Doors singer Jim Morrison was posthumously pardoned today for his 1970 conviction for indecent exposure during a 1969 concert in Miami, Florida. Morrison, who died in Paris in 1971, would have turned 67 yesterday. Florida Governor Charlie Crist had asked the Clemency Board for the pardon, which was granted by unanimous vote. As for the indecent exposure charge? Morrison (and millions of others) always felt he was being made a scapegoat by the anti-counterculturalists (today, think "teahadists"). Doors keyboardist Ray Manzarek said, "It never actually happened." Shocking.
