Controversial Concert Causes Contradictory Claims

On the 1st of March 1969 Jim Morrison of “The Doors” allegedly dropped his trousers and exposed a bit too much of himself to the nearly 12,000 fans at a concert. Whether or not Morrison really exposed himself is unclear. His band-mate, Ray Manzarek, claimed that he just took his shirt off and waved it in front of his crotch to taunt the audience. A number of conflicting stories about the exact details of this incident exist. Morrison was eventually charged and convicted. He died while the case was under appeal.

In 2010 the governor of Florida granted Morrison a posthumous pardon.
