That last one gives me the chills whenever I see it.

THE DOORS - THE END (Excerpt) in honour of Chris, TrappedInLiberalHell, who posted here last, four months ago. This was one of the songs found on repeat on his computer...)

This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end

Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again

Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand In a...desperate land

Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah

There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway west, baby

Ride the snake, ride the snake To the lake, the ancient lake, baby The snake is long, seven miles Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold

The west is the best The west is the best Get here, and we'll do the rest

Chris was born in NYC, raised and worked in Central Connecticut and died in Salem, Oregon. I know he loved this song, and so I quote some of it in remembrance of him today. You are sadly missed, Chris, and always will be...
