Every town has its weird history, and even the newest housing tract of wet stucco and green 2x4s has some kind of buried backstory. The island city where I live today is loaded with Gold Rush tales and Victorian mansions, but the fact that Jim Morrison spent his formative years around the block is not something you can learn about at the local historical society.

After intense wrangling, Florida Gov. Charlie Crist yesterday grabbed enough support from the state's Clemency Board to posthumously pardon The Doors' Jim Morrison for allegedly whipping out his "magnificent member" during a 1969 Miami concert/riot. Justice has been served.

Florida Gov. Charlie Crist, who will be unemployed in two months, may pardon the late Doors frontman Jim Morrison over a famous 1969 indecent exposure charge. (He drunkenly waved his penis around, allegedly.) Finally, hippies have something to cheer for.
