Around 3 a.m. Sunday, Julian Bond, NAACP board chairman, left Peabody Place with composer Warren Zevon, musician Michael  Wolff, state Sen. Steve Cohen and attorney Irvin Salky.

Among those who stopped by the club while Hayes held court were Denzel Washington, Wesley Snipes, David Hasselhoff, actor Leon and singer Warren Zevon. Said Rock and Roll Hall of Famer Hayes about the many film, music and sports figures who stopped by that night, "They're my friends."
