As we near the end of this difficult political season, we continue to hear from WikiLeaks and the scandals that are purportedly suggested in the stolen emails from Hillary’s team. Scandal is a known friend of politics, and it’s also a part of rock and roll. Here are a few of the biggest rock scandals we can remember…

Jim Morrison had way too much to drink one night in Miami, and exposed himself to a raucous crown, arrested and charged with ‘indecent exposure’.

Those are the biggest scandals we can remember. How about you?
