allegedly

jim

morrison

exposed himself during a performance and simulated masturbation. this accusation had no witnesses except for one a relative of the arresting officer. he was acquitted of the charges in 1969 i believe. unfortunately

jim

morrison

was the target of police harassment so often people began to believe that it was all an act and this lost the doors a lot of fans thinking that they'd gone commercial. to clarify

jim

was insane like most geniuses. true to his own destiny

jim

morrison

was a man who would not compromise when it came to his art. his sister said he told her that he thought the audience deserved a spectacle for the money they paid and that is what they got.

He tried to start a riot. he failed, but a warrant for his arrest was issued 3 days later for indecent exposure, which means he was showing unnecessary parts of his body. Generally these parts are considered to be gross if shown in public. *cough cough*
