Florida Gov. Charlie Crist has pardoned the late Doors frontman Jim Morrison on a conviction of showing his penis to a Miami concert audience in 1969. Morrison's bandmates have long claimed that the singer may have been belligerent, drunk and obnoxious that night but kept his instrument in his pants.
