this is what can be called a complete hoax !

indeed (it has to be checked out) the name of the bar ''Kng Lezard'' DON'T EVEN BELONG to the Doors ! Nor didn(t it belong to Jim himseilf ! it was just a nickname used by the rock press --and the fans-- to designate Jim affectionately, but I doubt very much that anybody had ever registered that moniker as a trade mark, be it the Doors as a group (dissolved anyway), its management, or Elektra, their record company...
As such, Manzarek has NO RIGHT whatsoever to forbid anybody to use that denomination !
the only nuisance that he can carry on is, eventually, forbid the use of Doors' songs to name alcoholic cocktails, bein' given that they probably own the copyrights on the titles... But then let's refer to above commentary about Hard Rock Cafés all over the world, naming cocktails after Doors titles, among others, without any legal action... CQFD !
