This 1971 Doors Classic Reveals Jim Morrison’s Distress From Conviction Before His Death

This 1971 Doors Classic Reveals Jim Morrison’s Distress From Conviction Before His Death.  On October 30, 1970 Jim Morrison sat in a Miami courtroom waiting to hear his sentencing for indecent exposure and open profanity. His defense files a motion for a new trial- they are denied. The judge enters the courtroom and begins to lecture Morrison on his responsibilities as a citizen and an entertainer.  The prosecution goes through a list of Morrison’s prior run-ins dating back to his 1963 Florida State University arrest when he was a student at age 19. The Judge then announces his sentence of six months in jail and a $500 fine for Indecent Exposure and a sixty day sentence for Open Profanity. He remains free on a $50,000 bond pending his appeal.

From Jim Morrison’s distress a paradox emerges that develops into a timeless Doors classic that will become his swan song.
