    On March 1, 1969, a drunk Morrison was arrested at his concert in Miami after exposing himself on stage.

    Charges included lewd and lascivious behavior, profanity, and public drunkenness.

    The incident caused an uproar, and The Doors had to stop touring because promoters kept canceling their shows. Morrison plead guilty to indecent exposure and public profanity.

    • Thanks, pepe08. The "profanity" was hardly anything new for any group at that time, but the "exposure" was a first...at least for the good citizens of Miami in 1969. And Morrison was definitely "out of it". The group was really upset with him. It was the start of many things that led to the split even before Morrison died.

    • The Doors were already in disfavor because of their statements, words, songs, et cetera that showed their
      negative criticism toward Vietnam. So the Miami
      performance simply caused the government to like them
      less. But the city of Miami got a healthy boost from
      The Doors when the bond was paid. Almost all of that
      movie was true. Morrison would have done time if the
      band/Electra did not get the defense to pay the money.
