When you're strange, people don't remember your name. ( Archived) (19)

galrads: Yeah, the Doors had a number of long play songs that could really get in your head back in the day, like 'light my fire.'

chatillion: There are many different stories about Morrison and the event in Miami.

"We say allegedly because no one actually knows what happened. He was knocked off the stage and rushed out of the audience by police but an arrest wouldn’t come for days. After the band left Florida six warrants for his arrest were issued, one for “lewd and lascivious behavior in public by exposing his private parts and by simulating ma$turbation and o*al copulation,” the rest were misdemeanors like public drunkenness and profanity..."

"The Miami Herald reports that about an hour into “a lousy concert” Morrison peeled his leather pants down a wee bit too far and simulated ma$turbation, but that he didn’t do anything illegal. If anything he pretended to expose himself, but Miami-Dade County officials were foaming at the mouth to dish out justice to the singer so they saw what they wanted to see when they saw Jim Morrison misbehaving at all on stage. They needed to make an example of him."

There is an error. In 1969, Miami-Dade County was known as Dade County.
The name change didn't occur until 1997.
