I'm going to go ahead and take the liberty of saying “Jim Morrison Would Not Want To Be Pardoned” by publicity seeking Florida governor Charlie Crist.
Crist said in an interview to the New York Times “In some ways it seems like a tragic conclusion to a young man's life to have maybe this be a lasting legacy, where we're not even sure that it actually occurred.”
Apparently Crist thinks that Jim Morrison made a mistake and that he deserves a belated second chance.
But while Morrison was alive he said:
“I am interested in anything about revolt, disorder, chaos-especially activity that seems to have no meaning. It seems to me to be the road toward freedom... Rather than starting inside, I start outside and reach the mental through the physical.”
“Whoever controls the media, controls the mind.”
"When you make your peace with authority, you become authority."
So even if Morrison didn't get naked in front of people, he wore that type of behavior as a badge of honor. It represents freedom, for which men like Morrison coveted.
Granting Jim Morrison a pardon is nothing more than a self serving publicity stunt for the governor. If governor Crist wants to do something positive for Jim Morrison he should try to understand him.
