Jim Morrison, the legendary singer of the Doors, is now officially a free man! Today, a huge announcement was made in the music world that the Doors singer was pardoned for exposing himself and cussing like crazy at a Doors concert in Miami in 1969. Jim Morrison was pardoned by Florida governor, Charlie Crist. Of course, in the hearing there will always be someone to hate Jim Morrison for what he did, Attorney general, Bill McCollum slammed Morrison’s behavior while Crist did his best to defend Morrison. Alex Sink, also defended Morrison by saying, “nobody knows what happened that day”. For those that assumed that Morrison was a flat out junkie, Alex Sink proved that Morrison lived a clean life for over 40 years. The reason for the pardon is because Morrison created a legacy with the Doors and his music meant a lot to so many people.

This is really amazing news! If Jim Morrison was still alive today, I’m sure this would have made him one very happy guy, he wouldn’t stop smiling over this, I’m sure!!!!  I’m sure the other guys in the Doors: Ray Manzarek, Robby Krieger and Jon Densmore are very happy for Jim too.

I’m a huge Doors fan as they have a lot of influence in my own music and songwriting.
