Thanks for that! It brings back additional memories: I had a buddy who was a two-tour Vietnam Vet. When he visited my apartment, he'd always put on The Doors, and sit there lost in the memories. He told me once that he was badly wounded after a firefight and as he was airlifted out, he could hear the lyrics of Jim Morrison's "The End". His last conscious thought was, "God! This is fitting!" He didn't die, of course, but he thought he was going to. Sadly, I lost touch with him about fifteen years ago, and only recently found out that he died in 1995. This site makes me remember his quiet wisdom. Thanks for posting it!
