were presenting The Doors with a 'Star' on the Hollywood walk of fame..... I managed to snap a picture of the star...
LOS ANGELES - Forty years ago, the Doors' Jim Morrison seduced Hollywood with his wild moves and wilder poetry. On Wednesday, the rock band cemented its legendary status with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
The Doors' keyboardist Ray Manzarek, 68, and guitarist Robby Krieger, 61, showed up minus drummer John Densmore for the dedication of the walk's 2,325th star.
"Jim always used to say: The West is the best!" Krieger said. "It has been an incredible 40 years, and now I'm back with Ray and we're still playing, and you know, it may never end."
The band, whose dark sound helped to define the `60s, is known for such hits as "Light My Fire" and "L.A. Woman."
"It is a great honor to receive a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame ... a street that Jim Morrison, Robby Krieger and I traipsed up and down, going into bars, asking if they'd hire a rock band," Densmore said in a statement read by Morrison's nephew, Dylan Graham.
Densmore, 62, said he was unable to make the ceremony because of an interview commitment to a local radio station.
The hard-living Morrison died at age 27 in 1971 and the Doors dissolved a few years later.
The surviving members have sparred legally over the of the group's name.
In 2005, a judge issued a permanent injunction barring Krieger and Manzarek from calling themselves the Doors and using any likeness of Morrison to promote a renewed version of the band.

Nice post mick. Did you take that photo of the star? When I visited Paris I actually went to Jim Morrisons grave it was pretty sick man there was tons of people around it and people were leaving cigarettes on the grave and flowers and all typs of shite. Funny storry real quick when I walked into the grave yard I was looking for the grave and I couldnt find it all. So I walked up to this guy and I shite you not he looked exactly like Jim Morrison and I asked him where the grave was so I followed him there and when I got there everyone was starrring at that because like me I think everyone thouhg he looked exactly like Jim. I just thought that was pretty Ironic. But anyway heres a :coolclick: for the post.
