TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – It's a strange sheaf of documents for Florida's governor to have. The thick notebook describes how Jim Morrison discussed sex with a lamb he held on stage, ordered fans to "love your neighbor 'til it hurts" and later, at trial, defended his boozy singing to a prosecutor.
But did the lead singer of The Doors show his genitals to the crowd at the 1969 concert in Miami, a charge on which he was famously convicted? Gov. Charlie Crist wants to posthumously pardon him of indecent exposure and profanity convictions, and the governor's last chance is coming up at a Clemency Board meeting next Thursday. Crist leaves office in January.
To prepare for the meeting, Crist asked his staff to find whatever information they could about the Miami concert, and the governor received a three-ring binder with dozens of pages. The documents paint a vivid picture of a wild night.
At one point, Morrison told the Miami crowd, "I'm talkin' about love your neighbor 'til it hurts! I'm talkin' about grab your friend! I'm talkin' about some love, I'm talkin' about some love, I'm talking about some love, I'm talkin' about love, love, love, love, love, love, love, love! Grab your (expletive) friend and love him! Come on! Yeah!"

Did the lamb actually JOIN in the discussion? Because that WOULD be news.
Help! I`ve been literally alliterated!!
I have a ‘bootleg’ copy of that concert.
The above transcipt of the audio is mostly accurate.
Morrison’s father was CINCPAC at the Gulf of Tonkin.
Crist only initiated this inquiry in the hopes of seeing photographic evidence of Morrison’s “junk”.
Old hippies are utterly pathetic. They just can’t get their head out of the 60s.
Old Morrison photos make Charlie hot.
"Let me tell you something. We need a two and a half hour movie about the Doors? Folks, no we don't. I can sum it up for you in five seconds, ok. I'm drunk. I'm nobody. I'm drunk. I'm famous. I'm drunk. I'm f...ing dead. There's the whole movie, ok!? 'Big Fat Dead Guy in a Bath Tub', there's your title for you." - DENIS LEARY NO CURE FOR CANCER
Morrison had very little talent in my oppinion.
David Crosby (another liberal I can’t stand) told the story of Janice Joplin knocking Morrison out with a Jack Daniel bottle. Crosby said nobody liked Morrison.
I thought Morrison hated hippies.
Gov. Charlie Crist wants to posthumously pardon him of indecent exposure and profanity convictions
because.......???????
The Clock That Went Backwards Again (The Doors - 1969-03-01 - Miami)
Thanks. Will bump for home cooking.
“To prepare for the meeting, Crist asked his staff to find whatever information they could about the Miami concert, and the governor received a three-ring binder with dozens of pages”.
They have time to do this but none for Florida citizens who requested Crist lend some assistance to the fishing industry that is in dire straits due to the over regulation from the Fed’s.
Don’t let the door hit you in the ass charlie.
These convictions are part of Rock and Roll HISTORY.
Anybody seeking to pardon Morrison (as with Jessie James in New Mexico) is just trying to get their footnot in history.
thanks for putting your priorities straight Governor. That should put a lot of people to work, feed a lot of hungry and drive crime down.
Well, there’s a point in Morrison’s favor.
