This Day in Rock History - Mar. 1st

1969: The Doors hold an infamous concert at the Coconut Grove Auditorium in Miami, Florida. Lead singer and resident bad boy, Jim Morrison is arrested on stage after he allegedly exposes himself to the crowd. He’s is not formally arraigned with a mug shot until September of the next year.

Although obviously drunk and verbally abusive to the crowd, Morrison is posthumously cleared of the indecent exposure charge during an appeals process that dragged on past the singer’s death in 1971.
