The Doors Respond To Florida’s Pardon Of Jim Morrison

40 YEARS AFTER MEDIA AND COURT CIRCUS, THE DOORS SPEAK OUT


The Doors

In the wake of Florida’s decision to issue a pardon to Jim Morrison of The Doors more than 40 years after
his alleged obscene acts on a Miami stage, his bandmates Ray Manzarek, John Densmore and Robby
Krieger
issued this statement:

In 1969 the Doors played an infamous concert in Miami, Florida. Accounts vary as to what actually happened on
stage that night.

Whatever took place that night ended with The Doors sharing beers and laughter in the dressing room with the Miami
police, who acted as security at the venue that evening. No arrests were made. The next day we flew off to Jamaica
for a few days’ vacation before our planned 20-city tour of America.

That tour never materialized. Four days later, warrants were issued in Miami for the arrest of Morrison on trumped-
up charges of indecency, public obscenity, and general rock-and-roll revelry. Every city The Doors were booked into
canceled their engagement.

A circus of fire-and-brimstone “decency” rallies, grand jury investigations and apocalyptic editorials followed – not
to mention allegations ranging from the unsubstantiated (he exposed himself) to the fantastic (the Doors were
“inciting a riot” but also “hypnotizing” the crowd).

In August, Jim Morrison went on trial in Miami. He was acquitted on all but two misdemeanor charges and sentenced
to six months’ hard labor in Raiford Penitentiary. He was appealing this conviction when he died in Paris on July 3,
1971. Four decades after the fact, with Jim an icon for multiple generations – and those who railed against him now
a laughingstock – Florida has seen fit to issue a pardon.

We don’t feel Jim needs to be pardoned for anything.

His performance in Miami that night was certainly provocative, and entirely in the insurrectionary spirit of The Doors’
music and message. The charges against him were largely an opportunity for grandstanding by ambitious politicians
- not to mention an affront to free speech and a massive waste of time and taxpayer dollars. As Ann Woolner of the
Albany Times-Union wrote recently, “Morrison’s case bore all the signs of a political prosecution, a rebuke from the
cultural right to punish a symbol of Dionysian rebellion.”

If the State of Florida and the City of Miami want to make amends for the travesty of Jim Morrison’s arrest and
prosecution forty years after the fact, an apology would be more appropriate – and expunging the whole sorry
matter from the record. And how about a promise to stop letting culture-war hysteria trump our First Amendment
rights? Freedom of Speech must be held sacred, especially in these reactionary times.

Love,

The Doors
The Morrison Family
