Lost Interview With Jim Morrison

In 1969, Jim Morrison gave an interview to the Village Voice. It was thought to be lost, but it has been found and PBS Digital cleaned it up and added animation and now you can hear Jim discuss why fat is beautiful. There are so few recordings of interviews with the legendary singer of The Doors that it is really cool to listen to him speak and the animation is great.

Jim Morrison Pardon?

Way back in 1969, Jim Morrison was convicted of indecent exposure at a Florida concert. Now, outgoing Governor, Charlie Crist, is considering pardoning Jim Morrison for that crime.

“Candidly, it's something that I haven’t given a lot of thought to, but it's something I’m willing to look into in the time I have left,” said Crist. “Anything is possible.” A few years ago, Crist said that he would take a look at the case and give it a fair review. Three years later and he has said and done nothing in the case.

Despite being drunk off his ass at the concert, Morrison was cleared of public intoxication charges and also a felony charge for lewd and lascivious behavior. To be pardoned, Crist and at least two members of the Board Of Executive Clemency must vote in favor of the pardon. Their last meeting will be on December 9. Members of the board have stated they would be willing to pardon Morrison, but need the Governor to make the nomination.

Crist's term ends in January.
