    The Doors have some seminal contributions in music and lyrics, (sometimes maybe a tiny bit sexist) great and everything but I was under the impression that Jim used to whip it out and masturbate on stage a little, which would still be illegal now.

    Can anyone verify or disprove this? I never saw him live.

      He allegedly exposed himself only once in Miami. There is a lot of debate as to whether he really did or not.

      I thought he was already aquitted of the charges sometime after his death.

        Don't understand this. The legend of Jim Morrison is safe and secure, without the need to resurrect a court case that was specious in the first place. For anyone who appreciated the Doors for their outstanding music and poetry, he'll remain "Mr. Mojo Risin'" no matter what.
