In the late 1960s, the band Alice Cooper<\/a> relocated to Los Angeles. Though ultimately, the group would relocate once again to the Midwest, the group connected with another Los Angeles group there. The Doors became mentors to the young rock group. Alice Cooper’s lead singer, then known as Vincent Furnier, spent time with Jim Morrison and has since described this experience. In 2008, on his Planet Rock<\/em> radio show, Alice Cooper recounted times he spent with Morrison. Reported through Uncut<\/em><\/a>, Cooper explained, “The thing about Jim was it was sometimes dangerous being around him because there was no such thing as a dare. He would jump out of cars and roll down hills.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cooper went on to tell an outrageous story, “At a big party for The Doors<\/a> at the 6000 building on Sunset, he’s got a bottle of whiskey in each hand, on top of the building, balancing like a high-wire act. One gust of wind and he is over. I’m sitting there going, ‘How come no one is pulling him off the ledge? It’s Jim Morrison!’ And they’re like, ‘If he falls, he falls.'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
