By Breck Radulovic, September 17, 1970 Feb. 6, 2017 Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison Announce Joint 28th Birthday PartySeptember 17, 1970World famous rockers Jimi Hendrix, a visionary guitarist, and Jim Morrison, vocalist of psychedelic rock band The Doors, announced plans for a joint birthday party later this year. The two are planning to celebrate their 28th birthdays in bombastic, raucous style. Known for their wild music, rampant partying, and sex appeal, the bash is sure to be a riotous time. A copy of the invitation obtained by the Shady Dealer promises copious amounts of booze, barbiturates, and fun. \u201cJoin the Lizard King and Jimmy James in celebrating our 28th birthdays in style. We are currently 27 and can\u2019t wait to celebrate 28!\u201d Hendrix\u2019s birthday falls on November 27th and Morrison\u2019s a few days later on December 8th. Hendrix admitted that they announced the party a little early, but is quoted as saying, \u201cJim and I can\u2019t wait to join the 28 Club! It\u2019s gonna be a big year!\u201d The \u201c28 Club\u201d referenced by Hendrix is an association of musicians who have lived to the age of 28 and beyond. Despite his reputation for public nudity and illicit drug use, \u201cMr. Mojo Risin\u2019\u201d has promised that he plans to slow down on illicit drug use after thehis upcoming celebrationbirthday. Morrison acknowledged, \u201cI\u2019m getting older, and my drug intake needs to reflect that. I\u2019ll probably cut down on the heroin after my birthday. After I make it to 28, I\u2019d like to make it to 29, and even 30.\u201d Luckily for these debauched musicians, there are no known side effects of excessive alcohol or barbiturate use, and there seems to be no reason that the planned party should fail to occur. All well-wishes, birthday cards, and gifts should be sent to the musician\u2019s next-of-kin, just in case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1657","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-komono"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1657","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1657"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1657\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2690,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1657\/revisions\/2690"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1657"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1657"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chicagoshadydealer.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1657"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
