This 1971 Doors Classic Reveals Jim Morrison’s Distress Before His Death. On October 30, 1970 Jim Morrison sat in a Miami courtroom waiting to hear his sentencing for indecent exposure and open profanity. His defense files a motion for a new trial- they are denied. The judge enters the courtroom and begins to lecture Morrison on his responsibilities as a citizen and an entertainer. The prosecution goes through a list of Morrison’s prior run-ins dating back to his 1963 Florida State University arrest when he was a student at age 19. The Judge then announces his sentence of six months in jail and a $500 fine for Indecent Exposure and a sixty day sentence for Open Profanity. He remains free on a $50,000 bond pending his appeal.

From Jim Morrison’s distress a paradox emerges that develops into a timeless Doors classic that will become his swan song.
