Jim Morrison, the lead singer of The Doors, last week received a posthumous pardon for his 1970 convictions for profanity and indecent exposure, which followed a raucous 1969 performance in Florida.

(CNN) —︎ The Florida Board of Executive Clemency on Thursday voted unanimously to posthumously pardon Jim Morrison, the charismatic lead singer for The Doors, four decades after Morrison was convicted of indecent exposure and open profanity.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Florida’s Clemency Board has posthumously pardoned singer Jim Morrison of The Doors for his 40-year-old conviction on indecent exposure and profanity charges. Outgoing Gov. Charlie Crist requested the pardon Thursday. The Clemency Board unanimously granted it.

Crist expressed doubts that Morrison actually exposed himself during a rowdy March 1, 1969, concert in Miami’s Dinner Key Auditorium.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. – Florida Gov. Charlie Crist now has enough votes to get the state’s Executive Clemency Board to pardon Doors singer Jim Morrison for a 1969 indecent exposure conviction.

THEY WON A GREAT DEAL OF POSTHUMOUS CELEBRITY FOR BEING OUTLAWS – AND OUTLAWS THEY SHOULD REMAIN, SAYS JENNY MCCARTNEY.

Another week, and talk of yet another pardon: this time for Billy the Kid, the 19th-century outlaw who was shot dead by Sheriff Pat Garrett.

JIM MORRISON COULD BE GRANTED A POSTHUMOUS PARDON 40 YEARS AFTER HIS CONVICTION FOR INDECENT EXPOSURE, COURTESY OF OUTGOING FLORIDA GOVERNOR CHARLIE CRIST.

(CNN)— The charismatic but unpredictable lead singer of American rock band The Doors could be about to receive a posthumous pardon almost 40 years after being convicted of exposing himself on stage.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) — 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.

It will forever remain a pivotal moment in rock 'n' roll history—︎but the reality is, it might not have happened.

It was a classic skirmish of the 1960s culture war, pitting a nonconformist rock star and his bohemian fans against clean-cut defenders of acceptable behavior, the counterculture against the mainstream, and Jim Morrison against Anita Bryant.

Now the governor of Florida says he will seek to put an end to it by pursuing a posthumous pardon for two criminal convictions that Morrison, the frontman for the Doors, received after some very bad behavior at a 1969 concert in Miami.
