Two fans have asked Florida to pardon rock bad-boy Jim Morrison, the late lead singer for The Doors, who was convicted of exposing himself at a Miami concert nearly 40 years ago.
The two men, Kerry Humpherys of Utah and David Diamond of Ohio, sent a letter to Florida Governor Charlie Crist last month, asking him to issue a full pardon to Morrison on two misdemeanor charges of indecent exposure.
Morrison's trouble with the law stemmed from his notorious appearance at a Coconut Grove concert in 1969. Police said Morrison rolled down his leather pants and simulated masturbation on stage.
