Let's make this birthday one to remember.

81 years old (Born on December 08, 1943)

Happy birthday, Jim Morrison! Even though you've been busy breaking on through to the other side for decades now, your poetic lyrics and electrifying performances still light our fires. From mesmerizing crowds with "Light My Fire" to making us ponder life's mysteries in "Riders on the Storm," your legacy remains timelessly cool.

We'd love to celebrate by recounting your recent successes—but let's face it, you're probably off somewhere causing cosmic mischief or charming angels with that legendary charisma. Wherever you are today, Jim, keep rocking those leather pants and remember: People may be strange, but birthdays never get old!
