Doors singer's indecent exposure conviction may be quashed

A conviction of indecent exposure against legendary Doors frontman Jim Morrison may be quashed, almost 40 years after he was charged.

TV Producer Dave Diamond has sought the pardon from Florida Governor Charlie Crist who is said to be reviewing the case.

Morrison was arrested following a 1969 Miami concert during which and was charged with indecent exposure and profanity.

Diamond's intention is to have Morrison, a Florida native, remembered as an artist and not as a criminal. He is arguing that had the incident occurred in the current times, the singer would not have been charged.

Morrison suffered heart failure in Paris two years after the incident. He was 27. At the time of his death, the case was still under appeal.

Maybe he'll come out of hiding to colab with 2 Pac?

Although, to be fair, I doubt this will change the opinion of those who think of him as a drunk who whipped his cock out. Just erasing it from the books doesn't mean that it didn't happen.

plus its not very rock 'n roll to have a governor pardon you. stick it to the man and keep that cook out in heaven , jim.

it worked for the catholic church

Thank god the state government of Florida is hard at work on important matters like this.

This makes a lot of sense seeing as how Jim Morrison was the only popular music artist to ever get arrested.

King aside, who really sees him as a criminal anyway?

Yeah, really. When someone says the name Jim Morrison, I don't think of some guy getting handcuffed. I think of the music or his drug/liquor problems, but not him pulling his cock out in Florida in 1969. I mean, who hasn't pulled their cock out for strangers to see at some point in their lives?

King.

i think its really good but i also think its bad moral questions sometimes i wonder i think its good cause it brings his legacy into a truer aspect a truth a genius hes a genius and that should not go unackowledged he waved it around he may have waved it around in public what was profanity then is it profane now is profane then elvin prez shakin them hips ha ha ha those idiots they wouldnt show his hips ha ha did they just never look down at their own bad posture was it instilled in them did they look up all times like looking up at all times daddy would have fucked them up if they even thought to i say we pardon it all hes dead but he was also fat also like elvis towards the end i say we look at it from the weight watchers perspective he was 3x over the calorie limit towards the end also that gay beard what was with that hiding his beatiful face with that mask of hair i say we look at not as profanity but just from a purely factual kind of thing which what i mean is he sang them songs the good ones a lot of bad ones inconsistent albums but really the first one and morrison hotel where the shit

Every member of the Doors has gone on record as saying he stuck his thumb thru the fly in his pants. I wasn't there, but I don't think he wagged the weenie.

Someone buy King a fullstop and a capital letter.

This is dumb. This is only going to bring it into the public eye and magnify the amount of coverage and thought of him as being the 'got his dick out in public' guy. To me this is like a scab on your arm, pick at it and it'll get bloodier and worse, leave it and it'll heal up and noone will think of it again.

I don't think of him as the guy who got his cock out, I think of him as a charasmatic front man who is overrated in dorm rooms and freedom thinkers throughout the US of A.

eh...i'll just keep listening to the albums and live shows

I know all about that and I don't think he did it, either. But the public does. And I kind of agree with others here that it's probably better off left alone. I'll just go back to the albums, shows or my copies of "Lords and The New Creatures" and "Wilderness" - that's what shapes my image of the man, not whether or not he took the bait out of the tackle box in public.
