September 20, 1970

On This Date in TWISTED-HISTORY.com in 1970, the Jim Morrison, the lead singer of the rock group The Doors, pled guilty to the charges of indecent exposure and profanity for his antics at a concert in Miami, Florida. He claimed he only pled guilty because it was easier to pay the $500 fine and receive a suspended sentence of 6 months, rather than have to go through a trial and be found innocent, not because he flashed the audience. He also said “it’s a damned rock concert, cussing is going to happen. Hell, even the Admiral cusses.”
